Lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components does not publish a figure for dehumidifiers, so no lifetime cost is shown here rather than a guessed one. The annual and monthly figures above stand on their own.
Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified dehumidifiers go, $71/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
Whether or not the KESNOS JD025N-120 ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a dehumidifier, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
