What sits beside it in the ranking

Comparing Noma's own models
Noma makes 3 ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers; this one ranks 2 of 3 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the 043-8818-6 at $68/yr, and its priciest, the 043-8849-2 at $99/yr.
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.
Shopping for a new one
The Noma 043-0755-2 runs above its category average. If the dehumidifier you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $99/year every year.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers before buying.
Protecting what you have
The Noma 043-0755-2 already costs $99/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. At rank 499 of 546 for running cost, see the dehumidifier category page for the rest of the field, or the guide to how much your state matters.
