The closest alternatives by cost

Within the STOPSAD lineup
The STOPSAD FDD20-5272V1R5-E is the only dehumidifier from STOPSAD that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full dehumidifier category.
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
The STOPSAD FDD20-5272V1R5-E is already efficient for its category at $37/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dehumidifier costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $37/year just to run, a dehumidifier is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
