upstreman UPDEH-80A against the category
That's 22% below the dehumidifier category average of 378 kWh/yr, and ranks 242 of 546 certified dehumidifiers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every dehumidifier ENERGY STAR currently certifies (546 models), not an outside benchmark, about $16/year below that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
pauvoern ZY24P-01A ($56/yr, 297 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the upstreman UPDEH-80A. DREAME CVF39A ($55/yr, 295 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Within the upstreman lineup
The upstreman UPDEH-80A is the only dehumidifier from upstreman 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.
Is it worth replacing?
The upstreman UPDEH-80A is already efficient for its category at $55/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new dehumidifier costs to run.
Compare current ENERGY STAR certified dehumidifiers before buying.
Protecting what you have
The upstreman UPDEH-80A already costs $55/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. Ranked 242 of 546, the upstreman UPDEH-80A sits in the middle of the dehumidifier category, see the guide to why your state changes this number for the other half of the math.
