Weighing a replacement
The Yoau; Shinco; UHOME YDN-50P/6P 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 $89/year every year.
