Andte PD50K dehumidifier: specs and cost to run

Our read

Who it suits

At 16 pints a day, the PD50K sits below the smallest size in the ENERGY STAR table. That size is 20 pints, for a damp room under 2,000 sq ft. It uses more power than most models its size.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.

Running cost

Costs more to run than most 14–18 pint models

It uses 11 kWh a year more than the median 14–18 pint model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $21 extra in the United States. The 11 thriftiest 14–18 pint models, such as the Concetta AS-CSJ72XK-4D5WT-OL, would each cost $24 less.

Ask for a noise figure

Our sources publish no noise level for the PD50K. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.

From the data

Where it stands

At 193 kWh a year, it sits 11 kWh above the middle of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-290.
No Wi-Fi app.Not listed as connected.
Of the 26 certified 14–18 pint portables, 16 use less energy, and 1 uses exactly as much.
At 1.75 liters per kWh, it clears the federal minimum for its class by 35%.The DOE sets 1.30 L/kWh for portables rated 25 pints a day or less. Every unit made since June 13, 2019, must meet it.
The smallest portable certified under the Andte name. Next up is the PD80K, at 23 pints.That one uses 72 kWh a year more.
On the market since April 2026, newer than 38% of the 14–18 pint models on the list.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 14 of the 14–18 pint models.
Another brand near this size: the Costway ES10328US-WH, at 16 pints and 191 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States

In 24 hours at full output, the PD50K pulls about 1.9 gallons of water from the air and uses about 4.2 kWh. That day costs $0.77 in the United States.

About 46 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 193 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $0.77.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the PD50K pulls out less than 15.5 pints a day.

Those 1.9 gallons need a way out: a hose to a drain, a pump, or a bucket you empty. Our sources don’t say which ones the PD50K has.
