Concetta AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL dehumidifier: specs and cost

Our read

Who it suits

At 9 pints a day, the AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL 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’s one of the cheaper models of its size to run.

Running cost

Cheaper to run than most 13-pint and smaller models

It uses 12 kWh a year less than the median 13-pint and smaller model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $24 saved in the United States.

in the United States

In 24 hours at full output, the AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL pulls about 1.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 2.2 kWh. That day costs $0.40 in the United States.

About 48 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 105 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $0.40.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL pulls out less than 9 pints a day.

Those 1.1 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 AS-CSJ72XK-2WT-OL has.
