Running cost
Among the thriftier 19–28 pint models
It uses 27 kWh a year less than the median 19–28 pint model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $54 saved in the United States.

Who it suits
On the ENERGY STAR table, the AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL suits a very damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a wet one. It’s one of the cheaper models of its size to run.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Ask before you buy
Ask for a noise figure
Our sources publish no noise level for the AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.
Quiet dehumidifier guideFrom the data
Where it stands
- Uses 257 kWh a year, 27 kWh under the median of its class.
- Its refrigerant is R-32.
- No Wi-Fi app.Not listed as connected.
- Of the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 7 use less energy, and 2 use exactly as much.
- At 2.04 liters per kWh, it clears the federal minimum for its class by 57%.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.
- Concetta’s next size down is the AS-CSJ72XK-4D5WT-OL, rated 16 pints.That one uses 76 kWh a year less.
- Sold since March 2026. Among 19–28 pint models, 104 of 155 came out earlier.
- On the EPA’s Most Efficient list, like 30 other 19–28 pint models.
- Another brand near this size: the Deye DYD-P30, at 25 pints and 256 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

Run for a whole day at its rating, the AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL removes 25 pints, about 3.1 gallons, on roughly 5.8 kWh. In the United States, that’s $1.06.
Divide the EPA’s 257 kWh a year by one full day’s use, and you get roughly 44 days. Past that, each day at full output adds $1.06 to the bill.
The DOE test behind those 25 pints runs at 65°F and 60% humidity. At the same humidity, a cooler basement gets less water out of the AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL.
Without a hose or a pump, someone has to carry out 3.1 gallons a day. Our sources don’t say whether the AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL has a bucket, or how much it holds.
