Our read
On the ENERGY STAR table, the DDR022BSWDB suits a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. For a very damp or wet one, the table asks for more. Its yearly energy use sits near the median, so weigh drainage, noise, and price.

| How damp the space is | Under 2,000 sq ft | Over 2,000 sq ft |

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
A portable lasts 11 years on average, by the DOE’s count. In that time, this model costs $16 less to run in the United States than the median 19–28 pint model. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $93 over those years.

No source we use gives a dB(A) figure for the DDR022BSWDB. For a bedroom or an office, ask the seller for one, and for the distance it was measured from.

in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 22.27 pints of water, about 2.8 gallons, for some 6.2 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the DDR022BSWDB costs $1.13 to run that day.
The EPA’s yearly estimate, 276 kWh, adds up to about 45 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $1.13.
Those 22.27 pints come from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. Cooler air at that humidity gives up less water, so expect fewer pints in a cold basement.
Every day at full output leaves 2.8 gallons to get rid of. Check how the DDR022BSWDB drains, since our sources don’t say.

276 kWh a year × the home electricity price of each state.
