Our read
Who it suits
Rated 25 pints a day, the LIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 is sized for a very damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a wet one. Its running cost is close to the median, so drainage, noise, and price matter more.
Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
Running cost won’t decide it
It uses 284 kWh a year, the median for 19–28 pint models. The thriftiest of its size, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $109 in the United States over 11 years. That’s the DOE’s average life for a portable.
Of the 155 certified 19–28 pint models, only 10 have a Wi-Fi app, the LIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 among them. You can change the setting from another room.

In 24 hours at full output, the LIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 pulls about 3.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.2 kWh. That day costs $1.14 in the United States.
About 46 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 284 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.14.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the LIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 pulls out less than 24.72 pints a day.
Those 3.1 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 LIBRA-RCS25(Y)-N4-3(B)-25 has.
