Running cost
Cheaper to run than most 19–28 pint models
It uses 28 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 $56 saved in the United States.

Who it suits
Rated 25 pints a day, the DYD-P30 is sized for 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.

Ask before you buy
Ask for a noise figure
Our sources publish no noise level for the DYD-P30. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.

Where it stands
- Uses 256 kWh a year, 28 kWh under the median of its class.
- Refrigerant not published.
- No Wi-Fi app.Not listed as connected.
- Among the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 6 use less energy.
- The federal floor for its class is 1.30 liters per kWh. It reaches 2.03, or 56% more.That floor covers portables rated 25 pints a day or less, for units made since June 13, 2019.
- The largest portable certified under the Deye name. Next down is the DYD-A10, at 11 pints.That one uses 124 kWh a year less.
- On the market since May 2026, newer than 83% of the 19–28 pint models on the list.Certified in June 2026, one of the 97 models certified in the last six months.
- On the EPA’s Most Efficient list, like 30 other 19–28 pint models.
- The Concetta AS-CSJ72XK-5WT-OL is the closest size from another brand, rated 25 pints and 257 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the DYD-P30 pulls about 3.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 5.8 kWh. That day costs $1.07 in the United States.
About 44 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 256 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.07.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the DYD-P30 pulls out less than 25 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 DYD-P30 has.
