Our read
Who it suits
At 36 pints a day, the JD025L-120 fits a wet space under 2,000 sq ft, or a damp one over. Five other brands list models with the same EPA figures, so compare prices.
Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
A middle-of-the-pack power bill
Next to the median 29–44 pint model, this one costs $2 more to run in the United States over 11 years. That’s how long the DOE expects a portable to last. The thriftiest 29–44 pint model, the Deciuu LIBRA-RCS32(Y)-N4-3(B), would save $85 over those years.
The company that files it with the EPA lists six models under other brands with the same capacity, energy use, and efficiency. Among them are the Waykar JD025CE-120, Folanzy WTE120P-035T, and Kesnos JD025N-120. Compare their prices and warranties before you choose.
Wi-Fi app
You’ll check it in person
Like 78 other 29–44 pint models out of 87, the JD025L-120 has no Wi-Fi app on the EPA list. In a basement you rarely visit, plan to check it in person.
Pump and cold are the two blanks for the JD025L-120 in our sources. A pump matters when water can’t run down to a floor drain. Cold matters because below 65°F, ENERGY STAR says frost can form on the coils.
Uses 375 kWh a year, 1 kWh over the median of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32.
Tied for 45th of 87 certified 29–44 pint portables for low energy use.
Its efficiency, 2.01 liters per kWh, is 26% above the federal minimum for its capacity class.The DOE sets 1.60 L/kWh for portables rated over 25 and up to 50 pints a day. Every unit made since June 13, 2019, must meet it.
In the Fehom lineup, the next size down is the JD025L-80, at 25 pints. The next size up is the JD026L-150, at 49 pints.The bigger one uses 132 kWh a year more.
On the market since June 2025, newer than 22% of the 29–44 pint models on the list.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 1 of the 29–44 pint models.
The company that files it also files models under 11 other brands with the EPA, among them Deverse, Folanzy, and Gridr.
The nearest size from another brand is the Waykar JD025CE-120, rated 36 pints and 375 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the JD025L-120 pulls about 4.5 gallons of water from the air and uses about 8.4 kWh. That day costs $1.54 in the United States.
About 45 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 375 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.54.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the JD025L-120 pulls out less than 35.78 pints a day.
Those 4.5 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 JD025L-120 has.
