Our read
Who it suits
Rated 49 pints a day, the JD026L-150PM is sized for a wet space under 2,000 sq ft, or a very damp one over. Four 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
Running cost won’t decide it
The DOE puts a portable’s average life at 11 years. Over that time, this model costs $26 less to run in the United States than the median 45–50 pint model. The thriftiest 45–50 pint model, the Aeocky LEO PRO-RCS50(Y)-N4-3(B)-25, would save $139 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 JD026CE-150, Gridr D026B-50Pt3M-P, and Kesnos JD026N-150. Compare their prices and warranties before you choose.
Wi-Fi app
No app to watch it from upstairs
The EPA doesn’t list the JD026L-150PM as connected. Of the 156 certified 45–50 pint models, 14 are. In a crawl space you rarely open, a connected one saves the trip.
Ask for the pump lift and the lowest working temperature
Neither figure is in our sources for the JD026L-150PM. Without a floor drain below it, a pump has to lift the water to a sink. Basements run cool, and below 65°F, ENERGY STAR says frost can form on the coils.
Its 507 kWh a year is 13 kWh less than the median for its size.
Its refrigerant is R-32.
Of the 156 certified 45–50 pint portables, 31 use less energy, and 7 use exactly as much.
At 2.01 liters per kWh, it clears the federal minimum for its class by 26%.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.
Fehom’s next size down is the JD025L-120, rated 36 pints.That one uses 132 kWh a year less.
Sold since June 2025. Among 45–50 pint models, 13 of 156 came out earlier.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 8 of the 45–50 pint models.
The company that files it also files models under 11 other brands with the EPA, among them Deverse, Folanzy, and Gridr.
Another brand near this size: the Waykar JD026CE-150, at 49 pints and 507 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the JD026L-150PM pulls about 6.2 gallons of water from the air and uses about 11.6 kWh. That day costs $2.13 in the United States.
About 44 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 507 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $2.13.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the JD026L-150PM pulls out less than 49.47 pints a day.
Those 6.2 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 JD026L-150PM has.
