Our read
Who it suits
Rated 25 pints a day, the ADSE25W**# is sized for a very damp space under 2,000 sq ft. For a wet one, the table asks for more. It uses more power than most models its size.
Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
Costs more to run than most 19–28 pint models
It uses 21 kWh a year more than the median 19–28 pint model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $42 extra in the United States. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would cost $151 less.
No source we use gives a dB(A) figure for the ADSE25W**#. For a bedroom or an office, ask the seller for one, and for the distance it was measured from.
Its 305 kWh a year is 21 kWh more than the median for its size.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.

In 24 hours at full output, the ADSE25W**# pulls about 3.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.9 kWh. That day costs $1.26 in the United States.
About 44 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 305 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.26.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the ADSE25W**# pulls out less than 24.71 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 ADSE25W**# has.
