Gridr D026B-50Pt3M-P dehumidifier: specs and cost to run

Our read

Who it suits

On the ENERGY STAR table, the D026B-50Pt3M-P suits 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.

Running cost

Its power bill is close to the norm

A portable lasts 11 years on average, by the DOE’s count. In 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.

Same figures, other brand

Same EPA figures under four other brands

The company that files it with the EPA lists seven models under other brands with the same capacity, energy use, and efficiency. Among them are the Waykar JD026CE-150, Fehom JD026L-150, and Fehom JD026L-150PM. Compare their prices and warranties before you choose.

Wi-Fi app

You’ll check it in person

Like 141 other 45–50 pint models out of 156, the D026B-50Pt3M-P has no Wi-Fi app on the EPA list. In a basement you rarely visit, plan to check it in person.

Ask before you buy

Ask about the pump, and about the cold

Our sources don’t say whether the D026B-50Pt3M-P has a pump, or how cold it can run. With no drain lower than the unit, the pump lift must reach your sink. Under 65°F, ENERGY STAR says the coils can frost.

From the data

Where it stands

Uses 507 kWh a year, 13 kWh under the median of its class.
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.
Gridr’s only model on the EPA list.
Sold since April 2025. Among 45–50 pint models, 7 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, Fehom, and Folanzy.
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

A day of nonstop drying means 49.47 pints of water, about 6.2 gallons, for some 11.6 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the D026B-50Pt3M-P costs $2.13 to run that day.

The EPA’s yearly estimate, 507 kWh, adds up to about 44 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $2.13.

Those 49.47 pints come from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. Cooler air at that humidity gives up less water, so expect fewer pints in a cold basement.

Every day at full output leaves 6.2 gallons to get rid of. Check how the D026B-50Pt3M-P drains, since our sources don’t say.
