in the United States

A day of nonstop drying means 105 pints of water, about 13.1 gallons, for some 21.1 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the HCWHD#-130 costs $3.87 to run that day.

Thirty days like that would use about 634 kWh, or $116. That’s nonstop running at the test conditions. Once the house reaches its humidity setting, the unit shuts off.
