Our read
Who it suits
At 50 pints a day, the ALDH50KP26 fits every space in the ENERGY STAR table, wet ones over 2,000 sq ft included. Mora lists a model 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 45–50 pint model, this one costs $12 more to run in the United States over 11 years. That’s how long the DOE expects a portable to last. The thriftiest 45–50 pint model, the Aeocky LEO PRO-RCS50(Y)-N4-3(B)-25, would save $177 over those years.
The company that files it with the EPA lists the Mora MNDH50TP with the same capacity, energy use, and efficiency. Check both prices, and both warranties, before you buy.
Wi-Fi app
You’ll check it in person
Like 141 other 45–50 pint models out of 156, the ALDH50KP26 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 ALDH50KP26 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 526 kWh a year, 6 kWh over the median of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
Among the 156 certified 45–50 pint portables, 119 use less energy.
The federal floor for its class is 1.60 liters per kWh. It reaches 2.01, or 26% more.That floor covers portables rated over 25 and up to 50 pints a day, for units made since June 13, 2019.
The largest portable certified under the Hisense name. Next down is the DH3526K1W, at 35 pints.That one uses 163 kWh a year less.
On the market since January 2026, newer than 69% of the 45–50 pint models on the list.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 8 of the 45–50 pint models.
The company that files it also files the Mora models with the EPA.
The Mora MNDH50TP is the closest size from another brand, rated 50 pints and 526 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the ALDH50KP26 pulls about 6.2 gallons of water from the air and uses about 11.7 kWh. That day costs $2.15 in the United States.
About 45 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 526 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $2.15.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the ALDH50KP26 pulls out less than 49.89 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 ALDH50KP26 has.
