Hisense DH3526K1W dehumidifier: specs and cost to run

Our read

Who it suits

On the ENERGY STAR table, the DH3526K1W suits a wet space under 2,000 sq ft, or a damp one over. Its yearly energy use sits near the median, so weigh drainage, noise, and price.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.

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 $22 less to run in the United States than the median 29–44 pint model. The thriftiest 29–44 pint model, the Deciuu LIBRA-RCS32(Y)-N4-3(B), would save $60 over those years.

Wi-Fi app

You’ll check it in person

Like 78 other 29–44 pint models out of 87, the DH3526K1W 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 DH3526K1W 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

At 363 kWh a year, it sits 11 kWh below the middle of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
Among the 87 certified 29–44 pint portables, 30 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.
In the Hisense lineup, the next size down is the DH2526K1W, at 25 pints. The next size up is the HD5026TLP, at 50 pints.The bigger one uses 163 kWh a year more.
On the market since September 2025, newer than 41% of the 29–44 pint models on the list.
Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 1 of the 29–44 pint models.
The company that files it also files the Mora models with the EPA.
The GE ADSE35W**# is the closest size from another brand, rated 35 pints and 355 kWh a year.In the United States, this one costs $1 a year more to run.

in the United States

In 24 hours at full output, the DH3526K1W pulls about 4.4 gallons of water from the air and uses about 8.3 kWh. That day costs $1.52 in the United States.

About 44 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 363 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.52.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the DH3526K1W pulls out less than 35.32 pints a day.

Those 4.4 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 DH3526K1W has.
