Hisense HD5026TLP dehumidifier: specs and cost to run

Our read

Who it suits

At 50 pints a day, the HD5026TLP 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.

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.

Wi-Fi app

You can check it from your phone

Of the 156 certified 45–50 pint models, only 14 have a Wi-Fi app, and the HD5026TLP is one. In a basement or crawl space you rarely visit, you read the humidity without going down.

Ask before you buy

Ask for the pump lift and the lowest working temperature

Pump and cold are the two blanks for the HD5026TLP 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.

From the data

Where it stands

At 526 kWh a year, it sits 6 kWh above the middle 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 November 2025, newer than 55% 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

Run for a whole day at its rating, the HD5026TLP removes 49.89 pints, about 6.2 gallons, on roughly 11.7 kWh. In the United States, that’s $2.15.

Divide the EPA’s 526 kWh a year by one full day’s use, and you get roughly 45 days. Past that, each day at full output adds $2.15 to the bill.

The DOE test behind those 49.89 pints runs at 65°F and 60% humidity. At the same humidity, a cooler basement gets less water out of the HD5026TLP.

Without a hose or a pump, someone has to carry out 6.2 gallons a day. Our sources don’t say whether the HD5026TLP has a bucket, or how much it holds.
