in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 64.17 pints of water, about 8 gallons, for some 13.7 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the DHM090R4000 costs $2.50 to run that day.
Thirty days like that would use about 410 kWh, or $75. That’s nonstop running at the test conditions. Once the house reaches its humidity setting, the unit shuts off.
