Running cost
Among the thriftier 29–44 pint models
It uses 31 kWh a year less than the median 29–44 pint model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $62 saved in the United States.

Who it suits
On the ENERGY STAR table, the TPFIT32WK suits a wet space under 2,000 sq ft, or a damp one over. It’s one of the cheaper models of its size to run.
32 pints a day

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Wi-Fi app
Its humidity shows on your phone
The EPA lists the TPFIT32WK as connected, like 7 other 29–44 pint models out of 87. From your phone, you can check a crawl space or basement without going down.

Ask about the pump, and about the cold
Our sources don’t say whether the TPFIT32WK 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.
Plan the drainFrom the data
Where it stands
- Uses 343 kWh a year, 31 kWh under the median of its class.
- Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
- Of the 87 certified 29–44 pint portables, 16 use less energy, and 11 use exactly as much.
- At 2.01 liters per kWh, it clears the federal minimum for its class by 26%.The DOE sets 1.60 L/kWh for portables rated over 25 and up to 50 pints a day. Every unit made since June 13, 2019, must meet it.
- Honeywell also makes it smaller, the TPFIT25AWK at 24 pints, and bigger, the TPFIT50AWK at 50 pints.The bigger one uses 173 kWh a year more.
- Sold since March 2026. Among 29–44 pint models, 70 of 87 came out earlier.
- 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 Quilo models with the EPA.
- Another brand near this size: the hOmeLabs HME0089, at 32 pints and 343 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the TPFIT32WK pulls about 4.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 7.6 kWh. That day costs $1.40 in the United States.
About 45 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 343 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.40.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the TPFIT32WK pulls out less than 32.46 pints a day.
Those 4.1 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 TPFIT32WK has.
