Honeywell TPFIT50APWK dehumidifier: specs and cost to run

Our read

Who it suits

At 50 pints a day, the TPFIT50APWK fits every space in the ENERGY STAR table, wet ones over 2,000 sq ft included. Its running cost is close to the median, so drainage, noise, and price matter more.

Running cost

A middle-of-the-pack power bill

Next to the median 45–50 pint model, this one costs $8 less 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 $157 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 TPFIT50APWK 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 TPFIT50APWK 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

Uses 516 kWh a year, 4 kWh under the median of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
Of the 156 certified 45–50 pint portables, 59 use less energy, and 14 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.
The largest portable certified under the Honeywell name. Next down is the TPFIT32AWK, at 32 pints.That one uses 173 kWh a year less.
On the market since March 2026, newer than 77% 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 Quilo models with the EPA.
Another brand near this size: the TCL H50D44W, at 50 pints and 516 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States

In 24 hours at full output, the TPFIT50APWK pulls about 6.2 gallons of water from the air and uses about 11.7 kWh. That day costs $2.14 in the United States.

About 44 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 516 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $2.14.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the TPFIT50APWK pulls out less than 49.66 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 TPFIT50APWK has.
