Our read
Who it suits
At 49 pints a day, the JD026N-150 fits a wet space under 2,000 sq ft, or a very damp one over. Four other brands list models with the same EPA figures, so compare prices.
Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
A middle-of-the-pack power bill
Next to the median 45–50 pint model, this one costs $26 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 $139 over those years.
The company that files it with the EPA lists seven models under other brands with the same capacity, energy use, and efficiency. Among them are the Waykar JD026CE-150, Fehom JD026L-150, and Fehom JD026L-150PM. Compare their prices and warranties before you choose.
Wi-Fi app
No app to watch it from upstairs
The EPA doesn’t list the JD026N-150 as connected. Of the 156 certified 45–50 pint models, 14 are. In a crawl space you rarely open, a connected one saves the trip.
Ask for the pump lift and the lowest working temperature
Pump and cold are the two blanks for the JD026N-150 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.
At 507 kWh a year, it sits 13 kWh below the middle of its class.
Its refrigerant is R-32.
Among the 156 certified 45–50 pint portables, 31 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 Kesnos name. Next down is the JD025N-120, at 36 pints.That one uses 132 kWh a year less.
On the market since June 2025, newer than 8% 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 models under 11 other brands with the EPA, among them Deverse, Fehom, and Folanzy.
The Waykar JD026CE-150 is the closest size from another brand, rated 49 pints and 507 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 49.47 pints of water, about 6.2 gallons, for some 11.6 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the JD026N-150 costs $2.13 to run that day.
The EPA’s yearly estimate, 507 kWh, adds up to about 44 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $2.13.
Those 49.47 pints come from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. Cooler air at that humidity gives up less water, so expect fewer pints in a cold basement.
Every day at full output leaves 6.2 gallons to get rid of. Check how the JD026N-150 drains, since our sources don’t say.
