Our read
At 27 pints a day, the MDUDA-25AEN8-BB0F fits a very damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a wet one. Its running cost is close to the median, so drainage, noise, and price matter more.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
Next to the median 19–28 pint model, this one costs $2 less to run in the United States over 11 years. That’s how long the DOE expects a portable to last. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $107 over those years.

in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 26.87 pints of water, about 3.4 gallons, for some 6.3 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the MDUDA-25AEN8-BB0F costs $1.16 to run that day.
The EPA’s yearly estimate, 283 kWh, adds up to about 45 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $1.16.
Those 26.87 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 3.4 gallons to get rid of. Check how the MDUDA-25AEN8-BB0F drains, since our sources don’t say.
Running cost
283 kWh a year × the home electricity price of each state.
