in the United States

A day of nonstop drying means 65 pints of water, about 8.1 gallons, for some 13.7 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the Admiral W160 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.
