Running cost
Among the thriftier 19–28 pint models
It uses 17 kWh a year less than the median 19–28 pint model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $34 saved in the United States.

Who it suits
On the ENERGY STAR table, the D076A suits a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. For a very damp or wet one, the table asks for more. It’s one of the cheaper models of its size to run.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.

Ask how loud it is
No source we use gives a dB(A) figure for the D076A. For a bedroom or an office, ask the seller for one, and for the distance it was measured from.
Quiet dehumidifier guideFrom the data
Where it stands
- Uses 267 kWh a year, 17 kWh under the median of its class.
- Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
- No Wi-Fi app.Not listed as connected.
- Among the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 13 use less energy.
- The federal floor for its class is 1.30 liters per kWh. It reaches 1.95, or 50% more.That floor covers portables rated 25 pints a day or less, for units made since June 13, 2019.
- Nypeak’s only model on the EPA list.
- On the market since May 2026, newer than 81% of the 19–28 pint models on the list.Certified in May 2026, one of the 97 models certified in the last six months.
- On the EPA’s Most Efficient list, like 30 other 19–28 pint models.
- The Bufanli OL22-D076FFN3B1/FE is the closest size from another brand, rated 22 pints and 267 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States
Run for a whole day at its rating, the D076A removes 22 pints, about 2.8 gallons, on roughly 5.3 kWh. In the United States, that’s $0.98.
Divide the EPA’s 267 kWh a year by one full day’s use, and you get roughly 50 days. Past that, each day at full output adds $0.98 to the bill.
The DOE test behind those 22 pints runs at 65°F and 60% humidity. At the same humidity, a cooler basement gets less water out of the D076A.
Without a hose or a pump, someone has to carry out 2.8 gallons a day. Our sources don’t say whether the D076A has a bucket, or how much it holds.
