Our read

Who it suits

On the ENERGY STAR table, the H25D44W suits a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a very damp or 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

Its power bill is close to the norm

A portable lasts 11 years on average, by the DOE’s count. In that time, this model costs $14 more to run in the United States than the median 19–28 pint model. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $123 over those years.

Wi-Fi app

You can check it from your phone

Of the 155 certified 19–28 pint models, only 10 have a Wi-Fi app, the H25D44W among them. You can change the setting from another room.

Ask before you buy

Ask for a noise figure

Our sources publish no noise level for the H25D44W. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.

From the data

Where it stands

  • Its 291 kWh a year is 7 kWh more than the median for its size.
  • Its refrigerant is R-32.
  • Among the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 130 use less energy.
  • The federal floor for its class is 1.30 liters per kWh. It reaches 1.70, or 31% more.That floor covers portables rated 25 pints a day or less, for units made since June 13, 2019.
  • TCL’s next size up is the T25DC9R, rated 25 pints.That one uses 8 kWh a year less.
  • Sold since February 2025. Among 19–28 pint models, 12 of 155 came out earlier.
  • Not on the EPA’s Most Efficient list, which names 31 of the 19–28 pint models.
  • The hOmeLabs HME0088 is the closest size from another brand, rated 24 pints and 291 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

in the United States

A day of nonstop drying means 24.48 pints of water, about 3.1 gallons, for some 6.8 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the H25D44W costs $1.25 to run that day.

The EPA’s yearly estimate, 291 kWh, adds up to about 43 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $1.25.

Those 24.48 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 3.1 gallons to get rid of. Check how the H25D44W drains, since our sources don’t say.
