Our read
At 9 pints a day, the UDH0125 sits below the smallest size in the ENERGY STAR table. That size is 20 pints, for a damp room under 2,000 sq ft. 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.
Running cost
It uses 12 kWh a year less than the median 13-pint and smaller model. Over 11 years, the DOE’s average life for a portable, that’s about $24 saved in the United States.

in the United States
A day of nonstop drying means 9 pints of water, about 1.1 gallons, for some 2.2 kWh. At the average home electricity price in the United States, the UDH0125 costs $0.41 to run that day.
The EPA’s yearly estimate, 105 kWh, adds up to about 47 days like that. Each extra day at full output costs another $0.41.
Those 9 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 1.1 gallons to get rid of. Check how the UDH0125 drains, since our sources don’t say.
