Vellgoo TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 dehumidifier: specs and cost

Our read

Who it suits

On the ENERGY STAR table, the TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 suits a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a very damp or wet one. Aeocky lists a model with the same EPA figures, so compare prices.

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 $6 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 $115 over those years.

Ask for a noise figure

Our sources publish no noise level for the TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.

Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.
No Wi-Fi app.Not listed as connected.
Of the 155 certified 19–28 pint portables, 110 use less energy, and 4 use exactly as much.
At 1.75 liters per kWh, it clears the federal minimum for its class by 35%.The DOE sets 1.30 L/kWh for portables rated 25 pints a day or less. Every unit made since June 13, 2019, must meet it.

in the United States

In 24 hours at full output, the TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 pulls about 2.8 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.1 kWh. That day costs $1.11 in the United States.

About 47 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 287 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.11.

Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 pulls out less than 22.5 pints a day.

Those 2.8 gallons need a way out: a hose to a drain, a pump, or a bucket you empty. Our sources don’t say which ones the TAURUS-RCS25(Y)-N4-3 has.
