Our read
At 24 pints a day, the AFD1.5D fits a damp space under 2,000 sq ft. For a very damp or wet one, the table asks for more. Three other brands list models with the same EPA figures, so compare prices.

Capacity suggested for each case, read Oct 5, 2026. ENERGY STAR adds that it’s better to oversize than undersize.
Running cost
Next to the median 19–28 pint model, this one costs $12 more to run in the United States over 11 years. That’s how long the DOE expects a portable to last. The thriftiest 19–28 pint model, the Knka PD30MA-20, would save $121 over those years.
How long dehumidifiers lastSame figures, other brand
The company that files it with the EPA lists the Fehom AHR1.5D, Kesnos AKE1.5D, and Yaufey AYD1.5D with the same capacity, energy use, and efficiency. Compare their prices and warranties before you choose.
Ask before you buy
No source we use gives a dB(A) figure for the AFD1.5D. For a bedroom or an office, ask the seller for one, and for the distance it was measured from.

Cost
$1.16
in the United States
In 24 hours at full output, the AFD1.5D pulls about 3 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.3 kWh. That day costs $1.16 in the United States.
About 46 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 290 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.16.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the AFD1.5D pulls out less than 24 pints a day.
Those 3 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 AFD1.5D has.
Running cost
290 kWh a year × the home electricity price of each state.
