Our read
Who it suits
At 25 pints a day, the TDW80B fits a very damp space under 2,000 sq ft. It’s too small for a 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
A middle-of-the-pack power bill
Next to the median 19–28 pint model, this one costs $6 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 $115 over those years.
Our sources publish no noise level for the TDW80B. If it runs where you sleep or work, ask for a figure in dB(A), with the distance it was measured from.
Its 287 kWh a year is 3 kWh more than the median for its size.
Its refrigerant is R-32, flagged as lower GWP.Global warming potential 675.

Tied for 111th of 155 certified 19–28 pint portables for low energy use.
Its efficiency, 1.85 liters per kWh, is 42% above the federal minimum for its capacity class.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 Waykar lineup, the next size down is the CTH80A, at 24 pints. The next size up is the CTH120A, at 32 pints.The bigger one uses 56 kWh a year more.
On the market since September 2026, newer than 97% of the 19–28 pint models on the list.Certified in September 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 company that files it also files models under 7 other brands with the EPA, among them Aeocky, Deciuu, and Easykey.
The nearest size from another brand is the Aeocky CS25YA8N7F3(HUMMIGO-25US), rated 25 pints and 287 kWh a year.Both cost the same to run in the United States.

In 24 hours at full output, the TDW80B pulls about 3.1 gallons of water from the air and uses about 6.3 kWh. That day costs $1.15 in the United States.
About 46 such days make up the EPA’s yearly estimate of 287 kWh. If yours runs at full output more often, every extra day adds $1.15.
Its rating comes from a DOE test at 65°F and 60% humidity. In cooler air at that humidity, the TDW80B pulls out less than 24.66 pints a day.
Those 3.1 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 TDW80B has.
