The idea is to allow the purchaser of commercial dehumidifier and restoration dehumidification equipment to see how much it cost to purchase different models of dehumidifiers on a cost per pint.   The cost per pint is taken from the formula of DELIVERED COST OF UNIT DIVIDED BY AHAM RATING = COST PER PINT TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT. Naturally the return on investment (ROI) will be faster on units with a lower cost per pint.  Please note that this page is a work in progress and prices change, specifications change, and all units are not listed.  This page was updated 06/27/2018.

Please note that cost per pint might not be your only means of comparing equipment.  You might also be interested in the just the delivered price, weight, the amp draw, and whether or not you can control the Relative Humidity (RH) on the control panel, and dryness of outbound air (RH%) so we have listed this information too.

Please note prices subject to change without notice.  Please check the individual web pages for most current prices.

In summary you will notice that the ability to control the RH does drive the cost of the unit up.

Winners:

• Least delivered price to the door = Aone-70L
• Cheapest LGR (Low Grain Refrigeration with 16% outbound air) = AOne-70L
• Least cost per pint of water removal or fastest possible return on investment = AOne-70L
• Lightest unit and easiest to lift an and out of your truck = Drieaz F413 Revolution but you will need to bring your own dolly.
• Lightest unit with wheel on the unit (no need to bring a dolly) = Drieaz 1200
• Largest water removal = DriEaz 3500i 
• Lowest Amp draw and the least to operate over a the longest period = Drieaz Evolution
• Least cost per pint water removal with built in humidistat = AOne-70L
• Easiest to service and clean = 3500i
• Largest water removal but can still be double boxed and Fedex/ UPS shippable (no pallet/skid LTL trucking required) = AOne-70L
