Does it make your power bill go up a lot null

It is difficult to say not knowing what your power bill is currently, or how hard the unit would need to work for the area you plan to use it in. I believe it's fair to say that if you do not have a dehumidifier now you would see an observable increase in your bill.

It uses about 650 watts. That's about 6.5 cents per hour if your electricity cost is 10 cents per killowatt-hour. Assume it runs 10 hours per day, then it costs 65 cents per day or about $20 per month.

I haven't seen any noticeable increase.

Not at all. I own two and they are very energy efficient with an automated run/stop at the humidity level you determine works best for your environment.

As much as a mini fridge depending upon how much it runs. Not very much.

We anticipate the electric bill going up slightly because dehumidifiers do draw a fair amount of power. We haven't yet received a bill, so I can't tell you how much.

I haven't noticed any big change in my bills. I've set to 45% humidity in auto mode and I think it does run a few hours everyday.
