Out of curiosity, I checked out the Aprilaire units and they are made in the US and are Energy Star rated.

Keep in mind they are basically AC type units and use a fair amount of power.

I actually manually operate mine by running it full overnight and then turn it off in the morning rather than set the humidity level as I feel like it probably is more efficient if it doesn’t turn on and off.

I also run mine into a bucket even though I could run it in a drain because I like to know how much moisture I’m removing. I just pour the bucket into the washing machine!
