AIRMEGA AP-1125G

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the AIRMEGA AP-1125G consumes 195 kWh a year — about $36 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($2.98 a month). That's close to the middle of the certified pack — about 32% above the median air purifier, ranked 134 of 225. The same unit costs $26 a year in Nevada but $103 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. Note the certified pool here is small (225 models), so rankings shift more with each data refresh.
