Atmosphere Sky 120539

The Atmosphere Sky 120539's certified consumption is 298 kWh per year, which prices out to about $56 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 101% more than the median air purifier (rank 179 of 214) — so the state you live in matters more than usual.
