CleanForce CP-Rainbow

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the CleanForce CP-Rainbow consumes 309 kWh a year — about $57 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($4.72 a month). Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 109% more electricity than the median air purifier, ranked 191 of 225. The same unit costs $41 a year in Nevada but $163 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.
