CUCKOO CAC-AH2810FNW

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the CUCKOO CAC-AH2810FNW consumes 388 kWh a year — about $73 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($6.09 a month). Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 162% more electricity than the median air purifier, ranked 204 of 214. The same unit costs $48 a year in North Dakota but $181 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. Note the certified pool here is small (214 models), so rankings shift more with each data refresh.
