CUCKOO CAC-D2020FW

The CUCKOO CAC-D2020FW's certified consumption is 316 kWh per year, which prices out to about $60 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 114% more electricity than the median air purifier, ranked 185 of 214. The same unit costs $39 a year in North Dakota but $147 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.
