CUCKOO CAC-F3010FW

At the standardized usage ENERGY STAR assumes, the CUCKOO CAC-F3010FW consumes 406 kWh a year — about $76 at the U.S. average electricity rate ($6.37 a month). Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 174% more electricity than the median air purifier, ranked 211 of 214. The same unit costs $50 a year in North Dakota but $189 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.
