LEVOIT Core 400S
The LEVOIT Core 400S's certified consumption is 237 kWh per year, which prices out to about $43 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. That's close to the middle of the certified pack — about 60% above the median air purifier, ranked 163 of 225. The same unit costs $31 a year in Nevada but $125 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.
