LEVOIT LAP-C601S-WUS

The LEVOIT LAP-C601S-WUS's certified consumption is 387 kWh per year, which prices out to about $73 at the national average rate — your hours of use scale that directly. It sits near the bottom of the certified table — using 161% more than the median air purifier (rank 203 of 214) — so the state you live in matters more than usual. The same unit costs $48 a year in North Dakota but $180 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.
