Frigidaire FHWW125WE1

The Frigidaire FHWW125WE1 is certified at 600 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $110 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Efficiency-wise it's unremarkable in a good way: within 13% of the median certified room air conditioner (rank 263 of 439). The same unit costs $79 a year in Nevada but $316 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
