Hisense AW2223TW3W

The Hisense AW2223TW3W is certified at 1,100 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $207 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Even among certified models it's on the thirsty end: 107% more electricity than the median room air conditioner, ranked 365 of 396. The same unit costs $136 a year in North Dakota but $513 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
