Hisense WCT06W25A
The Hisense WCT06W25A is certified at 329 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $62 at the national average — though seasonal use means your real bill lands in a few months, not twelve. Only a handful of certified room air conditioners do better: it ranks 16 of 396 and undercuts the median by 38%. The same unit costs $41 a year in North Dakota but $153 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
