Midea MAW14S1VWWT-T

The Midea MAW14S1VWWT-T is certified at 700 kWh per year (based on 750 standardized hours), roughly $132 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: 32% more electricity than the median room air conditioner, ranked 323 of 396. The same unit costs $86 a year in North Dakota but $326 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
