Antarctic Star: 73 DOE certified models

Antarctic Star has 73 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 66 portable ACs (5,000 to 12,000 BTU/h SACC), 3 window ACs (6,200 to 8,100 BTU/h) and 4 dehumidifiers (24.83 to 49.86 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test). 65 are the same unit as models filed under other brands. How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.

Highest certified cooling capacity among its portable ACs: Antarctic Star 90038EAC0-12K-AS, Antarctic Star 90038EAC0-12K-ASZ, Antarctic Star A9092R-12K and 1 more tie at 12,000 BTU/h SACC.
Most efficient for its class: Antarctic Star OL-A018DD10N3BP/S, CEER 12, higher than 1,035 of the 1,044 single hose portable ACs certified to DOE.
Highest certified cooling capacity among its window ACs: Antarctic Star 54091EWA0-8K-AS and Antarctic Star 54091EWA1-8K-AS tie at 8,100 BTU/h.
Most efficient for its class: Antarctic Star 54091EWA0-8K-AS, CEER 16.3, higher than 102 of the 105 in its DOE class (window ACs, 8,000 to 13,999 BTU/h).
Highest certified water removal among its dehumidifiers: Antarctic Star D026W-50Pt3M at 49.86 pints/day.

Who makes Antarctic Star portable ACs, window ACs and dehumidifiers?

DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.

Antarctic Star shares 65 units with 43 other brands. Its other 8 basic models are filed by Antarctic Star alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

Antarctic Star units filed under one DOE basic model with other brands, 12 of 65. DOE data as of 2026-11-03.

How much do Antarctic Star models cost to run?

While cooling, Antarctic Star portable ACs draw about 696 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 13¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $30.32 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Antarctic Star 90045EAC0-8K-AS (8,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 11.5) and the highest Antarctic Star A5410CE (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

While cooling, Antarctic Star window ACs draw about 460 to 610 W (DOE's listed power input). That's 8¢ to 11¢ an hour, or $20.05 to $26.59 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Antarctic Star 54091EWA0-6K-AS (6,200 BTU/h, CEER 15.1) and the highest Antarctic Star 54091EWA0-8K-AS (8,100 BTU/h, CEER 16.3).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 4 Antarctic Star dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.91 to 11.71 kWh a day. That's about $1.26 to $2.13 a day, or $37.65 to $63.79 for 30 days. The lowest is Antarctic Star 75025EDE0-WHITE-EL (24.83 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest Antarctic Star 75026EDE0-WHITE-EL (49.74 pints/day, IEF 2.01).

Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so the dehumidifier figures are the upper end for a day of nonstop running.

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Questions about Antarctic Star

Is Antarctic Star a good dehumidifier brand?: How its 4 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 4 of them are the same unit as another brand's model. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
Does Antarctic Star make a 50 pint dehumidifier?: Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 2 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Antarctic Star D026W-50Pt3M at 49.86 pints/day. By DOE class: 1 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 3 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
Which Antarctic Star dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?: Antarctic Star D026W-50Pt3M, at IEF 2.2: higher than 293 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is Antarctic Star 75025EDE0-WHITE-EL, at IEF 1.7, higher than 94 of the 253 in its class.
Is Antarctic Star the same as ZAFRO?: For 62 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (A010L-8K, A011D2-10K, A011E-8K, A4208K-WHITE and 58 more). The other 11 Antarctic Star basic models aren't filed by ZAFRO.
