How efficient are NINGPU models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 42 NINGPU portable ACs, 4 file a higher CEER than the class median, 16 match it and 22 fall below it.

Window and room air conditioners

Of the 3 NINGPU window ACs, 2 file a higher CEER than the class median and 1 matches it.

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt.

Who makes NINGPU portable ACs and window ACs?

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.

NINGPU shares 21 units with 32 other brands. Its other 24 basic models are filed by NINGPU alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• NEPO17
• Antarctic Star7
• COWSAR7
• Electactic7
• KISSAIR7
• R.W.FLAME7
• ZAFRO7
• Auseo4
• Fornido4
• Joy Pebble4
• Kismile4
• KNDKO4
• Xbeauty4
• AIR CHOICE3
• GARVEE3
• LIFEPLUS3
• COSTWAY2
• WAA2
• AKIRES1
• AZ outdoor1
• Havato1
• KEGIAN1
• Landeagle1
• LHRIVER1

How much do NINGPU models cost to run?

While cooling, NINGPU portable ACs draw about 794 to 1,291 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 14¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $34.59 to $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is NINGPU NPP***-05C/X1E (5,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.3) and the highest NINGPU NPH-10C/X1E (10,200 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.9).

While cooling, NINGPU 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 NINGPU NCG***-06CI/X1E (6,200 BTU/h, CEER 15.1) and the highest NINGPU NCG***-08CI/X1E (8,100 BTU/h, CEER 16.3).

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 NINGPU

Is NINGPU a good portable AC brand?

How its 42 portable ACs compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. 18 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.

How big a room will a NINGPU portable AC cool?

Its models certify 5,000 to 10,200 BTU/h SACC, which ENERGY STAR's sizing chart puts at 150 to 450 sq ft. Every one was tested single hose. SACC and the BTU figure on the box.

Which NINGPU portable AC is the most efficient for its size?

NINGPU NPH-10C/X1E, NINGPU NPH-10C/X1E-W, NINGPU NPH-10H/X1E and 1 more tie at CEER 7.9: higher than 738 of the 1,044 single hose portable ACs certified to DOE. At the other end are NINGPU NPD-05C/X1E, NINGPU NPD1-05C/X1E, NINGPU NPD2-05C/X1E and 3 more, at CEER 6.1, higher than 7 of the 1,044 in its class.

Is NINGPU the same as NEPO?

For 17 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (NPL***-06C/X1E, NPL***-06C/X1E-W, NPL***-06H/X1E, NPL***-06H/X1E-W and 13 more). The other 28 NINGPU basic models aren't filed by NEPO.
