How much does the AIR CHOICE NPH-10H/X1E cost to run?

About 23¢ an hour of cooling, or $56.27 for 30 days at 8 hours a day (less once the compressor cycles off).

10,200 BTU/h SACC divided by a CEER of 7.9 is about 1,291 W while cooling. Electricity at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Each 1¢/kWh you pay above or below 18.16¢ moves the 8 hour figure by 10¢.

How does the AIR CHOICE NPH-10H/X1E rank in its DOE class?

In its DOE class (single hose portable ACs), 171 models have a matched Amazon listing. Its CEER of 7.9 is tied for 18th of the 171, and 8% above their median of 7.3. On cost, the same 10,200 BTU/h at their median CEER would cost about $60.90 for 30 days at 8 hours, $4.63 more than this one.

Questions

What is the AIR CHOICE NPH-10H/X1E's real BTU?
It's certified to DOE at 10,200 BTU/h SACC (seasonally adjusted cooling capacity), the rating DOE requires for portable ACs. A box figure labeled ASHRAE is usually higher for the same unit because it comes from a different test: SACC vs ASHRAE.
Is it single hose or dual hose?
It was tested as a single hose unit, per the DOE record.
How big a room does it cool?
About 450 sq ft. ENERGY STAR's sizing chart calls for 10,000 BTU/h in rooms up to 450 sq ft. A sunny room, a kitchen or a high ceiling needs more.
How much does the AIR CHOICE NPH-10H/X1E cost to run for 8 hours?
About $1.88 for 8 hours of cooling: roughly 1,291 W at 18.16¢/kWh, the US residential average for August 2026 (EIA).
Who makes the AIR CHOICE NPH-10H/X1E?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the record doesn't say. It does show 10 brands filing one basic model, NPH-10H/X1E: AIR CHOICE, AKIRES, Uthfy and 7 more.
