The filings
DOE lists 3 individual model numbers under basic model AWT05E***1, filed under 3 brand names. Every filing lists the same figures: 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 530 W.
| Brand | Model numbers | BTU/h | CEER | Watts | Listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GE | AWT05E**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 530 | None matched |
| Hotpoint | HWH05E**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 530 | None matched |
| Vissani | VWT05E**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 530 | None matched |
How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, AWT05E***1. DOE's definition of a basic model (10 CFR 430.2) covers "all units of a given type of covered product (or class thereof) manufactured by one manufacturer" with "the same primary energy source" and nearly identical "electrical, physical, and functional (or hydraulic) characteristics that affect energy consumption, energy efficiency, water consumption, or water efficiency." So one set of DOE figures covers every name on the list. No brand files AWT05E***1 itself as a model number. It's the code DOE uses to tie their filings together.
Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: GE AWT05E***1.
How much does the AWT05E***1 cost to run?
DOE's record lists 530 W of electrical input while cooling. That's about 10¢ an hour, or $23.10 for 30 days at 8 hours a day.
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.

Who makes the AWT05E***1, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Hotpoint HWH05E****?
- DOE's records don't say. The Hotpoint HWH05E**** is filed under basic model AWT05E***1 along with 2 other brands. No brand files AWT05E***1 itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the Hotpoint HWH05E**** the same as the GE AWT05E****?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model AWT05E***1 and list the same certified figures: 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 530 W.
- Which brand of AWT05E***1 is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 530 W, so each costs about 10¢ an hour to run while cooling.
