The filings
DOE lists 3 individual model numbers under basic model AWT05M***1, filed under 3 brand names. Every filing lists the same figures: 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 370 W.
| Brand | Model numbers | BTU/h | CEER | Watts | Listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GE | AWT05M**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 370 | None matched |
| Hotpoint | HWH05M**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 370 | None matched |
| Vissani | VWT05M**** | 5,000 | 13.1 | 370 | None matched |
How we know it's one unit
Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, AWT05M***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 AWT05M***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 AWT05M***1.
How much does the AWT05M***1 cost to run?
DOE's record lists 370 W of electrical input while cooling. That's about 7¢ an hour, or $16.13 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 AWT05M***1, and is it the same under every brand?
- Who makes the Hotpoint HWH05M****?
- DOE's records don't say. The Hotpoint HWH05M**** is filed under basic model AWT05M***1 along with 2 other brands. No brand files AWT05M***1 itself as a model number, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
- Is the Hotpoint HWH05M**** the same as the GE AWT05M****?
- Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model AWT05M***1 and list the same certified figures: 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 370 W.
- Which brand of AWT05M***1 is cheapest to run?
- They tie: every brand files 5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1 and 370 W, so each costs about 7¢ an hour to run while cooling.
