How we know it's one unit

Every brand here filed its model numbers under the same DOE basic model, NCG-08HI/X1E-W. 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. All 8 brands file NCG-08HI/X1E-W itself as their model number, so the number alone doesn't say which of them builds it.

Brands may still differ in color, controls, accessories, warranty and support. Full record and every model number: KISSAIR NCG-08HI/X1E-W.

How much does the NCG-08HI/X1E-W cost to run?

DOE's record lists 610 W of electrical input while cooling. That's about 11¢ an hour, or $26.59 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 NCG-08HI/X1E-W, and is it the same under every brand?

Who makes the ZAFRO 54091EWA1-8K-ZA?
DOE's records don't say. The ZAFRO 54091EWA1-8K-ZA is filed under basic model NCG-08HI/X1E-W along with 7 other brands. All of them file that same number as their model, and DOE's database has no manufacturer field.
Is the ZAFRO 54091EWA1-8K-ZA the same as the KISSAIR 54091EWA1-8K-KA?
Yes, by DOE's records. Both are filed under basic model NCG-08HI/X1E-W and list the same certified figures: 8,100 BTU/h, CEER 15.1 and 610 W.
Which brand of NCG-08HI/X1E-W is cheapest to run?
They tie: every brand files 8,100 BTU/h, CEER 15.1 and 610 W, so each costs about 11¢ an hour to run while cooling.
