What actually decides this purchase
We publish 33 units at 14,000 BTU. They run within $34 a year of each other — but they sell for $549 to $630, a 1.1× spread. Efficiency is not what decides this purchase at 14,000 BTU; price, noise and whether it fits your window are. Here is where this unit lands.
At $549 this is at or under the 14,000 BTU median of $554, which is the half of the decision that moves real money — every unit at this size runs within $34 a year of every other, so the efficiency ranking below is a tiebreak, not the argument. Worth comparing against the ELEMENT EHWR14BE at $549 and the Midea MAW14RV1CCWT at 41 dBA.

Fit & install — does it fit your window?
Efficiency & running cost — computed by Verified HVAC Data
Worth keeping in proportion: every unit in the 14,000 BTU class runs within $34 a year of every other. The gap between the cheapest and dearest to buy at this size is 2× larger. Efficiency is the smallest number on this page, which is why it is not at the top of it.
Refrigerant & identity
Brand, warranty & reliability
A massive vertically-integrated OEM that designs and builds its own compressors and competes aggressively on price, but it's a newer North American HVAC player with slower parts availability and a smaller network of factory-trained installers.
Reliability is our read of published brand assessments (source), not a certified rating — real-world dependability hinges on a correct install more than the brand. Warranty terms are the manufacturer's (policy) and almost always require online registration within 60–90 days for the full length.

Frequently asked questions
Is 14,000 BTU right for my room, or should I size up?
About 700 square feet is the guide figure, and 33 certified units sit on that shelf. The next shelf up is 15,000 BTU (7 units), about 700 sq ft. Below it, 13,000 BTU (5 units) covers about 550 sq ft. Between two shelves, take the smaller one: oversizing is the usual reason a unit cools but leaves the room clammy, which our sizing calculator explains.
Will the Hisense AW1422TW1W fit my window?
Measure your window opening first — it needs to be at least 19" wide (the cabinet width), and the unit is about 15" tall and 22" deep, roughly 59 lb. Most double-hung windows fit units in this range with the included side panels, but confirm your window's inside width and minimum height.

Annual running cost, suggested room size and the percentile are computed by Verified HVAC Data from published ratings and EIA U.S. average electricity prices — see our methodology.
