Questions

What people ask about these two brands

Each answer comes from the EPA list, with its date.

Ask us a question
Are Hisense and Frigidaire the same company?

No. On the EPA list, Hisense models are filed by Hisense (Guangdong) Air Conditioning and Frigidaire models by Electrolux Consumer Products.

EPA list, Oct 15, 2026
Which one is more efficient?

Hisense, by the highest rating: IEF 2.01 liters per kWh (ADH35K26). Hisense ranges 1.70 to 2.01, Frigidaire ranges 1.70 to 2.01. At the same size, a higher IEF means less power for the same water removed.

EPA list, Oct 15, 2026
Which one costs less to run?

It depends on the size. In the pairs above, at about 25 pints, the Frigidaire FHDD2234W1 uses 283 kWh a year, against 314. The Hisense DH3526K1W leads at about 35 pints, with 363 kWh against 379. At 50 pints, 520 kWh against 526 is a gap under 2%. The reasons at the top compare each brand’s thriftiest model.
