Good to know
The EPA figure assumes 283 loads a year on the normal cycle. Cleaning the lint filter every load and drying full loads keeps real use close to it.

Total cost context

Running cost is one part of what an appliance costs you. Purchase price, delivery, installation, repairs and how long it lasts are not included here, and we do not track prices. A model that is cheapest to run is not always the best value. Try the replacement calculator to see operating savings against your current appliance.
