Questions people ask

How much does a washing machine cost to run per year?

On the EU register, the typical model in the most common group (washing machines, 8 kg) uses 103 kWh a year at 220 washes a year, the basis of the previous EU label. At 0.283 €/kWh that is about €29 a year.

What does “kWh per 100 cycles” on the label mean?

Since 2021 the label states the energy for 100 washes on the eco 40-60 programme instead of a yearly figure. We convert it with the number of washes you set; hotter or quicker programmes use more.

Does a bigger drum use more electricity?

Per wash usually yes, per kilogram of laundry often less. A large machine only saves if you fill it; half loads in a 10 kg drum cost more than full loads in a 7 kg one.
