Model
Asko T411HS.W.U
Rank #46 means 45 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 92nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 92% of those models.
What does the Asko T411HS.W.U cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Asko T411HS.W.U's $49/yr puts it at rank #46 of 615, one of the more affordable clothes dryer models we track to keep running. Normalized for capacity, it ranks ahead of 92% of clothes dryer models we track on efficiency, a genuinely strong showing. Its CEF of 9.1 reflects combined energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Lg DLHC8402* at $48/yr runs a little cheaper and the Samsung DV45DG60**H* at $49/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A clothes dryer typically stays in service for somewhere around 13 years; over that span, the Asko T411HS.W.U's $49/yr adds up to roughly $637 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Asko T411HS.W.U normalized against its whole class, so each figure means something.
What it costs you over time
Running cost is an every-year number, so it compounds. At $49/yr, here is what the Asko T411HS.W.U adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Asko T411HS.W.U costs about $490. That is roughly $640 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Asko T411HS.W.U compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $49/yr, it runs about $64 a year cheaper than the class median of $113, and it is about $26 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 4.9 cu ft, the Asko T411HS.W.U is a small clothes dryer for its class, which spans 3.8 to 9.2 cu ft with a median of 7.4 cu ft, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture. The CEF of 9.1 on this model, above the class median of 3.93, measures combined energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's CEF if capacity is similar.
- Heat source and Combined Energy Factor (CEF). CEF combines drying performance with standby and off-mode energy use; for a given drum size, a higher CEF means less energy per pound of laundry dried, and heat-pump models usually post the highest figures in the class.
- Drum capacity. Drum capacity sets how much laundry one cycle can hold, and heating a bigger volume of air generally costs more energy per cycle.
Common questions
Is the Asko T411HS.W.U cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $49 a year it ranks #46 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Asko T411HS.W.U cost per month?
Roughly $4.07/mo, spreading the $49/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 263 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $49 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Asko T411HS.W.U for its size?
92nd percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
