Model
Blomberg DHP24404W
Rank #28 means 27 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 94th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 94% of those models.
What does the Blomberg DHP24404W cost to run per year?
Almost nothing we track in this class costs less to run than the Blomberg DHP24404W: about $40 a year, rank #28 of 615. Adjusted for its cef, it is more efficient than 94% of clothes dryer models we track, a strong result once size is taken into account. The CEF figure of 11 on this model captures combined energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Beko HPD24414W at $40/yr runs a little cheaper and the Blomberg DHP24404W3 at $40/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 Blomberg DHP24404W's $40/yr adds up to roughly $520 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Beko HPD24414W.
By the numbers
The Blomberg DHP24404W 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 $40/yr, here is what the Blomberg DHP24404W adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Blomberg DHP24404W costs about $400. That is roughly $730 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Blomberg DHP24404W compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $40/yr, it runs about $73 a year cheaper than the class median of $113, and it is about $17 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 4.5 cu ft, the Blomberg DHP24404W 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. Beyond size, its CEF of 11, above the class median of 3.93, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, combined energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- 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 Blomberg DHP24404W cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $40 a year it ranks #28 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Blomberg DHP24404W cost per month?
Roughly $3.36/mo, spreading the $40/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 217 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $40 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Blomberg DHP24404W for its size?
94th 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.
