Model
Ge GTD69EBPYWR
Rank #299 means 298 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 50th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 50% of those models.
What does the Ge GTD69EBPYWR cost to run per year?
Ranking #299 of 615, the Ge GTD69EBPYWR runs at roughly $113 a year, neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its class. Normalized for capacity, it beats 50% of clothes dryer models we track, an average result for the class. The CEF figure of 3.93 on this model captures combined energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Ge GTD68EBMRDG at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MLHE52S7AGG at $113/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 Ge GTD69EBPYWR's $113/yr adds up to roughly $1469 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Amana NED5800H**.
By the numbers
The Ge GTD69EBPYWR 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 $113/yr, here is what the Ge GTD69EBPYWR adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ge GTD69EBPYWR costs about $1130. That is roughly $0 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Ge GTD69EBPYWR compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $113/yr, it sits right on the class median of $113, and it is about $90 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 7.4 cu ft, the Ge GTD69EBPYWR 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, and smaller clothes dryer models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. Beyond size, its CEF of 3.93, 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 Ge GTD69EBPYWR cheap to run?
It is about average. At $113 a year it ranks #299 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Ge GTD69EBPYWR cost per month?
Roughly $9.4/mo, spreading the $113/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 608 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $113 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ge GTD69EBPYWR for its size?
50th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
