Model
Asko DBI364*
Rank #64 means 63 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 95th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 95% of those models.
What does the Asko DBI364* cost to run per year?
Rank #64 of 709 puts the Asko DBI364* among the cheapest dishwasher models we track to keep running, at roughly $41 a year. It uses 28.3% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $57/yr to run, a saving of roughly $16 a year. Few dishwasher models we track are more efficient for their size than this one; its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 95 is near the top of the class. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 16 place settings (the class spans 2 to 18), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Smeg DW8630 at $41/yr runs a little cheaper and the Asko DBI564* at $41/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A dishwasher typically stays in service for somewhere around 9 years; over that span, the Asko DBI364*'s $41/yr adds up to roughly $369 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Asko DBI364* 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 $41/yr, here is what the Asko DBI364* 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 DBI364* costs about $410. That is roughly $160 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $570 over the same ten years.
How the Asko DBI364* compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $41/yr, it runs about $3 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $26 a year more than the cheapest dishwasher to run at $15. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $57/yr, the Asko DBI364* uses 28.3% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 16 place settings, the Asko DBI364* is a large dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, and larger dishwasher models generally cost more to run than smaller ones in the same class, simply because there is more to keep cold, spin, heat, or light.
- Place-setting capacity. Place-setting capacity is the main driver of how much water a cycle has to heat, and heating that water is most of a dishwasher's electricity use.
- Water heating. Most dishwashers have a booster heater that raises incoming water to sanitizing temperature; this heating step, not the pump or motor, accounts for most of a cycle's electricity use.
- Cycle length and drying method. Heavy or sanitize cycles run longer and hotter than a normal or eco cycle, and heated-dry options cost more to run than air-dry or condensation drying.
Common questions
Is the Asko DBI364* cheap to run?
Yes. Its $41/yr running cost puts it at rank #64 of 709, below what most dishwasher models we track cost to run.
How much does the Asko DBI364* cost per month?
About $3.4 a month, which is the $41 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 220 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $41 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Asko DBI364* for its size?
95th 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.
