Model
Beko BDDIT48340
Rank #102 means 101 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 96th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 96% of those models.
What does the Beko BDDIT48340 cost to run per year?
Few dishwasher models we track cost less to run than the Beko BDDIT48340: about $42 a year, rank #102 of 709. It uses 26.7% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $57/yr to run, a saving of roughly $15 a year. Normalized for capacity, it ranks ahead of 96% of dishwasher models we track on efficiency, an exceptional showing for the class. At 17 place settings, it is a large dishwasher for the class, which runs 2 to 18 place settings; size and efficiency are the two levers behind the figure above, and this dataset does not carry a separate efficiency-factor column for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Beko BDDDT49340*** at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Beko BDDIT49340 at $42/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 Beko BDDIT48340's $42/yr adds up to roughly $378 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Beko BDDIT49340, Beko BDDDT49340***, Beko BDDDT48340****.
By the numbers
The Beko BDDIT48340 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 $42/yr, here is what the Beko BDDIT48340 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Beko BDDIT48340 costs about $420. That is roughly $150 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $570 over the same ten years.
How the Beko BDDIT48340 compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $42/yr, it runs about $2 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $27 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 Beko BDDIT48340 uses 26.7% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 17 place settings, the Beko BDDIT48340 is a large dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, among dishwasher models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal.
- Place-setting capacity. A larger dishwasher heats more water per cycle, so bigger capacity generally means a higher annual energy figure, independent of how efficient the unit is.
- Water heating. The booster heater that brings water up to sanitizing temperature is usually the single largest electrical load in a dishwasher's cycle.
- Cycle length and drying method. Cycle selection, eco versus heavy, air-dry versus heated-dry, moves real running cost more than most owners realize for a given capacity.
Common questions
Is the Beko BDDIT48340 cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $42 a year it ranks #102 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Beko BDDIT48340 cost per month?
Roughly $3.48/mo, spreading the $42/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 225 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $42 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BDDIT48340 for its size?
96th 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.
