Model
Beko BDDIT49340
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 BDDIT49340 cost to run per year?
The Beko BDDIT49340 holds rank #102 of 709 on running cost, at about $42 a year, a genuinely cheap result for the class. 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. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 96 means the low running cost is not just a function of size; almost nothing in the class beats it on efficiency once capacity is accounted for. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 17 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 Beko BDDIT48340 at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Beko DDT38530*** 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 BDDIT49340's $42/yr adds up to roughly $378 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Beko BDDIT49340 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 BDDIT49340 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 BDDIT49340 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 BDDIT49340 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 BDDIT49340 uses 26.7% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 17 place settings, the Beko BDDIT49340 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. 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 Beko BDDIT49340 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $42/yr running cost puts it at rank #102 of 709, below what most dishwasher models we track cost to run.
How much does the Beko BDDIT49340 cost per month?
About $3.48 a month, which is the $42 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: 225 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $42 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BDDIT49340 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.
