Model
Comfee CDC22P****
Rank #11 means 10 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 13th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 13% of those models.
What does the Comfee CDC22P**** cost to run per year?
The Comfee CDC22P**** costs about $29 a year to run, a figure that only a handful of the 709 dishwasher models we track can beat, rank #11. It uses 30.2% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $41/yr to run, a saving of roughly $12 a year. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 13 is among the lowest in its class. At 6 place settings, it is a small 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 Cafe CDD220**W*** at $29/yr runs a little cheaper and the Danby DDW621WDB at $29/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 Comfee CDC22P****'s $29/yr adds up to roughly $261 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Comfee CDC22P**** 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 $29/yr, here is what the Comfee CDC22P**** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Comfee CDC22P**** costs about $290. That is roughly $120 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $410 over the same ten years.
How the Comfee CDC22P**** compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $29/yr, it runs about $15 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $14 a year more than the cheapest dishwasher to run at $15. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $41/yr, the Comfee CDC22P**** uses 30.2% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 6 place settings, the Comfee CDC22P**** is a small dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is.
- 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 Comfee CDC22P**** cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $29 a year it ranks #11 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Comfee CDC22P**** cost per month?
Roughly $2.4/mo, spreading the $29/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 155 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $29 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Comfee CDC22P**** for its size?
13th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
