Model
Dacor DDW24G9000AP
Rank #113 means 112 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 58th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 58% of those models.
What does the Dacor DDW24G9000AP cost to run per year?
Few dishwasher models we track cost less to run than the Dacor DDW24G9000AP: about $42 a year, rank #113 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. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 58% of dishwasher models we track, a middling result. At 14 place settings, it is a mid-size 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 Cove DW2451/ADA at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Electrolux EDSH4944CS***A 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP's $42/yr adds up to roughly $378 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Electrolux EDSH4944CS***A, Electrolux EDSP4944CS***A.
By the numbers
The Dacor DDW24G9000AP 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Dacor DDW24G9000AP 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP uses 26.7% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 14 place settings, the Dacor DDW24G9000AP is a mid-size dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost.
- 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $42 a year it ranks #113 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Dacor DDW24G9000AP 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 Dacor DDW24G9000AP for its size?
58th 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.
