Model
Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1
Rank #2 means 1 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 Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1's $21/yr running cost puts it at rank #2 of 709, among the least expensive dishwasher models we track to keep running. It uses 48.6% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $41/yr to run, a saving of roughly $20 a year. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 58 lands in the middle of the pack once capacity is accounted for. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 7 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 Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6I1 at $21/yr runs a little cheaper and the Fisher & Paykel DD24SAX9 at $25/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 Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1's $21/yr adds up to roughly $189 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs. At rank #2 of 709, it is one of the single cheapest dishwasher models we track to run, in the top one percent on cost.

By the numbers
The Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 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 $21/yr, here is what the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 costs about $210. That is roughly $200 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $410 over the same ten years.
How the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $21/yr, it runs about $23 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $6 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 Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 uses 48.6% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 7 place settings, the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 is a small dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, and smaller dishwasher models generally cost less to run for the same job, 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 Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $21/yr running cost puts it at rank #2 of 709, below what most dishwasher models we track cost to run.
How much does the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 cost per month?
About $1.76 a month, which is the $21 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: 114 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $21 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 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.
