Model
Asko W2084.W.U
Rank #29 means 28 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 27th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 27% of those models.
What does the Asko W2084.W.U cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Asko W2084.W.U's $14/yr puts it at rank #29 of 388, one of the more affordable washing machine models we track to keep running. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 27% of washing machine models we track, a below-average efficiency result. At a IMEF of 2.31, its integrated modified energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aeg WHP120 at $14/yr runs a little cheaper and the Asko W3LW.U at $14/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A washing machine typically stays in service for somewhere around 10 years; over that span, the Asko W2084.W.U's $14/yr adds up to roughly $140 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Asko W2084.W.U 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 $14/yr, here is what the Asko W2084.W.U adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Asko W2084.W.U costs about $140. That is roughly $60 less than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Asko W2084.W.U compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $14/yr, it runs about $6 a year cheaper than the class median of $20, and it is about $7 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 2 cu ft, the Asko W2084.W.U is a small washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, and smaller washing machine models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. The IMEF of 2.31 on this model, below the class median of 2.76, measures integrated modified energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's IMEF if capacity is similar.
- Spin and wash efficiency (IMEF). A higher Integrated Modified Energy Factor means the machine wrings more useful washing (and a drier spin) out of every kilowatt-hour and gallon it uses.
- Drum volume. Drum volume sets the ceiling on how much a single cycle can wash, and it is usually the first driver of a washer's per-cycle energy use.
- Water heating. Cycle temperature, more than drum size, is usually what separates a cheap wash cycle from an expensive one on models with an internal water heater.
Common questions
Is the Asko W2084.W.U cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $14 a year it ranks #29 of 388 washing machine models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Asko W2084.W.U cost per month?
Roughly $1.16/mo, spreading the $14/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 75 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $14 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Asko W2084.W.U for its size?
27th 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.
