Model
Beko BWM7200X
Rank #44 means 43 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 15th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 15% of those models.
What does the Beko BWM7200X cost to run per year?
The Beko BWM7200X runs for about $16 a year, landing it near the bottom of the cost table at rank #44 of 388 washing machine models we track. Efficiency-wise, once size is accounted for, it lags most of the class, ahead of only 15% of the models we track. At a IMEF of 2.07, 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 Whirlpool YWFH5424S** at $15/yr runs a little cheaper and the Blomberg WM72200W at $16/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 Beko BWM7200X's $16/yr adds up to roughly $160 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Blomberg WM72200W.
By the numbers
The Beko BWM7200X 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 $16/yr, here is what the Beko BWM7200X 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 BWM7200X costs about $160. That is roughly $40 less than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Beko BWM7200X compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $16/yr, it runs about $4 a year cheaper than the class median of $20, and it is about $9 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 1.9 cu ft, the Beko BWM7200X 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 2.07 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). IMEF is this class's core efficiency yardstick; two washers with the same drum size can carry meaningfully different IMEF figures and running costs.
- Drum volume. A larger-capacity washer can wash more per load, which can lower cost per pound of laundry, but it also draws more water and energy per cycle if you are not filling it.
- Water heating. Most washers rely on your home's hot water supply, but internal-heater sanitize or hot-wash cycles use meaningfully more electricity than a cold or warm wash.
Common questions
Is the Beko BWM7200X cheap to run?
Yes. Its $16/yr running cost puts it at rank #44 of 388, below what most washing machine models we track cost to run.
How much does the Beko BWM7200X cost per month?
About $1.3 a month, which is the $16 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: 84 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $16 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BWM7200X for its size?
15th 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.
