Model
Crosley ZWW5310R**
Rank #378 means 377 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 12th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 12% of those models.
What does the Crosley ZWW5310R** cost to run per year?
The Crosley ZWW5310R** costs about $48 a year to run, near the very top of the cost table for its class at rank #378 of 388. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 12 means the low running cost, where it exists, is driven almost entirely by capacity rather than efficiency. Its IMEF of 2.06 reflects integrated modified energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Lg WT7485C* at $41/yr runs a little cheaper and the Maytag MVW7230H** at $48/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 Crosley ZWW5310R**'s $48/yr adds up to roughly $480 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Whirlpool WTW6150P**, Whirlpool WTW6157P**, Whirlpool WTW8120H**, Whirlpool WTW500CM** (V22aAf50(3B)).
By the numbers
The Crosley ZWW5310R** 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 $48/yr, here is what the Crosley ZWW5310R** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Crosley ZWW5310R** costs about $480. That is roughly $280 more than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Crosley ZWW5310R** compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $48/yr, it runs about $28 a year above the class median of $20, and it is about $41 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 5.3 cu ft, the Crosley ZWW5310R** is a large washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, among washing machine models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. Beyond size, its IMEF of 2.06, below the class median of 2.76, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated modified energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- 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 Crosley ZWW5310R** cheap to run?
Its $48/yr running cost, rank #378 of 388, is above what most washing machine models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Crosley ZWW5310R** cost per month?
About $4.02 a month, which is the $48 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: 260 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $48 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Crosley ZWW5310R** for its size?
12th 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.
