Model
Electrolux ELTE7600*** -
Rank #47 means 46 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 93rd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 93% of those models.
What does the Electrolux ELTE7600*** - cost to run per year?
The Electrolux ELTE7600*** - holds rank #47 of 388 on running cost, at about $16 a year, a genuinely cheap result for the class. Size-adjusted, this model beats 93% of washing machine models we track on efficiency, one of the stronger results in its class. Its IMEF of 2.76 reflects integrated modified energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Electrolux ELFW7637*** at $16/yr runs a little cheaper and the Electrolux ELTE760C*** - 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 Electrolux ELTE7600*** -'s $16/yr adds up to roughly $160 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Electrolux ELFW7437***.
By the numbers
The Electrolux ELTE7600*** - 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 Electrolux ELTE7600*** - adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Electrolux ELTE7600*** - 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 Electrolux ELTE7600*** - 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 4.5 cu ft, the Electrolux ELTE7600*** - is a mid-size washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost. Beyond size, its IMEF of 2.76, above 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 Electrolux ELTE7600*** - cheap to run?
Yes. Its $16/yr running cost puts it at rank #47 of 388, below what most washing machine models we track cost to run.
How much does the Electrolux ELTE7600*** - cost per month?
About $1.31 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: 85 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 Electrolux ELTE7600*** - for its size?
93rd 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.
