Model
Electrolux ELTE760C*** -
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 ELTE760C*** - cost to run per year?
Few washing machine models we track cost less to run than the Electrolux ELTE760C*** -: about $16 a year, rank #47 of 388. Normalized for capacity, it ranks ahead of 93% of washing machine models we track on efficiency, a genuinely strong showing. 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 ELTE7600*** - at $16/yr runs a little cheaper and the Electrolux ELTG7600*** 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 ELTE760C*** -'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 ELTE760C*** - 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 ELTE760C*** - 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 ELTE760C*** - 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 ELTE760C*** - 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 ELTE760C*** - 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, neither the size advantage of a small unit nor the size penalty of a large one applies here, so its running cost is a fairer test of efficiency alone. 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). 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 Electrolux ELTE760C*** - cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $16 a year it ranks #47 of 388 washing machine models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Electrolux ELTE760C*** - cost per month?
Roughly $1.31/mo, spreading the $16/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 85 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $16 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Electrolux ELTE760C*** - 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.
