Model
Electrolux ELTG7600***
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 ELTG7600*** cost to run per year?
The Electrolux ELTG7600*** runs for about $16 a year, landing it near the bottom of the cost table at rank #47 of 388 washing machine models we track. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 93 means the low running cost is not just a function of size; it is genuinely efficient for its class. The IMEF figure of 2.76 on this model captures integrated modified energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Electrolux ELTE760C*** - at $16/yr runs a little cheaper and the Maytag MHW5630M** 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 ELTG7600***'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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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, right in the middle of the capacity range, so capacity is roughly a wash compared with the rest of the class. Its IMEF of 2.76, above the class median of 2.76, reflects integrated modified energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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.
