Model
Gorenje WNPA54U
Rank #99 means 98 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 1st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 1% of those models.
What does the Gorenje WNPA54U cost to run per year?
Among the 388 washing machine models we track, the Gorenje WNPA54U sits in the below-average-cost group, rank #99, at roughly $19 a year. Capacity-normalized, it ranks ahead of just 1% of washing machine models we track, near the bottom of every model we track in the class. This class has no published efficiency-factor figure beyond annual kWh itself, so at 1.9 cu ft (the class spans 1.9 to 6), size is the clearest lever we can point to for this model's running cost.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Breda LUWM91400 at $19/yr runs a little cheaper and the Gorenje WNPA64U at $19/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 Gorenje WNPA54U's $19/yr adds up to roughly $190 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Gorenje WNPA54U 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 $19/yr, here is what the Gorenje WNPA54U adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Gorenje WNPA54U costs about $190. That is roughly $10 less than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Gorenje WNPA54U compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $19/yr, it runs about $1 a year cheaper than the class median of $20, and it is about $12 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 1.9 cu ft, the Gorenje WNPA54U is a small washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Gorenje WNPA54U cheap to run?
Yes. Its $19/yr running cost puts it at rank #99 of 388, below what most washing machine models we track cost to run.
How much does the Gorenje WNPA54U cost per month?
About $1.55 a month, which is the $19 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: 100 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $19 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Gorenje WNPA54U for its size?
1st percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
