Model
Midea MLTW62M5CCG
Rank #364 means 363 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 22nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 22% of those models.
What does the Midea MLTW62M5CCG cost to run per year?
Do the math and the Midea MLTW62M5CCG's $40/yr puts it at rank #364 of 388, one of the costlier washing machine models we track to keep running. Adjusted for size, it is only more efficient than 22% of washing machine models we track, so part of its running cost comes from its capacity rather than efficiency alone. 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 Midea MLTW54M7ACG at $40/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MLTW62M5CWW at $40/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 Midea MLTW62M5CCG's $40/yr adds up to roughly $400 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Midea MLTW62M5CCG 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 $40/yr, here is what the Midea MLTW62M5CCG adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Midea MLTW62M5CCG costs about $400. That is roughly $200 more than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Midea MLTW62M5CCG compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $40/yr, it runs about $20 a year above the class median of $20, and it is about $33 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 5.4 cu ft, the Midea MLTW62M5CCG is a large washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. 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). 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 Midea MLTW62M5CCG cheap to run?
Not especially. At $40 a year it ranks #364 of 388 washing machine models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Midea MLTW62M5CCG cost per month?
Roughly $3.31/mo, spreading the $40/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 214 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $40 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Midea MLTW62M5CCG for its size?
22nd 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.
