ENERGY STAR Qualified Clothes Washers

ENERGY STARĀ® qualified clothes washers are energy efficient, good for the environment and easier on your clothes, your pocketbook and your schedule. ENERGY STAR energy efficient clothes washers use today's technology to adjust for load size and water temperature.

Today's ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers are also designed to extract more water than conventional clothes washers. This allows for shorter drying times, adding up to additional energy and time savings for every load of laundry.

Save Money and Energy with Energy Efficient Washing Machines

Compared to a 10-year-old clothes washer, an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer can save about $100 on average per year on your utility bills because ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers use up to 50% less energy and save about 25 gallons of water per load. Saving that much energy and water per load adds up to a substantial environmental and financial savings.
