Washer Savings Guide
Fact:
A common household clothes washer wastes more
energy and money than nearly every other home appliance.
Best Features:
Choose a clothes washer model with the Energy Star® label to ensure that
you get an appliance with a superior design that requires less water and
energy to get clothes thoroughly clean.
Look for machines with...
_Several options to adjust water level.
_A mini_basket insert that fits over the agitator for smaller loads.
_Presoaking and/or "suds saver" options that conserve energy.
_Faster spin speeds which remove more water and shorten drying time.
Save Money:
When you are ready to buy
a new clothes washer, don't be misled by advertising slogans like energy
miser, energy saver, or fuel saver, instead, choose a clothes
washer that uses the least energy to operate. You could save more than
$1,000.00 in energy and water costs over the machine's lifetime. With
savings like that, the machine will pay for itself even if the initial
cost is higher than the less efficient models.
