Washing Machines for Energy Efficiency Buying Guide


With today's suffering economy and the emphasis on living a "green" lifestyle, many people are purchasing more energy-efficient appliances for their homes. High-efficiency washing machines will ultimately save you time and money, but make sure that they meet specific criteria before you purchase a machine for your home use. Though it may be an Energy Star-rated unit, it could still waste water and more energy than you think, so take a look at the following product details when looking for the best energy-efficient washing machine.

Energy Efficiency

The first step is to check that the washing machine you're planning to buy has an energy efficiency profile. The Energy Star-compliant units save energy and money and help protect the environment.

Spin Speeds

Consider a washing machine that features at least a 3-speed spin cycle. The best washing machines for high efficiency usually have up to 5 or 7 high-speed cycles ranging from 400 to 1200 rpm. Front-loading washing machines usually feature spinning cycles of up to 2400rpm. These higher spin cycles allow the clothing to come out less wet, which cuts down the time needed in the dryer. This can add up to significant savings very quickly.

Water Levels

Units that allow for a water level setting can help you save on your water bills. Smaller loads require very little water, but without the appropriate water level functions, your "energy-efficient" machine will use the same as usual, leading to a waste of water, energy and money.
