Calculatete now →How much electricity does a washing machine use?
A washing machine can use different amounts of electricity depending on the programme, temperature and duration. Cycles that heat water generally require more energy than cold-water programmes.
El consumo indicado por el fabricante suele referirse a un programa concreto. Cambiar temperatura, carga y programa puede modificar el resultado.
Use the calculator with example values →What do you need to calculate it?
Enter the appliance power, usage hours, days per month and your approximate price per kWh. If there is standby consumption, you can add it separately.
How to get a real-world figure
When possible, use an electricity consumption meter. This lets you replace the estimate with the measured consumption of your own appliance.
Basic formula
Consumption (kWh) = potencia (W) ÷ 1000 × horas de uso.
Cost = consumption (kWh) × electricity price.
