Model
Amana NED5800H**
Rank #299 means 298 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 50th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 50% of those models.
What does the Amana NED5800H** cost to run per year?
At about $113 a year, the Amana NED5800H** lands in the middle third of clothes dryer models we track on running cost, rank #299 of 615. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 50 lands in the middle of the pack once capacity is accounted for. At a CEF of 3.93, its combined energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Samsung DVE50R85*** at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Maytag MED8230H** at $113/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A clothes dryer typically stays in service for somewhere around 13 years; over that span, the Amana NED5800H**'s $113/yr adds up to roughly $1469 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Amana NED5800H** 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 $113/yr, here is what the Amana NED5800H** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Amana NED5800H** costs about $1130. That is roughly $0 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Amana NED5800H** compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $113/yr, it sits right on the class median of $113, and it is about $90 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 7.4 cu ft, the Amana NED5800H** is a small clothes dryer for its class, which spans 3.8 to 9.2 cu ft with a median of 7.4 cu ft, at the small end of the class, capacity itself is doing a lot of the work to keep that figure down, separate from how efficient the unit actually is. The CEF of 3.93 on this model, above the class median of 3.93, measures combined energy factor; it is the number to compare directly against another model's CEF if capacity is similar.
- Heat source and Combined Energy Factor (CEF). Heat-pump dryers recycle heat instead of generating it fresh with a resistance coil, and typically use meaningfully less electricity per load than a conventional resistance dryer, at the cost of a longer cycle; CEF is the federal figure that captures this.
- Drum capacity. A larger drum can dry a bigger load per cycle, but it also usually needs more energy per cycle to heat the extra air volume.
Common questions
Is the Amana NED5800H** cheap to run?
Roughly, yes. Its $113/yr figure is close to the class median, ranking #299 of 615, neither a bargain nor a splurge on running cost.
How much does the Amana NED5800H** cost per month?
About $9.4 a month, which is the $113 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 608 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $113 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Amana NED5800H** for its size?
50th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
