Model
Breda BRDH927002
Rank #55 means 54 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 90th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 90% of those models.
What does the Breda BRDH927002 cost to run per year?
The Breda BRDH927002 runs for about $53 a year, landing it near the bottom of the cost table at rank #55 of 615 clothes dryer models we track. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 90 sits well above the class median, a clearly above-average efficiency result. Its CEF of 3 reflects combined energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Breda LUDH92700 at $53/yr runs a little cheaper and the Summit LBDHP244 at $53/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 Breda BRDH927002's $53/yr adds up to roughly $689 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Breda LUDH92700.
By the numbers
The Breda BRDH927002 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 $53/yr, here is what the Breda BRDH927002 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Breda BRDH927002 costs about $530. That is roughly $600 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Breda BRDH927002 compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $53/yr, it runs about $60 a year cheaper than the class median of $113, and it is about $30 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 4.2 cu ft, the Breda BRDH927002 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 on this model, below 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 Breda BRDH927002 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $53/yr running cost puts it at rank #55 of 615, below what most clothes dryer models we track cost to run.
How much does the Breda BRDH927002 cost per month?
About $4.38 a month, which is the $53 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: 283 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $53 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Breda BRDH927002 for its size?
90th percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is a real factor in the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
