Model
Electrolux ELFG7337***
Rank #524 means 523 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 31st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 31% of those models.
What does the Electrolux ELFG7337*** cost to run per year?
At $128 a year to run, the Electrolux ELFG7337*** is among the more expensive clothes dryer models we track to run, ranking #524 of 615. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 31 is below the class median, worth weighing alongside the raw dollar figure. Its CEF of 3.48 reflects combined energy factor, one of the class's core efficiency levers.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Electrolux ELFG7637*** at $128/yr runs a little cheaper and the Electrolux ELFG7437*** at $128/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 Electrolux ELFG7337***'s $128/yr adds up to roughly $1664 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Electrolux EFMG427****.
By the numbers
The Electrolux ELFG7337*** 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 $128/yr, here is what the Electrolux ELFG7337*** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Electrolux ELFG7337*** costs about $1280. That is roughly $150 more than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Electrolux ELFG7337*** compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $128/yr, it runs about $15 a year above the class median of $113, and it is about $105 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 8 cu ft, the Electrolux ELFG7337*** is a large clothes dryer for its class, which spans 3.8 to 9.2 cu ft with a median of 7.4 cu ft, size is usually the single biggest lever behind a running-cost figure, and at this end of the range there is more capacity to service, which tends to push the number up. Beyond size, its CEF of 3.48, below the class median of 3.93, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, combined energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Heat source and Combined Energy Factor (CEF). CEF combines drying performance with standby and off-mode energy use; for a given drum size, a higher CEF means less energy per pound of laundry dried, and heat-pump models usually post the highest figures in the class.
- Drum capacity. Drum capacity sets how much laundry one cycle can hold, and heating a bigger volume of air generally costs more energy per cycle.
Common questions
Is the Electrolux ELFG7337*** cheap to run?
Not especially. At $128 a year it ranks #524 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the pricier part of its class to run, though its size and features may still justify that for your needs.
How much does the Electrolux ELFG7337*** cost per month?
Roughly $10.63/mo, spreading the $128/yr estimate evenly across twelve months at $0.1856/kWh. Actual monthly bills swing with your rate and usage pattern.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
We take the model's published annual energy use of 687 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $128 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Electrolux ELFG7337*** for its size?
31st percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
