Model
Electrolux ELTG7600***
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 ELTG7600*** cost to run per year?
The Electrolux ELTG7600*** costs about $128 a year to run, well up the cost table for its class at rank #524 of 615. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 31 suggests its capacity is doing more work than its efficiency to keep the headline cost down. The CEF figure of 3.48 on this model captures combined energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Electrolux ELTG7300*** at $128/yr runs a little cheaper and the Ge GFD65GS*V*** 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 ELTG7600***'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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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 ELTG7600*** 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, among clothes dryer models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal. Its CEF of 3.48, below the class median of 3.93, reflects combined energy factor: a higher figure means it wrings more useful work out of every kilowatt-hour, so it is the efficiency lever to weigh against raw size.
- 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 Electrolux ELTG7600*** cheap to run?
Its $128/yr running cost, rank #524 of 615, is above what most clothes dryer models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Electrolux ELTG7600*** cost per month?
About $10.63 a month, which is the $128 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: 687 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $128 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Electrolux ELTG7600*** 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.
