Model
Ge GFT14JS*M***
Rank #67 means 66 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 76th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 76% of those models.
What does the Ge GFT14JS*M*** cost to run per year?
At $59 a year to run, the Ge GFT14JS*M*** is among the cheapest clothes dryer models we track, ranking #67 of 615. Once capacity is factored in, its 76th efficiency percentile puts it ahead of most peers in its class. At a CEF of 2.68, 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 Ge GFT14ES*M*** at $59/yr runs a little cheaper and the Electrolux ELFE422C*** at $59/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 Ge GFT14JS*M***'s $59/yr adds up to roughly $767 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Fisher&Paykel DE4024P2.
By the numbers
The Ge GFT14JS*M*** 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 $59/yr, here is what the Ge GFT14JS*M*** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Ge GFT14JS*M*** costs about $590. That is roughly $540 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Ge GFT14JS*M*** compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $59/yr, it runs about $54 a year cheaper than the class median of $113, and it is about $36 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 4.1 cu ft, the Ge GFT14JS*M*** 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, and smaller clothes dryer models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. The CEF of 2.68 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). 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 Ge GFT14JS*M*** cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $59 a year it ranks #67 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Ge GFT14JS*M*** cost per month?
Roughly $4.9/mo, spreading the $59/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 317 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $59 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Ge GFT14JS*M*** for its size?
76th 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.
