Model
Ge GUD37EE*N***
Rank #294 means 293 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 2nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 2% of those models.
What does the Ge GUD37EE*N*** cost to run per year?
Ranking #294 of 615, the Ge GUD37EE*N*** runs at roughly $113 a year, neither the cheapest nor the priciest in its class. Normalized for capacity, it beats only 2% of clothes dryer models we track, the weakest tier this efficiency ranking produces. 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 Maytag YMED8630H** at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Ge GUD27EE*N*** 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 Ge GUD37EE*N***'s $113/yr adds up to roughly $1469 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Ge GUD27EE*N***.
By the numbers
The Ge GUD37EE*N*** 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 Ge GUD37EE*N*** 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 GUD37EE*N*** 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 Ge GUD37EE*N*** 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 6 cu ft, the Ge GUD37EE*N*** 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 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). 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 GUD37EE*N*** cheap to run?
It is about average. At $113 a year it ranks #294 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
