Model
Samsung DV25FG62*0**
Rank #22 means 21 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 95th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 95% of those models.
What does the Samsung DV25FG62*0** cost to run per year?
Almost nothing we track in this class costs less to run than the Samsung DV25FG62*0**: about $29 a year, rank #22 of 615. Adjusted for its cef, it is more efficient than 95% of clothes dryer models we track, one of the strongest results in the whole class. The CEF figure of 5.5 on this model captures combined energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Samsung DV25B68**H* at $29/yr runs a little cheaper and the Asko T5HXLW.U at $39/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 Samsung DV25FG62*0**'s $29/yr adds up to roughly $377 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Samsung DV25B68**H*.
By the numbers
The Samsung DV25FG62*0** 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 $29/yr, here is what the Samsung DV25FG62*0** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Samsung DV25FG62*0** costs about $290. That is roughly $840 less than the class median, which would run closer to $1130 over the same ten years.
How the Samsung DV25FG62*0** compares
The clothes dryer class we track runs from $23 to $128 a year. At $29/yr, it runs about $84 a year cheaper than the class median of $113, and it is about $6 a year more than the cheapest clothes dryer to run at $23.
What drives its running cost
At 4 cu ft, the Samsung DV25FG62*0** 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 5.5 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 Samsung DV25FG62*0** cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $29 a year it ranks #22 of 615 clothes dryer models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Samsung DV25FG62*0** cost per month?
Roughly $2.38/mo, spreading the $29/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 154 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $29 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Samsung DV25FG62*0** for its size?
95th 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.
