Model
Whirlpool WED9750EW*
Rank #347 means 346 of the 615 clothes dryer models we track cost less to run each year; the 32nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 32% of those models.
What does the Whirlpool WED9750EW* cost to run per year?
At $113 a year to run, the Whirlpool WED9750EW* sits close to the middle of its class on cost, ranking #347 of 615 clothes dryer models we track. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 32 is below the class median, worth weighing alongside the raw dollar figure. 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 YMEDB855D*+ at $113/yr runs a little cheaper and the Whirlpool WED7590FW* 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 Whirlpool WED9750EW*'s $113/yr adds up to roughly $1469 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

What drives its running cost
At 7.3 cu ft, the Whirlpool WED9750EW* 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, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture. Beyond size, its CEF of 3.93, above 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.
