Model
Beko BDDDT49340***
Rank #102 means 101 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 96th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 96% of those models.
What does the Beko BDDDT49340*** cost to run per year?
The Beko BDDDT49340*** costs about $42 a year to run and sits near the top of the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #102 of 709. It uses 26.7% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $57/yr to run, a saving of roughly $15 a year. Efficiency-wise, once its capacity is accounted for, it edges out 96% of the class, about as strong a result as this ranking produces. At 17 place settings, it is a large dishwasher for the class, which runs 2 to 18 place settings; size and efficiency are the two levers behind the figure above, and this dataset does not carry a separate efficiency-factor column for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Beko BDDDT48340**** at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Beko BDDIT48340 at $42/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A dishwasher typically stays in service for somewhere around 9 years; over that span, the Beko BDDDT49340***'s $42/yr adds up to roughly $378 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Beko BDDIT48340.
By the numbers
The Beko BDDDT49340*** 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 $42/yr, here is what the Beko BDDDT49340*** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Beko BDDDT49340*** costs about $420. That is roughly $150 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $570 over the same ten years.
How the Beko BDDDT49340*** compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $42/yr, it runs about $2 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $27 a year more than the cheapest dishwasher to run at $15. Against the US federal standard model for its class at about $57/yr, the Beko BDDDT49340*** uses 26.7% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 17 place settings, the Beko BDDDT49340*** is a large dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, among dishwasher models, bigger capacity is the most common reason a running-cost figure lands on the high side, all else being equal.
- Place-setting capacity. A larger dishwasher heats more water per cycle, so bigger capacity generally means a higher annual energy figure, independent of how efficient the unit is.
- Water heating. The booster heater that brings water up to sanitizing temperature is usually the single largest electrical load in a dishwasher's cycle.
- Cycle length and drying method. Cycle selection, eco versus heavy, air-dry versus heated-dry, moves real running cost more than most owners realize for a given capacity.
Common questions
Is the Beko BDDDT49340*** cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $42 a year it ranks #102 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Beko BDDDT49340*** cost per month?
Roughly $3.48/mo, spreading the $42/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 225 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $42 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Beko BDDDT49340*** for its size?
96th 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.
