Model
Samsung DW70H83YETR
Rank #118 means 117 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 85th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 85% of those models.
What does the Samsung DW70H83YETR cost to run per year?
The Samsung DW70H83YETR costs about $42 a year to run and sits near the top of the cheapest-to-run leaderboard, rank #118 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 capacity is accounted for, it beats 85% of the class, a solidly strong result rather than a size-driven fluke. At 15 place settings, it is a mid-size 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 Fulgor Milano F6DWT24SS2 at $42/yr runs a little cheaper and the Samsung DW70H83YEUR 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR's $42/yr adds up to roughly $378 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.

By the numbers
The Samsung DW70H83YETR 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR 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 DW70H83YETR 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR uses 26.7% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 15 place settings, the Samsung DW70H83YETR is a mid-size dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, putting it squarely in the middle of the class on the size lever that drives most of the cost.
- 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $42 a year it ranks #118 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Samsung DW70H83YETR 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 Samsung DW70H83YETR for its size?
85th 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.
