Model
Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS
Rank #138 means 137 of the 709 dishwasher models we track cost less to run each year; the 41st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 41% of those models.
What does the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS cost to run per year?
Few dishwasher models we track cost less to run than the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS: about $43 a year, rank #138 of 709. It uses 25.1% less energy than the U.S. federal standard model in its class, which would cost about $57/yr to run, a saving of roughly $14 a year. Adjusted for size, it is more efficient than 41% of dishwasher models we track, a middling result. At 12 place settings, it is a small 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 Viking Range, Llc FDWU724 at $43/yr runs a little cheaper and the Cove DW2451 at $43/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 Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS's $43/yr adds up to roughly $387 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Beko DIT38532.
By the numbers
The Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS 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 $43/yr, here is what the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS costs about $430. That is roughly $140 less than a standard model in its class, which would run closer to $570 over the same ten years.
How the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS compares
The dishwasher class we track runs from $15 to $45 a year. At $43/yr, it runs about $1 a year cheaper than the class median of $44, and it is about $28 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 Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS uses 25.1% less energy.
What drives its running cost
At 12 place settings, the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS is a small dishwasher for its class, which spans 2 to 18 place settings with a median of 14 place settings, less capacity to service is usually the first reason a running-cost figure lands on the low side, before efficiency even enters the picture.
- 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 Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS cheap to run?
Yes, relatively. At $43 a year it ranks #138 of 709 dishwasher models we track, in the cheaper part of its class to run.
How much does the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS cost per month?
Roughly $3.56/mo, spreading the $43/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 230 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $43 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Viking Range, Llc VDWU724SS for its size?
41st percentile once size is factored in. That means its size-adjusted efficiency is not the main reason for the running-cost figure above; its capacity plays a large role too.
