Model
Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1
Rank #15 means 14 of the 172 television models we track cost less to run each year; the 91st efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 91% of those models.
What does the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 cost to run per year?
Among the 172 television models we track, the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1's $12/yr running cost ranks it #15, comfortably in the cheap-to-run group. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 91 means the low running cost is not just a function of size; it is genuinely efficient for its class. Its on-mode draw of 34.76 W is the number ENERGY STAR measures directly and the one this running-cost figure is built from.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Xitrix XPN-DSA3250 at $12/yr runs a little cheaper and the Sansui LE-32VA1 at $12/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A television typically stays in service for somewhere around 7 years; over that span, the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1's $12/yr adds up to roughly $84 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 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 $12/yr, here is what the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 costs about $120. That is roughly $230 less than the class median, which would run closer to $350 over the same ten years.
How the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 compares
The television class we track runs from $3 to $117 a year. At $12/yr, it runs about $23 a year cheaper than the class median of $35, and it is about $9 a year more than the cheapest television to run at $3.
What drives its running cost
At 31.43 in, the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 is a small television for its class, which spans 13.23 to 114.4 in with a median of 55 in, and smaller television models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. Its on-mode power draw of 34.76 W (the class spans 9.3 to 343.5 W) is the direct input into the running-cost figure, and the picture-brightness setting you choose is the single biggest lever you control over it day to day.
- On-mode brightness. On-mode watts, the figure ENERGY STAR measures at the factory picture setting, can differ a lot from what a TV actually draws once you change the picture mode.
- Screen size. Screen size is the single strongest predictor of a TV's on-mode wattage, ahead of panel technology or brand.
- Hours of use. Running cost compounds with hours of use, so this figure is really a per-hour rate multiplied by a standard viewing assumption, not a fixed annual bill.
Common questions
Is the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 cheap to run?
Yes. Its $12/yr running cost puts it at rank #15 of 172, below what most television models we track cost to run.
How much does the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 cost per month?
About $1.01 a month, which is the $12 annual estimate spread across twelve months at the US average rate of $0.1856/kWh. Your own bill scales with your local electricity rate and how heavily you use it.
How is this running-cost figure calculated?
The formula is annual kWh times price per kWh: 66 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $12 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Sansui, Amzfast LE-32V1 for its size?
91st 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.
