Model
Avanti FLW22V0W
Rank #172 means 171 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 10th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 10% of those models.
What does the Avanti FLW22V0W cost to run per year?
At $20 a year to run, the Avanti FLW22V0W sits close to the middle of its class on cost, ranking #172 of 388 washing machine models we track. Its 10th size-adjusted efficiency percentile is well below the class median, worth weighing against the raw cost figure above. At a IMEF of 2.07, its integrated modified energy factor is the single figure that best explains how it earns its running-cost number.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Aeg W14120 at $20/yr runs a little cheaper and the Black+Decker BFLW45M at $20/yr runs a little more, a sense of how tightly models are packed at this point in the ranking. A washing machine typically stays in service for somewhere around 10 years; over that span, the Avanti FLW22V0W's $20/yr adds up to roughly $200 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Aeg W14120.
By the numbers
The Avanti FLW22V0W 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 $20/yr, here is what the Avanti FLW22V0W adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Avanti FLW22V0W costs about $200. That is roughly $0 less than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Avanti FLW22V0W compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $20/yr, it sits right on the class median of $20, and it is about $13 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 2.2 cu ft, the Avanti FLW22V0W is a small washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, and smaller washing machine models generally cost less to run for the same job, all else being equal. Beyond size, its IMEF of 2.07, below the class median of 2.76, is the class's own efficiency yardstick, integrated modified energy factor, and it is what separates two similarly sized models with different running costs.
- Spin and wash efficiency (IMEF). A higher Integrated Modified Energy Factor means the machine wrings more useful washing (and a drier spin) out of every kilowatt-hour and gallon it uses.
- Drum volume. Drum volume sets the ceiling on how much a single cycle can wash, and it is usually the first driver of a washer's per-cycle energy use.
- Water heating. Cycle temperature, more than drum size, is usually what separates a cheap wash cycle from an expensive one on models with an internal water heater.
Common questions
Is the Avanti FLW22V0W cheap to run?
It is about average. At $20 a year it ranks #172 of 388 washing machine models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Avanti FLW22V0W cost per month?
Roughly $1.7/mo, spreading the $20/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 110 kWh from ENERGY STAR and multiply it by the US average residential electricity rate of $0.1856/kWh, giving about $20 a year. It is an electricity-only estimate and does not include purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Avanti FLW22V0W for its size?
10th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
