Model
Haier QFW150S*N***
Rank #167 means 166 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 14th efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 14% of those models.
What does the Haier QFW150S*N*** cost to run per year?
At $20 a year to run, the Haier QFW150S*N*** sits close to the middle of its class on cost, ranking #167 of 388 washing machine models we track. Once capacity is factored in, its efficiency percentile of 14 is among the lowest in its class. 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 Smeg WM24UWH at $20/yr runs a little cheaper and the Lg Signature WM9700H*A 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 Haier QFW150S*N***'s $20/yr adds up to roughly $200 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
By the numbers
The Haier QFW150S*N*** 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 Haier QFW150S*N*** adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Haier QFW150S*N*** 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 Haier QFW150S*N*** 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 2.4 cu ft, the Haier QFW150S*N*** 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 Haier QFW150S*N*** cheap to run?
It is about average. At $20 a year it ranks #167 of 388 washing machine models we track, close to the middle of its class on running cost.
How much does the Haier QFW150S*N*** cost per month?
Roughly $1.67/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 108 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 Haier QFW150S*N*** for its size?
14th percentile once size is factored in, a fairly typical result for the class.
