Model
Midea MLTW54M5CCG
Rank #364 means 363 of the 388 washing machine models we track cost less to run each year; the 22nd efficiency percentile means it uses less energy for its size than 22% of those models.
What does the Midea MLTW54M5CCG cost to run per year?
Rank #364 of 388 puts the Midea MLTW54M5CCG among the pricier washing machine models we track to keep running, at roughly $40 a year. Its size-adjusted efficiency percentile of 22 suggests its capacity is doing more work than its efficiency to keep the headline cost down. The IMEF figure of 2.06 on this model captures integrated modified energy factor, the main efficiency lever ENERGY STAR tracks for this class.
Immediately around it on the leaderboard, the Midea MLTW61A5CWW at $40/yr runs a little cheaper and the Midea MLTW54M5CWW at $40/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 Midea MLTW54M5CCG's $40/yr adds up to roughly $400 in electricity alone, before purchase price or repairs.
Also sold as: Midea MLTW54M5CWW, Midea MLTW54M7ACG, Midea MLTW62M5CCG, Midea MLTW62M5CWW, Midea MLTW62M7ACG, Midea MLTW54M5CWWC.
By the numbers
The Midea MLTW54M5CCG 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 $40/yr, here is what the Midea MLTW54M5CCG adds up to before purchase price, water, or repairs enter the math.
Left running for a decade at today's US average rate, the Midea MLTW54M5CCG costs about $400. That is roughly $200 more than the class median, which would run closer to $200 over the same ten years.
How the Midea MLTW54M5CCG compares
The washing machine class we track runs from $7 to $58 a year. At $40/yr, it runs about $20 a year above the class median of $20, and it is about $33 a year more than the cheapest washing machine to run at $7.
What drives its running cost
At 5.4 cu ft, the Midea MLTW54M5CCG is a large washing machine for its class, which spans 1.9 to 6 cu ft with a median of 4.5 cu ft, and larger washing machine models generally cost more to run than smaller ones in the same class, simply because there is more to keep cold, spin, heat, or light. Beyond size, its IMEF of 2.06, 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). IMEF is this class's core efficiency yardstick; two washers with the same drum size can carry meaningfully different IMEF figures and running costs.
- Drum volume. A larger-capacity washer can wash more per load, which can lower cost per pound of laundry, but it also draws more water and energy per cycle if you are not filling it.
- Water heating. Most washers rely on your home's hot water supply, but internal-heater sanitize or hot-wash cycles use meaningfully more electricity than a cold or warm wash.
Common questions
Is the Midea MLTW54M5CCG cheap to run?
Its $40/yr running cost, rank #364 of 388, is above what most washing machine models we track cost to run, so this is not one of the cheaper picks on electricity alone.
How much does the Midea MLTW54M5CCG cost per month?
About $3.31 a month, which is the $40 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: 214 kWh from ENERGY STAR times the US average of $0.1856/kWh comes to about $40 a year. It covers electricity only, not the purchase price, water, or installation.
How efficient is the Midea MLTW54M5CCG for its size?
22nd 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.
