Asko T3HW.U
Across a standard year of loads (283 cycles under the DOE test), the Asko T3HW.U uses 142 kWh — about $26 at the U.S. average electricity rate, or roughly 9¢ per load. That puts it in the most efficient tenth of every certified clothes dryer — 77% less electricity than the median, ranked 19 of 325. The same unit costs $19 a year in Nevada but $75 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference.
