How much does it cost to run a dishwasher in Hawaii?

$126/yr · median certified model

Hawaii is the extreme case for U.S. electricity costs: 52.7¢/kWh, roughly 2.9× the national average. The median certified dishwasher costs about $126 a year here — the same appliance would cost $44 at national-average rates. In this rate environment, the gap between an efficient and an inefficient dishwasher is often larger than the appliance's purchase-price difference over its lifetime.

Hawaii sits at rank 51 of 51 — near the very top of the cost table for a dishwasher. Model choice matters as much as geography: at Hawaii rates the most efficient certified model (Loch L1126) costs $42 a year while the most power-hungry (Amana ADFS2524R) costs $127 — a spread of $84 every year. For reference, the national extremes are Nevada (13.1¢/kWh) and Hawaii (52.7¢/kWh); the same median dishwasher would cost $31 and $126 a year there.
