Samsung DW90F8**0

The Samsung DW90F8**0 is certified at 225 kWh per year over the DOE test's 215 annual cycles, which comes to about $41 a year — call it 19¢ every time you run it. That's 6% less than the median certified dishwasher, placing it comfortably in the efficient third of the field (125 of 697). The same unit costs $29 a year in Nevada but $119 in Hawaii — electricity rates, not the appliance, make the difference. It also meets ENERGY STAR's stricter “Most Efficient” criteria.
