yeah 400 a year washing for what just you? What if you got two or three people? Tho... I never got away with just 2.50 drying time. But maybe you found a better washer to wring out better...
Anyway, it cost about 50 cents to run my washer per load and I might run it 3 times a month on average. So that's 1.50 ... It cost nothing to dry. So 1.50 - 18.00 round out to 20 bucks a year.
We don't use hot water to wash. Just cold water. Hardly ever go over the allotted gallons of hawaiian beaches so... Not costing any more in water. High efficiency might have a play in this too -- Note getting an older washer will probably cost more to operate it and a lot more water but on the upside might get your clothes somewhat cleaner.
At any rate, Since I paid 500 dollars with 5 year warranty... In my first year I will have made up the difference.
The Bonus? No smelling of Body Order of people that hang out there... No wondering who's nasty dirty cloths were in that machine just before you put your clothes in it... No wasting gas to get to the laundromat... No waiting around for wash/dry ... Can do your wash ANYTIME yes even at 3AM ... And Todah! Saves a crap load of money. Not only that but I found the machines never got my clothes as clean than the machine I own now.
What's really funny is I am doing laundry right now.
If you have upfront cash, just go to smiths they have a pretty good selection from 250-350. Can't go wrong IMO. So far I'm happy with my computer and sensors on my machine.
