Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Beko HPD24412W ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a clothes dryer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Sourcing
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 149 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. Ranked 22 of 639 certified dryers for running cost, the Beko HPD24412W is also worth reading with a caveat specific to this category: the methodology page explains why ENERGY STAR's own combined-energy figure for dryers can overstate the electric bill impact of a gas model.
