The $129 figure above uses the simple average of all 51 published state rates. Pick your state for the real number.
Samsung DV90F53*G* against the category
That's 20.1% above the clothes dryer category average of 572 kWh/yr, and ranks 595 of 639 certified clothes dryers for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. The category average comes from every clothes dryer ENERGY STAR currently certifies (639 models), not an outside benchmark, about $22/year above that average at the national rate. See the methodology page.
What sits beside it in the ranking
Samsung DVG45A64*** ($129/yr, 687 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Samsung DV90F53*G*. Midea MLTG54S7ACG ($129/yr, 687 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Comparing Samsung's own models
Samsung makes 102 ENERGY STAR certified clothes dryers; this one ranks 78 of 102 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the DV25B69**H* at $24/yr, and its priciest, the WH53DBH7**G* at $129/yr.
Samsung DV90F53*G* over 12 years
12 years is NAHB's typical service life for this category; at $129/year, the Samsung DV90F53*G* adds up to about $1,550 in electricity over that span.
Weighing a replacement
The Samsung DV90F53*G* runs above its category average. If the clothes dryer you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $129/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Samsung DV90F53*G* ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a clothes dryer, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Sourcing
Two sourced numbers, nothing modeled: ENERGY STAR's certified kWh/yr for this exact model, and EIA's published state electricity rate. Ranked 595 of 639 certified dryers for running cost, the Samsung DV90F53*G* 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.
