Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Beko DDN25401: AEG F8642SS ($44/yr, 234 kWh/yr), then Beko DDN25402 ($44/yr, 234 kWh/yr).
Within the Beko lineup

What this adds up to over time

Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified dishwashers go, $44/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.

If you're keeping it
A dishwasher like the Beko DDN25401 is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
