What this adds up to over time

Weighing a replacement

Efficient as certified dishwashers go, $29/year is a reasonable baseline if you're comparing what else is on the market.

Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.

If you're keeping it

$29/year to run is the predictable cost of the Comfee CDC22P****; a protection plan covers the unpredictable one, a repair bill.
