The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 114 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The Fisher & Paykel DD24STX6PX1 is among the cheapest 737 dishwashers tracked here to run, see the full Dishwasher category page for the rest of the range. Being near the top of the category still doesn't answer whether replacing an older model is worth it, which the guide to when replacing one actually pays off does.
