The data behind this page
Nothing here is estimated from a nameplate wattage; the 240 kWh/yr is ENERGY STAR's own certified figure for this model. The full Dishwasher category page shows all 737 dishwashers ranked by cost; the state-rate guide covers the half of this number that isn't the appliance.
