What sits beside it in the ranking
Asko W3LW.U ($14/yr, 75 kWh/yr) costs a little more to run than the Asko W2084.W.U. AEG WHP120 ($14/yr, 75 kWh/yr) costs a little less.
Same brand, different models
Asko sells 3 certified washing machines; this one runs cheapest of them, about the same, within a dollar a year, under the W3W.U, its priciest.
Cost over its typical lifespan
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical washing machine's service life at 10 years; run the Asko W2084.W.U that long and it costs about $141 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Asko W2084.W.U is already efficient for its category at $14/year. If you're shopping and comparing options, this is roughly what a well-chosen new washing machine costs to run.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
Whether or not the Asko W2084.W.U ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a washing machine, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
Sourcing
