What this adds up to over time

Weighing a replacement
Efficient as certified washing machines go, $16/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
Whether or not the Beko BWM7200X ever needs replacing, a repair is the more common failure for a washing machine, one a protection plan budgets for ahead of time.
