What the Marathon MWM2214W costs to run
At 110 kWh/yr, the Marathon MWM2214W's ENERGY STAR certification puts it cheaper than most models in its category to run against every other certified washing machine.
The $21 figure above uses the simple average of all 51 published state rates. Pick your state for the real number.
Where this ranks
That's 10.6% below the washing machine category average of 123 kWh/yr, and ranks 194 of 398 certified washing machines for annual running cost, 1 being cheapest. Every one of the 398 currently-certified washing machines feeds that average, putting this model about $2/year under it. See how it's calculated on the how it is calculated page.
The closest alternatives by cost
Sorted by running cost among washing machines, one step cheaper is Magic Chef MCSFLW24W1 ($21/yr, 110 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is Midea MLH52S7AGS ($21/yr, 110 kWh/yr).
Within the Marathon lineup
The Marathon MWM2214W is the only washing machine from Marathon that ENERGY STAR currently certifies, so there's no same-brand model to weigh it against here, only the full washing machine category.
Cost over its typical lifespan
Over the 10-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Marathon MWM2214W costs roughly $207 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Weighing a replacement
The Marathon MWM2214W is already efficient for its category at $21/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
A washing machine like the Marathon MWM2214W is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
