Where this ranks
That's 34.1% above the washing machine category average of 123 kWh/yr, and ranks 354 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 $8/year over 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 Samsung WA52B76A ($31/yr, 165 kWh/yr), and one step pricier is Samsung WA52T76A ($31/yr, 165 kWh/yr).
Within the Samsung lineup
Samsung makes 66 ENERGY STAR certified washing machines; this one ranks 63 of 66 for running cost, between the brand's cheapest, the WF45T60A at $17/yr, and its priciest, the WA54R76A at $31/yr.
Samsung WA52M77A over 10 years
NAHB's Study of Life Expectancy of Home Components puts a typical washing machine's service life at 10 years; run the Samsung WA52M77A that long and it costs about $310 in electricity, on top of whatever it cost to buy.
Weighing a replacement
The Samsung WA52M77A runs above its category average. If the washing machine you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $31/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
Protecting what you have
At $31/year just to run, a washing machine is worth protecting against an unplanned repair bill on top of that.
