It’s laundry day again. Doing laundry can consume a lot of water and electricity, so how can you save energy when washing your clothes? With an energy-efficient washing machine, of course.
What does washing machine energy efficiency mean?
Energy efficiency is about reducing energy consumption, from water temperature to the amount of water used per load. Most electricity consumed by a washing machine is used to heat up water, so machines that consume less energy by washing laundry at cooler temperatures are considered energy efficient. Not only that, but many have a sensor system to detect the size of the load and adjust the amount of water needed, which conserves both water and electricity — as using less water means there’s less water being heated. It’s important to look for these kinds of features when you’re searching for the perfect energy saver, because this is how you can save energy when washing your clothes.

What is an A-rated washing machine, and how do you read the new energy labels?
Energy ratings for washing machines are designed to let you know the level of energy efficiency before you buy. These ratings have recently been revised to go from the most energy-efficient, A, to the least efficient, G — simple, right? But that’s not all the information the new energy labels have.

Want to reduce your energy consumption?
Already have an eco-friendly washing machine? Here are some ways you can save more energy.
Use high spin speeds to reduce dryer time
Why? Higher spin speeds mean more moisture will be removed and your laundry will be less wet by the time it reaches the dryer. The less wet your laundry, the less energy the dryer needs to fully dry your clothes — and the less time your laundry spends in your energy-efficient dryer.
Wash slightly dirty laundry at cooler temperatures
Did you know washing clothes in hot water uses more energy? If your clothes are only a bit soiled, take this chance to save energy by washing them in cold water temperatures. With innovative technology like AI Energy Mode4, you can have peace of mind knowing your laundry will be fresh and clean while reducing energy use by up to 70%5.
