When it comes to choosing a washing machine, considering its electricity consumption is crucial for many. So, how do you calculate the amount of electricity a household washing machine consumes?
The power consumption determines the electricity bill for your household, calculated as follows:
Where:
W: electricity consumption (Kwh)
P: Power consumption of the appliance (Kw) (this figure will be specifically stated in W unit beside the washing machine)
t: Duration of the washing machine operation (Hours)
So, if you choose to buy a washing machine with a power rating of 2200W, equivalent to 2.2Kw, it means that if used continuously for one hour, the electricity consumption will be: W = 2.2Kw*1=2.2Kwh
If the price of 1 Kwh is 2000 Vietnamese dong, then the electricity bill you have to pay for 1 hour of washing machine operation is: 2000*2.2 = 4400 Vietnamese dong.
Among the variety of washing machines, top-load washing machines usually consume less electricity compared to front-load washing machines. Nevertheless, front-load washing machines bring about modern washing technologies and outstanding features. Nowadays, most washing machine brands introduce energy-saving washing machines that many people trust and choose.
