ENERGY STAR Clothes Washers
AT A GLANCE
What is ENERGY STAR?
¦	The U.S. govern merit-backed symbol of energy efficiency
¦	A program dedicated to identifying products that save energy
without sacrificing performance.
Why Buy ENERGY STAR Qualified Clothes Washers?
Save energy
¦	Qualified clothes washers use about 30% less energy compared to regular washers,
and they use about 50% less water.
Save money
¦	By dramatically reducing energy and water consumption, qualified clothes washers can
save about $50 in annual utility costs.
Save the environment
¦	By using less energy, qualified clothes washers reduce greenhouse gas emissions
caused by burning fossil fuels at power plants.
¦	By reducing water consumption, they help protect our lakes, streams, and oceans.
High-efficiency features
Many qualified clothes washer models incorporate high efficiency features such as:
¦	Higher capacity with front- and top-loading options without central agitators
¦	High-pressure spray rinsing that saves water compared to filling and draining the tub
¦	High-speed spin options that reduce drying time and energy usage
¦	Efficient motors and precise settings that can save energy and water
Share These Tips with Your Customers
Get the best performance from an ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washer and save
energy with the following practices:
¦	Switching the temperature setting from hot to warm can cut energy use in half for
washing one load. Using the cold cycle reduces energy use even more.
¦	Clothes washers use about the same amount of energy no matter what size the load,
so run a full load whenever possible.
¦	Choose the high spin speed or extended spin options to reduce the amount of
remaining moisture in your clothes. This will reduce the amount of time your clothes
take to dry.
¦	Air drying clothes helps them last longer and saves energy.
¦	Use high-efficiency detergent. Using regular detergent in front-loading washers will
create too many suds and lead to decreased washing and rinsing performance.
