CLOTHES WASHERS

ENERGY STAR® CLOTHES WASHERS USE 40% LESS ENERGY
AND WATER COMPARED TO REGULAR WASHERS.

WHAT MAKES THEM SO EFFICIENT?

•	NO CENTRAL AGITATOR. Front-loaders tumble clothes through a small
amount of water instead of rubbing clothes against an agitator in a full
tub. Advanced top-loaders use sophisticated wash systems to flip or
spin clothes through a reduced stream of water. Both designs reduce
the amount of hot water used in the cycle and the energy used to heat it.

•	HIGH SPIN SPEEDS. Efficient motors spin clothes 2-3 times faster during
the spin cycle to extract more water and result in less time and energy
in the dryer.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

•	SAVE MONEY. By dramatically reducing energy and water consumption,
these units can cut utility bills by $50 per year.

•	SAVE TIME. Without a bulky agitator there is more useable space in
the tub for laundry. More capacity also means fewer loads of laundry
each week.

•	SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT. Because they use less energy, these products
reduce the air pollution and greenhouse gases caused by burning fossil
fuels. By reducing water consumption, they also help protect our lakes,
streams and oceans.

•	SAVE YOUR CLOTHES. Instead of twisting and pulling clothes around a
turning agitator, these products wash clothes gently. This lengthens the
life of often-washed items.
