Older top loader washing machines generally use more water and energy, this is why more modern and energy efficient designs are front loaders. A washing machine will use 400 to 1300 watts, with modern Energy Star rated models using about 500 watts. Click calculate to find the energy consumption of a clothes washer using 500 Watts for 0.25 hours a day @ $0.10 per kWh. This is the same as washing twice a week for 52.5 minutes each time.
Conventional top-loading washing machines use 39 to 43 gallons of water per load. High efficiency models such as front-loading washers can greatly reduce water use.
