The power consumption of Speed Queen washers will vary significantly dependent on the model. However, I do have a power consumption measurement from a Speed Queen Homestyle top-load washing machine.
First Example: Extra-Clean Cycle
- Load size: Largest/Extra Large.
- Setting: Extra Clean (not permanent press, but the longest aggressive cycle the machine has).
- Energy usage (from the initial tub fill to the final spin cycle): 0.17 kWh.
- Hot water: No. This machine does not have a built-in water heater.
- Cost per load (at the U.S. national average electricity rate of $0.13/kWh): $0.0221 USD.
- Cost to do 30 loads per month: $0.66 USD per month.
More examples and measurements are on the way.
