That will cost you a shit load of energy does it?
I wouldn't say it uses an unreasonable amount of power to run. I may be wrong, but a water heater and some pumps can't be more efficient other than insulation so it wouldn't waste power to heat the surrounding air.
Modern washing machines auto-balance the load, which negates the need for the massive weights you get inside older washing machines for stability. The motors in older ones also have to work harder because of this since it is trying to spin an unbalanced drum. I also assume modern ones have more efficient brushless motors etc.
The load balancing thing definitely applies to the front loading washing machines we have here, no idea about top-loading.
Ours is front loading, and I'm sometimes scared to take a dump in the same room when the thing is spinning full speed, as the dryer on top of it bounces and shakes aggressively, most likely due to the lack of auto balancing. I guess I didn't think of the inefficiencies there
Your washing machine is heating the water? It's not hooked up to the hot water supply? Maybe that's a Europe thing or something
I'm pretty sure it's a Europe thing too, as the washing machine and dishwasher heat their own water. Didn't know the US did it differently
Funny coincidence, I've recently watched a video by TechnologyConnections on dishwashers and thought about the hot water connection thing. Here in Europe our dishwashers are usually connected to hot water, whereas the washing machine is only connected to cold... wondered about that difference, too.
That's super interesting! I currently live in Norway, but I used to live in Lithuania, and for both countries I can say that it's common for dishwashers and washing machines to heat their own water. It's interesting to see how different countries have solved the "get hot water" problem for appliances.
not energy, but def water. modern wash machines are extremely water efficient. That may result in energy savings if you're using hot water. Modern detergent doesn't really need hot water though.
Interesting, never thougth that would be the issue.
