    Having a newer machine cost me slightly less money on utilities, and considerably more in washing machine parts.

      For me the savings on the electrical bill will be more than what I spent on the machine before the warranty is over.

        Doubt.

        My electric bill changed by less than $2 per month when I installed an “inefficient” washing machine. It was so little that I’m not sure the washer was the cause. That’s $72 over a period of three years. The machine it replaced was just out of warranty and needed a $200 drain pump.

          I suspect the diffence here is what we pay for electricity. It is quite expensive in Europe. I pay around 0,35 euro per 1 kWh.
