About the Beko DDT38530 series
The Beko DDT38530 series is a 12 place settings standard dishwasher certified by ENERGY STAR. Its official test figure is 225 kWh of electricity a year, which at the U.S. average price of 18.19¢ per kWh comes to $41 a year, or $409 over a typical 10-year life.
That is 27% less energy than the federal maximum for this type of dishwasher (307 kWh a year), a saving of about $15 a year compared with a model that only just meets the standard.
Among 616 standard models it ranks #78 for running cost. The cheapest model of this type would save $45 in electricity over 10 years, though it may differ in size and features.
