When washing clothing at home, consumers pay about 36 cents for the energy to run the washing machine for one load of laundry, 40 cents for energy for the dryer and 11 cents for water.

It has a lifespan of about nine and a half years, assuming that one load of clothing is washed per day. A dryer costs about $600 and lasts about 11 years.
