How much electricity does washer-dryer use? Electricity bill increase | Samsung WD70M4443JS

Do washer-dryers consume lot of electricity? How much does the electricity bill increase? How much electricity does a washer and dryer use? Do dryers use a lot of electricity? I've received all of these questions in my videos on washer-dryers
I moved to a Samsung washer-dryer WD70M4443JS/WD70M4443JW a few months ago. This video covers how you can calculate the electricity consumption with the washer dryer.
In my previous video series - I compared a Bosch, Hafele, Midea, Samsung and new equator washer-dryer models. After I did that comparison, I went ahead and purchased a Samsung washer dryer as well. I also did a demo and review of the Samsung 7kgs-5kgs washer dryer. I've linked to the playlist below.

*What's more important for you? Convenience OR Cost?* Tell me - Saumya

[@SivaPraveenRayapudi]

Long term cost efficiency!

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

True that’s priority for quite a few. For me - atleast with this - convenience overrides the cost 😊

[@74osho]

Neither…. what’s important is that you lose that black T-shirt now that you have a new washer dryer 😁

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

😂😂😂 its more beneficial now as I can wash and wear immediately after 😂😂😂

[@74osho]

@@TheGrapevineIndia now that I have your attention, why not just get the 10.5/7 kg LG and do laundry half as many times/week? Wouldn’t that be more convenient? Also, I have enough room for four of these dinosaurs but am looking for an integrated machine so I don’t have to move the damn load from one machine to another…. just more convenient, I didn’t have this option in the US.

[@kartikav4834]

You have made it very simple to understand and calculate. Thanks Saumya

Much needed review. Thank you. I even ordered Samsung Washer Dryer after seeing your review. Hope I have a good experience.

[@anitakate7274]

It's a professional video.... more real n authentic👍👍👍. Soumya can we run the washer dryer on LPG gas cylinder to cut short the electricity bill?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Anita, thanks 😊 I don’t think that provision is there - it needs to connect to a 15A plug, unless electricity in your house is powered by LPG, may not be possible.

[@arkamitra2013]

Hi, thanks for the detailed analysis just one question in the electricity per wash did you assume the complete drying cycle? Or just regular wash?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi, the complete drying cycle.

[@preetishhs]

Great Video. Helpful. I think the newer Samsung washer dryers are much more energy efficient. I have WD90T654DBX 9Kg/6Kg. According to the smart things app It consumes just around 3kwh per (wash + dry) 1hr wash + 2hr dry. Not sure about the electicity bill increase as its just been 2 weeks.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Preetish HS! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Three units for a wash and dry sounds about right. It's not about efficiency. Her washer dryer likely consumes similar but she has not used any device to measure the power but quoted directly from the manual. Those figures for some reason are much higher than would be measured by proper meters like the Meco 16A power meter that comes calibrated and is able to measure RMS, unlike smart plugs which should strictly be avoided for this purpose.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

2:18 I still don't understand where the figures for 10 units or 7 units come from. Having downloaded the manual for your model and browsed every page it's only on the last page where we see power consumption and the max listed there is 2 units at 220V to wash and dry which sounds about right.

[@kunalkalra10]

Hi Sowmya.Thanks for really nice video on washer dryer. I am planning to buy one.Is samsung one that you bought is worth buying or you have any other recommendations.Really appreciate if you can help here.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Kunal, the Samsung one I bought is quite good. But it is small - ideal for 2-3 people. If you have more, go for a slightly larger size like this amzn.to/3B8wAXu

[@SivaPraveenRayapudi]

I am exactly looking for this. doing my own research! From where did you get the kWh usage? Is it mentioned anywhere or you measured it with your washer-dryer ?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Siva! Yes you will find it in the manual. It will be split by wash-rinse/spin-dry cycles. Dry has the highest kwh.

[@kunalkalra10]

2000W

[@rohitdodu]

Hey , is a comparison possible with the equator machine , which i saw has on option to dry 30% faster . That would be a big cost saving for the same convenience right ?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Rohit, yes - since majority of the electricity is consumed in the dry cycle - you can expect 30% lower bill. Based on what their cycle time is - it can be calculated.

[@VindyMay]

❤You are awesome❤

[@harishrajagopalan9593]

Hi, Thank you for the video. What does Heating vs non heating mean? Is heating both washing and drying and non heating is washing alone?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi, non heating is only for washing. Drying will always use heat.

[@Margikhandor]

Which washer dryer to buy in 2024?

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Can you tell us how you measured the power consumption? What device did you use? I find three extra units just for a heated wash to be exorbitant. The most a 60-degree wash takes on my LG is half a unit. That is a wash only btw and the machine was bought in 2016

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

From the published numbers from Samsung.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

@@TheGrapevineIndia Ah so you did not directly measure then. I find them very high. You might be surprised if you do measure. Get the Meco power meter 16A. Smart plugs aren't accurate

[@rajsrivastav6940]

@@TheGrapevineIndia is steam wash worth it?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Yes! I do use it to steam out comforters or delicate clothes that I may have given for dry cleaning. I also use it at times when I have inadvertently overloaded the machine and clothes don’t dry completely. Then a quick 1 hr air wash (that’s what it’s called in Samsung) does the job of drying.

[@rajsrivastav6940]

@@TheGrapevineIndia thanks

[@vigneshwaranseenivasan3258]

This is something i never paid attention until now Saumya. But to be true here in TN, the unit cost is quiet low. Some initial units are free(upto 200) and after that we have to pay. With wash cycle for almost daily with AC other what so electronic running, my bill tops maximum 1300 bi monthly. This may not be the case for apartment systems i guess. Is it monthly bill payment over your place Saumya?.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Vigneshwaran, yeah it is monthly billing. And mind you - at my place, we barely use the AC and I only use my washer dryer 2-3 times a week. We don't have that many electricity guzzlers. Inspite of that the bill is so high. :(

[@IornManofIndia]

Hello, If we use only Washer by how much % electricity consumption is expected? Same as other washing machine in same range?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Sudip - yes, approximately the same. The extra electricity is for drying.

[@channel-gd6pr]

If you have a wifi internet at home then you can simply use a good smart power plug, which will show you how much power is being during each step in real time and overall monthly consumption.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

They are not reliable for power measurement. Thet are fine as programmable switches

[@maheenzohra6998]

Saumaya what about Bosch washer dryer.. isn't it worth than samsung and lg.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Maheen Zohra! Specs are similar, so you can consider it.

[@NitinSharma-ly9so]

Are you an MBA? Or in consulting? Just curious. Your analysis is well structured

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Nitin, yes for MBA, used to be a consultant too. Now in marketing 😊

[@ommasish]

Innovations are ON , the electricity consumption can be reduced with inverter technology... washer drier is not for India and technology not matured.. it most for the country or geographical area which covered with snow, very cold weather. If you compund the additional electricity bill for 10Years , its a huge money. I suggest to go for a machine with higher rpm like 1400.

[@nayantyagi]

Which machine did you bought ? Model number ?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Nayan, I've linked to it in the description!

[@nayantyagi]

@@TheGrapevineIndia oh 😅 thankyou

[@raghunathgb5975]

Most of the washing machines use .062 to .070 units per kg per wash cycle(offcourse it depends on clothes). For a 8 kg wash cycle it comes to roughly around .5 to .6 units. This was purely for washing machine. However for dryer you have quoted a figure of 7 units and 10 units which looks very very high. It looks like misunderstanding in my opinion, can you please check it again.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Yup, that’s from the manual

[@yadavapurva]

I wash 2 cycles everyday. Once a week even 3 cycles. Do you think it will increase my bills crazy ?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Aviraaj, With the washer dryer, yes it could increase. Think of it as consuming approximately 7kwh without heating per wash. So if the per unit cost is 8 rupees in your area, per wash cost is about Rs. 56.

[@LordBagdanoff]

How long does the dryer take?

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Bi Han, in the washer dryer, depending on the load - anywhere between 4-5 hours. In a standalone dryer, it can work in about 2-3 hours.

[@tanupatil4795]

Good reviews. But one thing you could have done is , directly put a electricity meter to washer dryer and record for 1 clothing washing cycle

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Tanu! Thank you 😊 True, that can be done. But not everyone will have electricity meter - so wanted to help others to calculate on their own too 😊

U shown bill without washer dryer is 2k. But does that mean it was hand washing. Earlier also you must be using washing machine only na.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Washing machine without heating.

[@nithinbabu2957]

I am not sure but you are calculating under the assumption that the washing machine only work for 1 hr infact washing hr is more that 2 or 3hr right so for correct current consumption you need to multiple total number of wrking hr with total cost per month.

[@TheGrapevineIndia]

Hi Nithin babu! I'm using the per cycle consumption in auto mode.

Hi Nikhat, I would be lying if I say there are no wrinkles. :) It does have more wrinkles than you would if you air dry your clothes. I have noticed if you remove clothes immediately after wash and use a slightly lower spin speed - it is less wrinkled.
