An efficient washer conserves both electricity and water. Energy Star certified washers save over 40% in energy and water consumption. Washers without a central agitator around which clothes are spun and with high spin speeds that leave less moisture in the clothes are the most efficient. Washing in cold water, always running full loads, choosing the shortest cycle, air-drying clothes, and using an HE (high efficiency) detergent can save energy and water consumption. Below is a sample of Energy Star certified products. To see all Energy Star certified products, visit Energy Star
