Rated power can be different from average power while the appliance is running.
Voltage, automatic on-off cycling and equipment condition can change real use.
Use this as a budget estimate. The appliance label, how often it runs and all charges on your tariff determine the real bill.
Label energy per cycle is converted from weekly loads to a monthly planning value; the fallback uses power multiplied by cycle duration.
Select the actual programme, water-heating setting and loads per week because hot or long cycles can dominate consumption.
Rated watts are not the same as kWh per wash when the motor and heater cycle on and off.
Energy (kWh) = watts × quantity × hours × days × operating factor ÷ 1,000
