Checking the BLACK+DECKER MAR30-0301P/01M-US, sold as BPWM09W? It uses 231 kWh of electricity a year at DOE's test use, with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and 3,186 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.15, exactly the federal minimum for its class.
Energy and water per year
231 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer
Computed by this site from the registry's IMEF and drum capacity at DOE's test use of 295 cycles a year. IMEF counts the washer, heating its water electrically, and the electric dryer's work on what the spin leaves wet — so this is the total for that kind of home. How it is calculated
Not published: The washer's own share, without the dryer
DOE's database files IMEF, which folds the dryer in; only ENERGY STAR splits the machine out, and it lists this model under no matching rating.
The total above, and the IMEF it comes from, stand as filed.
Not published: A home with a gas water heater, a gas dryer or line drying
DOE's rating assumes electric water heating and an electric dryer and files no split between the machine, the water heating and the drying.
Such a home uses less electricity than the total above; how much less, no registry says for this model.
3,186 gallons of water a year
Computed from the registry's IWF and drum capacity at the same 295 cycles a year.
Not published: What the water costs
water and sewer rates are set by thousands of local utilities and no free national source publishes them.
The gallons above are the figure to multiply by your own water and sewer rate.
This model is rated exactly at the federal minimum IMEF for its class, like many others; no rank is claimed inside that tie.
What you can do. Federal minimum means this model uses as much energy as the law allows for its class. 36 washers in the same class file a higher IMEF; at the same drum size and use, a higher IMEF is less energy a year. See the most efficient washers in each class

Installed cost and service life
Not published: Installed cost range
NLR REMDB's cost model needs the washer's own yearly energy use, which only ENERGY STAR files — and it lists no matching rating for this model.
Ask retailers or installers for a written quote that names this model number. The yearly energy, water and running cost on this page do not depend on it.
Service life: DOE’s cost database assumes 11 years for top-loading washers. That is a class assumption, not this model’s rating or a warranty — no registry publishes either.

This site calculated the 231 kWh figure; the registry did not file it. The calculation takes the registry's IMEF of 1.15 and a capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 0.9, then applies DOE's test use. IMEF includes the dryer, so this yearly total covers the energy to dry each load as well as wash it. The total also assumes an electric water heater and applies only to that setup. There is no machine-only figure for this model. DOE's database does not separate the washer's own share. Only ENERGY STAR does that, and it lists no matching rating for the MAR30-0301P/01M-US. The inputs were retrieved from DOE's Compliance Certification Database on 2026-10-25. The steps are described on the page about how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

This site also calculated the 3,186 gallons figure. The calculation uses IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model the filed IWF is 12. That value is combined with the 0.9 cubic foot capacity at the same DOE test use as the energy figure. So the gallon total describes that test use only. It does not describe a household that runs a different number of loads. This page does not state what that water costs. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so the page gives no estimate. A reader who knows their local water and sewer rate can apply it to the 3,186 gallons figure.
The MAR30-0301P/01M-US is compared with the 48 models registered as top-loading, compact. The median IMEF in that group is 1.25, and this model is rated at 1.15. A higher IMEF means more laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, so this model sits below the class median. 12 models in the class are rated exactly at the federal minimum IMEF, and this one is among them. The page claims no rank within that tie. No installed price range is available. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which is missing for the reason given above. The text also leaves out running cost. That cost depends on your own utility electricity tariff, so the page calculates it from your ZIP code. Other models are listed on the full list of clothes washer pages.
