IMEF 1.25 filed efficiency; the yearly figure is computed from it
A compact top-loading washer (under 1.6 cubic feet). Drum: 1.1 cubic feet.
Checking the COSTWAY FP11222US-WH? With an electric water heater and electric dryer it uses 260 kWh a year at DOE's test use, and 3,732 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.25, equal to the class median of 1.25.
Energy and water per year
260 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.
3,732 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 above the federal minimum IMEF for its 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.

The yearly figure of 260 kWh covers the washer and a dryer together, because it assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer. This site computed it, not the registry. It starts from the registry's IMEF of 1.25 and a capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 1.1, then applies DOE's test use in cycles a year. The source is DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. A machine-only figure is not available for the COSTWAY FP11222US-WH. DOE files IMEF, which folds the dryer in, and only ENERGY STAR splits the machine out, but it lists this model under no matching rating. The calculation method is documented separately.
Water use is 3,732 gallons a year at DOE's test use. This site calculated it from the IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 11.5 and the capacity of 1.1 cubic feet. It describes this model's rated use under test conditions, not the reading on a household water meter. The cost of that water is not stated. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, and this page does not estimate one. Anyone checking a bill can apply their own utility's rates to the 3,732 gallons figure.
Read the rest
Among the 48 models registered as top-loading, compact, this washer's IMEF of 1.25 equals the class median of 1.25. The comparison covers that class only and says nothing about washers of other types or sizes. Running cost depends on your own electricity tariff, so the page computes it from your ZIP code instead of stating it in the text. An installed price range is not published either: the cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which only ENERGY STAR files. The clothes washer pages list other models in the registry.
