Costway FP11223US-GR

260 kWh a year DOE CCD (opens in a new tab) (the U.S. Department of Energy’s Compliance Certification Database) · 2026-10-25

with an electric water heater and an electric dryer

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 FP11223US-GR? It uses 260 kWh of electricity a year at DOE's test use, counted with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. It uses 3,732 gallons of water a year at the same use. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.25, equal to its class median.


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.

Safety record

No CPSC recall names this model.

Checked against the CPSC recall database. CPSC does not publish a model-level match for this product category, so this list is curated by hand from the manufacturer's recall filings.

What these figures mean

The 260 kWh figure is calculated by this site. The registry does not file it. It combines the registry's IMEF of 1.25 with the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 1.1. The calculation uses the yearly cycle count in DOE's test procedure. The figure assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and IMEF includes the dryer's energy. There is no published figure for the washer alone. DOE's database files only IMEF, which includes the dryer. ENERGY STAR is the source that separates out the washer's own energy, but it lists no matching rating for this model. For the same reason, no installed price range is available, because the cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy. The calculation steps are explained on how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated. The registry data was retrieved on 2026-10-25.

Read the rest

The 3,732 gallons a year is also calculated by this site, not filed by the registry. It uses the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 11.5. The site applies that IWF to the 1.1 cubic-foot capacity over the same yearly test cycles used for the energy figure. This page does not show a cost for that water. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost here would be an estimate. A reader who knows their local water and sewer rate can apply it to the 3,732 gallons themselves. The gallon figure assumes DOE's test use. A household running a different number of loads a year will use a different amount, and this page does not have that amount.

The COSTWAY FP11223US-GR is compared with the 48 models registered as top-loading, compact. Its IMEF of 1.25 is equal to the class median of 1.25. By IMEF, it ranks 15th highest among those 48 models. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, while 12 models in the class are rated at that minimum. A higher IMEF means more laundry washed per kilowatt-hour under the same test. This text does not state a yearly running cost. That cost depends on the reader's own electricity rate, so the page calculates it from the reader's ZIP code instead. Other washers in this and other classes are listed under all clothes washer pages.
