If you are checking the GE M39I_2_N against the registry, here are its yearly figures at DOE's test use. It uses 558 kWh with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and 4,947 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, ranks 37th highest of 870 top-loading, standard-size models.
Energy and water per year
558 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
The machine and its hot water alone, dryer not included: 140 kWh a year, as ENERGY STAR files it.
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.
4,947 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.

This site calculates the 558 kWh figure; the registry does not publish it. We use the registry's IMEF of 2.06 and the capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 3.9, at DOE's yearly test use. Because IMEF counts the dryer, the total covers the washer, an electric water heater and an electric dryer. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 140 kWh a year. That figure covers the machine and its electrically heated water, without the dryer. The gap between the two figures is the dryer's share at test use. The registry data was retrieved 2026-10-25, and the same model is sold as GUD27EE*N***, GUD27GE*N***. The steps behind both numbers are set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The 4,947 gallons a year comes from the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model the IWF is 4.3. This site multiplies it by the 3.9 capacity at the same DOE yearly test use. The registry itself does not publish a yearly water total. This page does not give a cost for that water. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost here would be an estimate. Your own water bill and sewer charges will decide what these gallons cost in your home. The water figure measures volume under test conditions only.
Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this model's IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest. The median IMEF for the class is 1.57, so this model sits above the median. It is also rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, where 652 of the 870 models sit. The rank reflects DOE test conditions, not measured use in any one home. Running cost is not stated in this text because it depends on your own electricity tariff. The page calculates it from your ZIP instead. The installed price range in its own block is modeled, not a quote. Other models in the class are listed under all clothes washer pages.
