Checking the GE Profile G50I_2_R against the registry? At DOE's test use, it takes 716 kWh of electricity a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, plus 6,342 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, the 37th highest of 870 in its class.
Energy and water per year
716 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: 158 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.
6,343 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.

The 716 kWh total is calculated by this site. The registry does not publish it. The calculation applies DOE's yearly test use to two registry values: an IMEF of 2.06 and a capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 5. Both values come from the DOE Compliance Certification Database (CCD), retrieved 2026-10-25. The total assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer. ENERGY STAR files a separate figure of 158 kWh. That figure covers only the machine and the electricity used to heat its water, without the dryer. The gap between 716 kWh and 158 kWh is therefore the dryer's share at the test use. This data has no figure for a home with a gas water heater or a gas dryer. The method is set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.

The 6,342 gallons figure is also this site's calculation. It uses the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, which is 4.3 for this model. That factor is combined with the 5 cubic feet of capacity and DOE's yearly test use. The result describes the washer at the test use, not the loads of any particular household. The cost of this water is not stated here. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost figure would be an estimate. The registry lists this model as sold under PTW600B*R***.
Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this washer's IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest. The class median IMEF is 1.57, so this model is above the median. Of the same 870 models, 652 are rated at the federal minimum IMEF for the class. This model is rated above that minimum. Other types and sizes are listed on all clothes washer pages. The text does not give a yearly running cost. That cost depends on the reader's own electricity tariff, so the page works it out from the reader's ZIP code. The installed price range has its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
