Checking the Inglis V17nMh54(3B)? At DOE's test use, it uses 658 kWh a year with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and 6,711 gallons of water a year. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.57, the federal minimum for its class.
Energy and water per year
658 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.
6,711 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. 218 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 yearly 658 kWh with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. The registry does not file it. The calculation combines the model's IMEF of 1.57 with its capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 3.5, at DOE's test use. IMEF includes the dryer, so this total covers washing, water heating and drying together. A figure for the machine alone is not available for this model. Only ENERGY STAR separates the washer's own share, and it lists no matching rating for V17nMh54(3B). The inputs come from DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. The registry lists the model as sold under ITW4871F**. The steps are set out on the page explaining how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The yearly water figure of 6,711 gallons at DOE's test use is also this site's own calculation. It starts from the model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 6.5. That is applied to the 3.5 cubic foot drum across the same test use as the energy figure. The page does not show what this water costs. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so no charge is estimated for the 6,711 gallons a year. A reader who knows the local water and sewer rates can apply them to this yearly volume themselves. Any cost worked out that way depends on those local rates, not on data from the registry.
The comparison class is the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size. Their median IMEF is 1.57, the same value as this model's IMEF of 1.57. Of those 870 models, 652 are rated exactly at the federal minimum IMEF for the class, and this model is one of them. The page does not rank models within that tie. The yearly running cost is not stated in this text. It depends on the reader's own electricity tariff, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP. The installed price range is not available. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which is missing here because there is no ENERGY STAR rating, as noted above. Other models are listed under all clothes washer pages.
