If you are checking the Maytag V19zBG52(3B) against the registry, this site computes 759 kWh a year at DOE's test use. That figure assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer; yearly water is 6,723 gallons. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above the class median of 1.57.
Energy and water per year
759 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: 270 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.
6,723 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 computes the 759 kWh figure; the registry does not publish it. It combines the registry's IMEF with the model's capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, here 5.3. Because IMEF counts the dryer, that yearly total includes the energy to dry each load. ENERGY STAR files a separate machine-only figure of 270 kWh a year. It covers the washer and its electrically heated water alone, with the dryer left out. The difference between the two figures comes from including the dryer in one and excluding it from the other. The registry lists this model as sold under MVW7232H**. The IMEF value comes from DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25. The page on how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated sets out the cycle count and the formula.

The 6,723 gallons yearly water figure is also this site's calculation, not a registry value. 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 multiplied by the 5.3 cubic-foot capacity and by DOE's yearly test cycles. The page does not state a water cost. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost figure would be an estimate. A reader can apply the local utility's water and sewer rate to 6,723 gallons directly. The electricity running cost is not in this text either. It depends on the reader's own utility tariff, so the page computes it from the reader's ZIP.
This model is compared with the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size. Its IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest of 870, and it sits above the class median of 1.57. Of those models, 652 are rated at the federal minimum IMEF for the class. This model is rated above that minimum; the minimum value itself is not given in this data. The rank reflects rated IMEF at DOE's test conditions only, not use in a particular home. The installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. Readers comparing other models in the class can start from all clothes washer pages.
