If you are checking the Maytag V19zBG59(3B) against the registry, these are its yearly figures at DOE's test use. It uses 759 kWh of electricity with an electric water heater and an electric dryer, and 6,723 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.06, above its 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.

The registry does not print the 759 kWh figure. This site computes it from the model's IMEF of 2.06 and its capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 5.3, at DOE's yearly test use. The source is the DOE Compliance Certification Database, retrieved 2026-10-25, and the model is listed as sold under MVW7232H**. The method for the yearly energy and water figures sets out each step. The total assumes an electric water heater and an electric dryer. ENERGY STAR files a separate figure of 270 kWh a year for the machine and its electrically heated water alone. That figure leaves the dryer out, so the gap between 270 kWh and 759 kWh comes from the dryer's share under the test assumptions.

This site also computes the 6,723 gallons yearly figure. It uses the model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, of 4.3, together with its 5.3 capacity. The same yearly test use applies, so the figure reflects DOE's test conditions rather than any one household's laundry habits. The page states no cost for this water. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so any cost written here would be an estimate. A reader who knows the local combined rate can apply it to the 6,723 gallons volume directly. The IWF of 4.3 is the registry value; the yearly volume is this site's calculation from it.
Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this model's IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest. That places it above the class median of 1.57 and above the federal minimum IMEF for the class. By comparison, 652 of the 870 models in the class are rated at that federal minimum. The running cost of 759 kWh a year depends on the reader's own utility electricity tariff. For that reason the text does not state it; the page computes it from the reader's ZIP instead. The installed price range appears in its own block, with its source and date, as a modeled range and not a quote. Other models in this class are listed on the clothes washer pages.
