If you are verifying the QG QUALITY GLOBAL washer MFH180-G1302DS/F01E-US, sold as QGW45F1000W, it uses 492 kWh a year at DOE's test use. This assumes an electric water heater and electric dryer; the same use takes 4,342 gallons of water. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 2.76, the class median.
Energy and water per year
492 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.
4,342 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.

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 front-loading washers. That is a class assumption, not this model’s rating or a warranty — no registry publishes either.

Every clothes washer on file
All four product classes, from the DOE registry.
This site computed the 492 kWh figure from the registry's IMEF and capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 4.6 here. Those values come from DOE's Compliance Certification Database, retrieved on 2026-10-25, and the calculation assumes DOE's standard test use in cycles per year. Because IMEF folds the dryer in, the 492 kWh total covers washing, water heating and drying together under that electric setup. The washer's own share is not available, since only ENERGY STAR splits the machine out and it lists no matching rating for this model. The same gap means no installed price range is published here, because the cost database needs that machine-only yearly energy figure. Each step is set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated, including the test cycle count behind them.
Read the rest
The 4,342 gallons figure uses the model's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, which is 3.2. This site multiplied that factor by the 4.6 cubic foot drum at the same test use, so it is not a registry value. A water cost is not shown, because no free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, and none is estimated. Electricity cost is left out of the text for a similar reason: it depends on your own utility tariff. The page computes that cost from the ZIP code you enter, so no amount appears in this text.
This washer is compared with the 360 models registered as front-loading and standard size, where the median IMEF is 2.76. Its own IMEF of 2.76 equals that median, and it ranks 101st highest IMEF of 360 in the class. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, while 37 models in the class are registered at that minimum. The minimum value itself is not given in this data, so the gap between this model and the floor is not available. The rank reflects IMEF alone, so it says nothing about how this model's IWF of 3.2 compares with other washers. Other models in this class can be checked from all clothes washer pages, each built from the same registry data.
