Checking the Smad MFH180-G1302DS/F01E-US, sold as DWF-180A13LBM? At DOE's test use, it takes 721 kWh of electricity and 6,239 gallons of water a year, with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. Its IMEF, the cubic feet of laundry washed per kilowatt-hour, dryer included, is 1.84: exactly the federal minimum for front-loading, standard-size washers.
Energy and water per year
721 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.
6,239 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. 323 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 front-loading washers. That is a class assumption, not this model’s rating or a warranty — no registry publishes either.

The 721 kWh figure is calculated by this site, not by the registry. It uses the registry's IMEF of 1.84 and a capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, of 4.5, at DOE's test number of cycles a year. IMEF includes the dryer, so the total covers drying the load as well as washing it and heating its water. The dryer's share for this model is not available. DOE's database, retrieved 2026-10-25, publishes no machine-only figure. ENERGY STAR is the only source that lists the machine on its own, and it has no matching rating for this model. The figure applies only with an electric water heater and an electric dryer. For other setups this page gives no figure. See how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The 6,239 gallons a year comes from the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum. For this model, IWF is 4.7. This site multiplies it by the 4.5 cubic-foot drum and by DOE's test number of cycles a year. It is a test-use figure, so a household that runs more or fewer loads will use a different amount. The cost of that water is not stated. No free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, so this page puts no price on 6,239 gallons. Your local water utility's rate sheet can give you the rate to apply.
The 360 models registered as front-loading and standard size have a median IMEF of 2.76. This model's 1.84 is below that median and exactly at the federal minimum for the class. It shares that minimum with other models: 37 models in the class are rated at it. Because they tie, this page gives no rank for this model within that group. Running cost is not written here because it depends on your utility's electricity tariff. The page calculates it from your ZIP instead. No installed price range is published either. The cost database needs the washer's own yearly energy, which is not filed for this model, as noted above. You can compare other models on the clothes washer pages.
