- WTW7120H**
If you are checking the Whirlpool V19zAG54(3B), sold as WTW7120H**, this is the yearly use. It is 759 kWh 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 and ranks 37th highest of 870 top-loading standard-size models.
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: 263 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 energy figure of 759 kWh a year is not a registry value. This site computed it from the registry's IMEF and its capacity, the drum's volume in cubic feet, which is 5.3 for this model, using DOE's test use for yearly cycles. It includes an electric water heater and an electric dryer, so the dryer's energy is inside the total. ENERGY STAR files a smaller figure, 263 kWh a year, for the machine and its electrically heated water alone, with the dryer not included. Both figures follow DOE's test use rather than a household's actual laundry. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-10-25. The method is set out in how the yearly energy and water figures are calculated.
Read the rest
The water figure of 6,723 gallons a year comes from the registry's IWF, the gallons of water used per cycle for each cubic foot of drum, which is 4.3 for this model. This site multiplied it by the capacity of 5.3 cubic feet and by DOE's test use for yearly cycles. It is a volume at test conditions, not a measured household total. The cost of that water is not stated, because no free national source publishes local water and sewer rates, and this page does not estimate it. The electricity running cost depends on the reader's own utility tariff, so the page computes it from the ZIP code entered, and the text states no amount.
Among the 870 models registered as top-loading, standard size, this model's IMEF of 2.06 ranks 37th highest, above the class median of 1.57. It is rated above the federal minimum IMEF for its class, while 652 of the 870 models sit at that minimum. The count at the minimum and the median describe the class, not this model, so they serve as context for the rank. Rank and median compare IMEF only; they say nothing about water use, price or how the machine performs in a home. The IMEF gap to the models ranked just above and below is not available in this data.
