Washing Machine Energy Estimations

from blog Two-Wrongs, | ↗ original
What draws power in a washing machine is probably (a) heating water, and (b) running a motor. So to figure out a better estimation method, we can include configured temperature and centrifuge speed in the table, as well as how long the machine thinks the configuration will run for. The difference between configurations D and E isn’t shown in the table, but in E the “Eco mode” was activated.22 And it did indeed reduce the average power draw...
