Technical Description
Look for ENERGY STAR-certified appliances when buying clothes washers or dish-washers. ENERGY STAR-certified clothes washers uses about 25% less energy and 40% less water than regular washers. An ENERGY STAR dish washer will save, on average, 1,600 gallons of water over its lifetime compared to a dishwasher built before 1994. Energy savings result from reduced hot water consumption.
