I have been to several sites and determined that depending on the site, I have found from 4.50 to over $5 per month to use your dishwasher per the site. Two of the sites both stated, does not include using hot water. I just can't see that is right. I am not saying that it runs a ton but my dishwasher runs almost an hour (without the drying cycle) If you ran anything for an hour every day sometimes twice a day you are going to spend more than that in a month. here is the specific from one site:
item age kw cost how much
Dishwasher - 15 years old 2000 66 load
Dishwasher - new 2000 34 load
Since my dishwasher is between those ages I went between them and took .43 per load. If I did one load per day for 30 days I just spent $12.90. How do they get on some sites $4.50 a month? and that does not include water.
