As a family of five, we do a ton of laundry in this house. Almost every day, either the washer or dryer (or both) are running to ensure that my husband, kids, and I have clean outfits to wear to work and school. When running my household, I try to be conscious about the energy usage. I like to save money when I can and keep our utility bill as small as possible. We already do things like washing our clothes in cold water and removing them from the dryer promptly to prevent having to tumble out wrinkles. What I recently found out, however, is that I can be doing even more to cut costs on my laundry tasks with ENERGY STAR® certified electronics and appliances from Best Buy.
With Best Buy committed to positively impacting the world around us, they provide customers with lots of options for sustainable products – including washer and dryers!
ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers and dryers save energy, allowing you to clean your clothes with less power than before. Their effective cleaning and drying methods shed time off the entire process, saving you money and time.
Also, your clothing is protected and will last longer with these products. ENERGY STAR washers use a variety of sophisticated cleaning methods that are gentler on your clothes, while ENERGY STAR clothes dryers use less heat and sensor drying which reduces wear and tear on clothes from over drying. So not only do you spend less on energy, you don’t have to replace worn out clothing as often either.

These certified washing machines are able to clean your clothing just as well as other models, but without the need to fill the entire tub and waste water. Their sophisticated wash system move the clothes around the tub and getting them clean with less water or detergent needed.
Also, higher spin speeds mean that more water is removed from the clothing before they leave the washer and head to the dryer. This results in less drying time, and therefore, lower energy costs when running your dryer.
About ENERGY STAR Dryers at Best Buy
Clothes dryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR use approximately 20% less energy than standard models. One reason for this is lower heat settings. The lower the heat, the less energy used – and the longer your clothing will last since it’s not blasted with high temperatures of air each time you toss them in the dryer.
Many ENERGY STAR dryers also include convenient features like a steam cycle. This helps prevent wrinkles so you aren’t tumbling the clothes or digging out your iron after every load of clothing is cleaned.

I would love to get some new appliances, especially a new washer and dryer.
