A typical washing machine is nameplate rated at 10amps MAX. Assuming it runs at the full 10 amps and the machine runs for 30 mins: we do the math. Amps x Volts = Watts. 10A x 120V = 1200 watts. Avg. US electricity is $.08 per 1000watt-hours. At 30 minutes you're using 600 watt-hours. 0.6 x 0.08 = .048. So, about $.05 in electricity per load. The dryer is the electricity hawg. They can use up to 7000watts! If you run it for 1 hour, that's 7000 watt-hours. .08 x 7 = $0.56 . Still not bad. I've not been to a laundromat lately, but I'll assume a load will cost you about $1 or so to wash and higher to dry. In the long run, its cheaper to wash at home.
