Question: What benefit is there in buying a high-efficiency washer?

Answer: HE (High-Efficiency) washers use 15 - 20 gallons of water per load, which will save you an average of $170 to $250 a year. Compare this to a conventional washer, which uses 40-45 gallons of water per load.

 -An HE washer requires less detergent than a conventional washing machine.

-Most HE washing machines do not have an agitator and do not beat the clothes to get them clean, which means your garments will last longer.

-Most HE washers have a sanitary cycle allowing for deep penetration of stains. This may reduce or eliminate the need to use bleach.
