$550 | $1110 |
| Cost to Use for First Two Years* | $1,200 |

Total Cost After Second Year of Use | $1750 |
$1500 | *Based on average
of 8 loads per week with average utility rates, detergent costs, and average maintenance
compared to a traditional top load agitator washer. Different numbers can be shown
based on your rates and usage. If you know you will be using your washer
for at least two years, it will cost you less money to invest in a Staber commercial
washer—a decision that can provide you with a 30% annual return every year
you own the washer. Getting More for Your Money: The Second Price Tag
When buying a clothes washer, it can be helpful to think of two price tags. The
first price tag is the price paid to purchase the washer. The second price tag
is the cost to operate the washer over its lifetime. Based on the above example,
if you save an average of around $350 each year it is obvious which washer would
cost you less money. Translating Energy Savings Energy
Saved... 800 kWh of electricity is: - Enough to run a
clothes washer 400 times, or 8 free loads of laundry every week for a year
- Enough
to leave a 60-watt light on for 20 months
- The same as running a new refrigerator
for 14 months
Translating Water Savings Most
of the energy consumed by clothes washers is used to heat the water. The System
2000 saves up to 9,000 gallons or more of water per year. This is the same amount
used to: - Flush a typical new toilet 6,000 times
- Take 720 5-minute
showers
