🍽️ Best Value Dishwash
15:10
SPEED wins by 13p over ECO, the next cheapest: it uses 4p more water, but saves 17p of electricity, because it draws the same power in a cheaper window (22.1p a kWh against 27.5p). Every setting at its own cheapest window, under the prices still to come:
The cheapest window for SPEED starts Tue 15:00 and runs 4 half hours, where the Agile price averages 22.1p a kWh.
| electricity | 3.11 kWh × 22.1p a kWh | 69p |
|---|---|---|
| water | 38 litres × 0.42p a litre | 16p |
| total | shown as 85p | 85p |
The kWh and litres are estimates, scaled from the manual's figures for Normal; water is £4.2067 a cubic metre with sewerage.
| wait | 0.0h | until the window opens |

| run | 2.0h | what the machine says this setting takes |
| set | 2.0h | on the machine's “finish in” timer |
Nothing has measured how much water Eco's drying actually saves. The gap between these two settings is a few pence and all of it is that guess, so if Eco saves no water the other one wins.
