EU Dryer Energy Label Checker

Choose each label scale, class, capacity and printed energy figure. Identify mismatched measurement bases without inventing a class conversion.

Inputs
Enter kWh/year for old labels; kWh/100 cycles for new labels.

  • Do not treat the per-cycle arithmetic as an efficiency or savings comparison. Old annual figures include low-power consumption and use different test methods.
  • New A–G labels apply from 1 July 2025 and show eco-programme energy per 100 cycles. Old A+++–D annual labels use 160 cycles plus low-power modes.
  • A changed letter alone does not show that the appliance changed. Verify the model identifier and new product information sheet in EPREL. This checker covers electric standalone tumble dryers, not washer-dryers or gas models.

How it works

The old A+++–D label reports annual energy for 160 cycles plus low-power consumption. The new A–G label applies from 1 July 2025 and reports eco-programme kWh per 100 cycles. Divide by 160 or 100 only to inspect the arithmetic basis; this is not a conversion between test methods or efficiency classes.

Compare models using the same scale, programme and suitable capacity. Per-cycle figures display to four decimals with no intermediate rounding. This checker does not assess repairability scores.

Worked examples

Different scales

Old 160 kWh/year and new 100 kWh/100 cycles both divide to 1 kWh per cycle. They remain different measurement bases, so equal arithmetic does not prove equal efficiency.

Same new basis

New figures of 100 and 120 kWh/100 cycles divide to 1 and 1.2 kWh per cycle. At equal capacity, they share the new label basis.

Frequently asked questions

Does A+++ become C?
There is no universal letter conversion. Check the model’s rescaled label in EPREL.
Did my dryer become less efficient?
A new letter by itself does not show any physical change to the machine.
Can I divide old annual kWh by 160?
Only as an arithmetic indicator. The annual figure also includes low-power modes.
Does the result predict my bill?
No. Actual programmes, load and drying level affect consumption.
