Dryers will be expected to have a higher combined energy factor rating between 2.02-4.33 pounds per kilowatt hour. For washers, the energy efficiency ratios range between 2.12-5.52 lb/kWH per cycle, and would require a minimum water efficiency ratio of between 0.27-0.77 pounds per gallon per cycle.
