    I’m a tad embarrassed that I cannot figure this one out, but ho hum…

    Looking at the manual (pp27) for our dishwasher (Kenwood KDW45X13), there is a column labelled ‘energy consumption kWh’.

    I am trying to understand the relative energy consumption of the full Eco cycle (0.84 kWh) and the full Rapid cycle (0.4 kWh).

    Is it as simple as comparing 0.84 to 0.4 (ie the entire cycle consumes ~2x energy)?
    or
    Do I need to multiply by the length of the cycle (ie 0.84*175*(1/60) = 2.45 and 0.4*30*(1/60) = 0.2; the entire cycle consumes ~12x energy)?

    a unit of electicity is 1 KWH so if you run a 1000w fire for an hour it uses 1 unit of electric

    your eco cycle uses 0.84 Kwh or 84{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of a unit
    the rapid cycle uses 0.4 Kwh which is 40{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of a unit

    so based on a unit price of say 50p the eco cycle costs 42p and the rapid cost 20p

    Thank you so much!

    I suspected that was the case but started to second guess myself (as is clear from my ramble above haha)
