Typical electricity cost
How much does an Ironing Press cost to run?
Based on typical usage
An Ironing Press typically uses about 1,400 watts, costing around $0.21 per hour at $0.15 per kWh.
At typical use (0.6 hours per day), that's about $3.78 per month and $45.99 per year.
Based on
- 1,400 watts
- 0.6 hours per day
- $0.15 per kWh
What affects cost most
- Average hours used per day
- Electricity rate in dollars per kWh
- Cycle type, water temperature, and spin efficiency
How it works: Daily cost uses wattage, hours per day, and electricity rate. Monthly uses daily × 30; yearly uses daily × 365.

Get a better estimate and keep costs down
Defaults are a starting point. Real cost changes most when runtime, wattage, and your electricity rate differ from the benchmark assumptions.
What changes cost most
- Average hours used per day
- Electricity rate in dollars per kWh
- Cycle type, water temperature, and spin efficiency
How to get a better estimate and lower cost
- Replace the default electricity rate with the actual rate from your latest power bill.
- Adjust daily runtime to match how long you actually use the equipment.
- Press clothes in batches to avoid repeated warm-up cycles.
- Use the lowest effective temperature for each fabric type.
- Turn off the press during long pauses.
- Pre-sort garments by heat level for faster sessions.
