All our appliances are Bosch. Hot water is made by our geothermal pump (COP > 4) so I bought a dishwasher that can be configured for hot water service. That way water is never heated by electricity when washing dishes, only water pump runs which draws less than 100W.

When it comes to washing machine and tumble-drier: Typical washing machine uses ~1.2kWh per run. Typical electrically heated tumble-drier will use around 4kWh per run. Thus, there is no point optimizing washing machine as drier is the real power hog.

So we bought a heat-pump equipped tumble-drier that uses one third of ordinary one.
