High-Efficiency Clothes Washers
Get a $50 Rebate
High-efficiency clothes washers use less water and remove more moisture from clothes during the spin cycle. This shortens the drying time and reduces wear and tear on your clothes while using less energy than standard clothes washers (those manufactured before 1994). Now get a $50 rebate.
