Yes they do. Although there are now several brands (including a few cheap ones) of high efficiency washers available. Also consider washing your entire familys clothing together (instead of multiple loads of the same colors) using a baby friendly detergent like ALL FREE AND CLEAR or Dreft.

It's not the washer alone. You have a leak, and if you are running more pressure through your pipes, the leak will be worse and cause higher water consumption. A faucet that drips only 10 times in a minute will use about a gallon of water in a day. If it drips one time per second for a minute, you will use 7 gallons a day. Get the leak fixed!

I have a Whirlpool Duet washer. No water level selector but it somehow "knows" how much laundry is in washer and determines water accordingly. I have noticed that since I bought the new washer my water bill has gone down a bit.

Does a bear poop in the woods? Yes, extra loads of laundry will run your bill up, but some new washers use less water and energy.

Average top-loading washer uses between 40 and 60 gallons of water per load.
