About CyclePick
An independent, spec-based guide to dishwashers, clothes washers and clothes dryers.
CyclePick is published by Informative Buy, a small independent business run by Gerardo Galicia in Venice, California. We built it because dishwashers, washers and dryers are still sold on brochure cycle claims and marketing efficiency language, while the legally certified numbers — annual energy use, water use, IMEF, IWF, Combined Energy Factor, and percent less energy than the U.S. federal standard — sit on ENERGY STAR records. Here, every product is compared on those official certified ratings, scored with a formula printed on the page, and linked back to its sources.
Today the site covers 3 categories, 122 products and 33 head-to-head comparisons, from standard-width dishwashers to front-load and top-load clothes washers and standard electric or gas dryers.
How we research
- Official ENERGY STAR records first. Scored specs come from ENERGY STAR certified-product records. Each product lists the exact record and dataset we used.
- No guessing. If a figure isn't published, we show "Not listed" and score it at the lowest published value in the category, never as average.
- A transparent formula. Weights and scales are on every comparison and on our How we rank page.
- Honest about limits. Our comparisons are research-based. We don't claim hands-on lab testing, and we don't publish made-up reviews, ratings or prices.
How we make money
CyclePick participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy through a "Check price" button, Amazon may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change the order of a ranking, and no brand can pay for placement. Details are in our affiliate disclosure.
