A:Answer Hey there, Case. The LG - 5.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Top Load Washer with TurboWash3D Technology, Model #WT7300CV, unlike standard washers high-efficiency washers operate on low water wash and rinse cycles which makes them ultra-efficient. On average, high-efficiency washers use only 20 to 66 percent of the water typically used in a standard washer. Hope this helps! ^Anthony
