Bucket-test your washer too!
"Bucket-testing" works great for anything that uses water.
For a clothes washer, have several 5-gallon buckets ready for when the wash cycle empties, and again for when the spin cycle pumps out the rinse water.
Using this method, I found that my old washer used 35-40 gallons, but the new one uses almost exactly 20.
I bought the front-loading washer used (w/ matching dryer). The cost will be paid for in 1 year in savings on my water bill alone.
It still surprises me that many clothes washers now come with Energy Star ratings, yet I have never seen the specs for the washer in the store actually list how much water they use!
