Wallwarts & TVs have quiescent power limits, but I don't remember any efficiency requirement.


Freezers, refrigerators, dryers, furnaces & ACs, anything with a motor...
all currently have or will have efficiency goals (requirements may
be the wrong term) in order to get that coveted "Energy Star" logo..
and yes they seem silly in many cases. Manufacturers feel pressured
to display that "Energy Star" logo.... but it does add cost and complexity,
and does not generally contribute to reliability.


How can you tell if these logos are genuine or not?
