The energy rating on appliances is A for the best. Some say they are A
plus, which means they go much further. How do I get to know which is
the best energy appliance on the market and how much power they
consume in real pounds figures per ann? The A, B, C rating is too
vague. Is this rating now out of date?

The A, B, ... relates to the product.
The most efficient fridge will use much less energy than the most efficient
large dehumidifier, for example.

Ideally, you want a Kwh/cycle, or Kwh/year figure from the makers.
