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 Is this rating now out of date?

Usually the label has a predicted consumption under standard operating
conditions. The A+ and A++ ratings have apparently come in this year
because too many appliances got A (shades of school exams?) - see
