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 Is this rating now out of date?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 energy+ ratings are a new standard that is better than the A-G eco
labels because they are independently verified rather than just
manufacturers ratings -

Seems to confine its attention to refrigeration products - I'm surprised it
doesn't extend to appliances such as washing machines & dryers.
