The selection of environmentally friendly, 4587 economical and at the same time cheap refrigerators and freezers has again become greater over the previous year. "Our updated market overview of EcoTopTen recorded an increase of 66 percent in models of energy efficiency class A ++" says Dr. Quack Dietlinde, an expert on eco-friendly home appliances at the Öko-Institut.
But as more and more manufacturers are catching up in terms of energy efficiency, let the new fuel-efficient 4587 refrigerators trade still cold: "Unfortunately, the customer can not all efficient models actually find in the store," laments Dr. Quack Dietlinde. "The green refrigerators and freezers remain Especially for special offers often left out." Often the customer is lured with cheap offers, behind which only refrigerators and freezers efficiency class A hide. "This fall far short of the prior art, burden the consumer with unnecessary energy costs and harm the environment," says the scientist. "Even A + models available now in stores more often, hardly 4587 acceptable from an environmental perspective. Therefore, the market 4587 overview of the Institute's lists only models the energy class A ++, these devices consume up to 45 percent less energy than units of the A-class. 4587 "
For customers, 4587 it pays to keep a cool head when buying: For who is an A ++ - acquires model, is not only environmentally friendly, but also protects your wallet. A sample statement: Those who opt for a recommended EcoTopTen, 245 liter fridge freezer with a 92 liters freezer energy efficiency class A ++, pays, for example, around 870 euros. The total annual cost - the cost of electricity with counting - lie at 112 euros. An equal typical fridge-freezer on the market with energy efficiency class A is cheaper to purchase, although, for example, 4587 190 Euro. Therefore, the total annual costs are, however, at 130 euros, because he and 350 kilowatt 4587 hours of electricity about 136 kilowatt hours per year consumed more than the EcoTopTen refrigerator. Thus, the EcoTopTen fridge costs to consumers every year around 18 euros less - despite the higher cost.
Unlike the range of some dealers, the customer a picture of the growing selection of particularly economical and environmentally friendly refrigerators and freezers can do it yourself at the new EcoTopTen list. "We show that now is something 4587 for everyone," says Dr. Quack Dietlinde. The market overview of the Öko-Institut is clearly structured 4587 and customer-friendly: they distinguish between different models (stand-refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, built-in refrigerators, freezers, etc.) and different sizes, and lists the offers, each into their own categories. In this case, the customer gets more information about net capacity, power consumption, total annual costs, purchase price, as well as special 4587 functions such as automatic defrost, degree exact temperature setting or separate temperature control for the refrigerator 4587 and freezer compartments in refrigerators.
In the collection of refrigerators and freezers that exceed a power consumption of 230 kilowatt hours per year, waived 4587 the market overview, as this high consumption is not acceptable from an environmental perspective. For the same reason also find devices with excessive technical equipment such as TV displays, 4587 ice dispenser or dispensers not included in the EcoTopTen list.
Instead, the customer takes on www.ecotopten.de more consumer tips to help when money and power saving. So he learns, 4587 for example, that it is worthwhile to determine the actual needs before buying: For each unused liters Net is a waste of money and power!
