Good morning,
how much importance do you actually place on the electricity consumption of large electrical appliances in your home?
For example, if I can save around 200€ when purchasing, I keep reconsidering it.

Everyone, you’ve kind of strayed from the topic....
I always pay attention to this outdoors to keep my operating costs low. I prefer to pay a little more upfront and then spend less in the long run. That makes more sense, and eventually it pays off since these devices usually aren’t that much more expensive.

gti_klaus5 Dec 2007 07:31Yes, that’s kind of my problem too. I pay an extra 200€ (about 220 USD) for a device and calculate that it will be worth it after 6 years, but if the device breaks down after 4 years, then relying on energy savings wasn’t such a great idea.

gti_klaus5 Dec 2007 07:33Yes, but the non-energy-saving device costs 200€ less, that’s what I meant. I didn’t want to say that energy-saving devices are worse or that they all break down after a certain number of years.
But you’re right, maybe we should think about the environment.
