We've partnered with Youreko to help you understand how much money you could save by choosing an energy efficient appliance.

How Youreko works

The lifetime energy cost of refrigeration, laundry and dishwasher products are calculated, so you can compare like-for-like models in the market, and understand the financial benefit of a more energy efficient model.
