But as I said before, the biggest thing with the difference between an A and B washing machine is if you go for a more premium brand and sometimes they can be quite a bit more expensive.

It's the lifetime cost of that machine where you get the saving rather than the saving per individual load or per year.

Exactly.

And they're expensive.

You're still looking at a few hundred euros.

And the same is true for, there's low heat pump dryers because a perception is still amongst Irish people that a dryer is an extremely expensive use of electricity.

because they don't use as much heat.

So anything in terms of your appliances that generates heat or has to move things or that requires a fan is going to use electricity.

So that's why an air fryer is more efficient than a convection oven for small amounts.

So put your thinking cap on, learn a little bit about energy and it's very empowering and you can save a lot of money by looking into these things before you splash out.
