Prices from the shops we compare. Nobody pays for a place. How we rank

How we calculate

The energy use comes from the EU energy label. For fridges and freezers it states the use per year. For washing machines, dryers and dishwashers it states the use per 100 cycles: we convert that with how often you use it per week (times 52 weeks).

Total = today's lowest price at the shops we compare + use per year × your electricity price × the number of years. We sort by that total.

Only models whose label use we know count; the result says how many. The label measures under fixed conditions, so your real use can differ. The electricity price filled in is an example: enter the one from your own contract.
