La Vanguardia comparisons: the best dishwashers of 2021
< p>Laura VillarinoIn recent years, the governments of many countries around the world have finally decided to add to their agenda actions to curb useless energy spending, pollution and water waste to propose real actions and solutions to fight against climate change, a problem that greatly worries society.
Last March, a new energy efficiency classification for household appliances came into force in Spain, which has made it possible to simplify the scales and classify models between A and G, thus disappearing subcategories such as A+++, A++ and A+.
Although these first changes have not had much more impact on our daily lives outside of renewing our appliances, this information is especially useful since energy rates went up a few weeks ago.
If we invest in household appliances that consume less, that will lower our electricity bill for most of the year. To help you in this task, from The Buyer of La Vanguardia we have selected 10 electrical appliances that consume little.
