        The Energy Rating App - the more stars, the more savings!

        When you're buying an appliance, the price on the sticker is only half the story. Knowing how much it will cost to run is often forgotten...

        Some of the more expensive models can be the cheapest to run. Some of the cheapest models can be the most expensive to run. Over five or ten years this can really add up!

        The free Energy Rating App calculates what the energy rating means in dollars. By adding the estimated running cost to the purchase price, people can see what they will be paying over time. The App is based on the popular Energy Rating Label that appears on over 7,000,000 million appliances each year and is the first of its kind to display power use in dollars rather than kilowatt hours.

        Use the App to add purchase price and running costs together to give the full life-cycle costs of major household appliances including air conditioners, fridges, dryers, washing machines, dishwashers, computer monitors and televisions.

        How to use the App:
        - Set your power costs or let the app use the default for your location
        - Choose your appliance type.
        - The most efficient model appears first... swipe to see the rest
        - Tap on any model and flip the card for more information
        - You can tailor your search to particular models, by selecting features, or you can search by model number or brand
        - Create a short-list by bookmarking your favourites, you can then take notes and add your purchase price to the power costs
        - Purchase price + power costs = what you are really paying for that new fridge or washer

        The App will help you see which appliance is cheaper overall and best for your budget!

        The Energy Rating App - the more stars, the more savings!

        I just get a list, not in order of energy use/cost of every appliance selected, plus others (eg front loading washing machine includes dryers!). Rubbish app.

        Not good for old models Doesn't have the list of old models in the data base.

        Great App Works well gives a list of appliances in order of power consumption but can't see my fridge in the list but can search for it Samsung srl458els
        Needs manual entry for older devices. Would be nice to have a 'break even' function that tells you how many years until the energy savings from a more expensive product recoup the initial expenditure compared to cheap model.

        Good idea. Poor execution. Looked at aircon and cant compare systems of a similar size.

        Good, but could be better Useful, could be so much more - potential to make a good app into a great app... Seems stable, at least, with no ads...

        Great other than finding out what useage its based off. Okay this aircon will cost me 1534$ over 5 yrs. But how often is that running? Even washing machines kilowatt rating is based off 7washes a week. But how would you know going off this app?

        Could be much better The ability to enter operating hours per year would be helpful for air conditioners... Also, the database is full of models which are discontinued. Could users have the ability to uncheck 'superseded models'? Currently a very basic and Disappointing effort coming from the Australian Government.

        Disappointing Assumptions on usage are not provided. Would be more helpful if you could adjust usage of equipment such as a dishwasher or washing machine. As a small family's usage is different to a large family's usage.

        Often shows low quality and low efficiency before high quality and high efficiency. Fridges need to select on size too. Air con should show heat output too. Potentially a very useful app.

        Works well Works well, but some of the refinements are too broad. For example, all the air conditioners are in categories like 5.1kW to 10kW.
