E rated fridges aren't actually shit, the ratings were changed a couple of years ago because they kept adding better products to the list so we had A+, then A++, then A+++ etc. E fridges would have been A++ under the old system.

The rating is derived by dividing power consumption by volume - so bigger ones can get a higher score while using more power overall.
You can stick it to the man by buying a smaller one.

What is the difference between fridges that makes an A energy rating versus an E rating and why the fuck are the better ones more expensive? Governments subsidise stupid fucking electric cars but why aren't the most environmentally friendly basic things like fridges the cheapest (or only) option?
