Field notes
Visitors can start with a model reference or the page's energy-label scanner, set against a displayed tariff of 0.2001 €/kWh. The tables separate annual costs for televisions, refrigerators and water heaters from summer costs for air conditioners. A separate face-off is described as plotting two models' costs year by year, while the worked refrigerator example explicitly uses fictional models. The page identifies EPREL as its source and says settings stay in the browser.
