Don’t forget to help others conserve energy and save money by sharing this page.Mythbusting Fact #7:
Refrigerators, clothes washers and dishwashers on the market today are much more efficient than those available ten or twenty years ago, but there are still significant differences in energy use among models. For example, side-by-side refrigerator/freezers generally use more energy than freezer-on-top models. Features such as icemakers also use extra energy. Most front-loading clothes washers save significant amounts of energy and water compared to conventional top-loading designs. On the other hand, products like stoves vary relatively little in their inherent efficiency.-Source http://www.aceee.org

Good tip. My wife and I are looking to get new energy efficient refrigerator/freezer for Christmas (what a thrilling gift, I know) and it's good to know which are more energy efficient. Hopefully the savings in energy costs will help against the upfront cost of the new appliance.
I was looking to purchase a new washer and dryer and knew about the energy savings of a front loader. Buyer beware - my laundry closet wasn't deep enough for the front loader washer and dryer. They do make top loaders without the agitator though, that also saves water.
