Energy efficiency

I packed my little energy meter and brought it with me to Ireland. At the moment I'm testing out our washing machine, to see how much energy it uses at different settings (yes, I'm a geek).

So far, a 30 degrees C wash at 700RPM spin on "eco" uses roughly 0.4 of a kWh, whereas 40 degrees C at 1000RPM uses 0.7 kWh! Quite a difference. I'll be making notes over the next few weeks :)
