Comment on US Energy Department ending appliance efficiency standardsparent

Comments

you still get to choose which appliance you have in your home, but the government is there to help ensure that appliance is reliable and efficient.

I suspect that many people have the opposite experience and blame the government for inefficient and unreliable products. I most often experience and hear others complain about water efficient washing machines.

The "high efficiency" ones also tend to be far more complex and unreliable as a result. There's plenty of complaints on HN about them too.
