The product testers have calculated for the comparison of the power consumption for a service life of 15 years. As expected, the costs of energy are higher than the purchase price of the device. In the case of the larger cabinets strong differences: The most efficient device consumes power for 850 euros, the other candidates are at 1200 euros.
