Answer 1

Sounds like Energy Star.

It's a logo showing compliance with government supported standards that greatly increase energy savings or reduced emissions and is not granted lightly.

It's an easy way for buyers to see a product that's been proven to save energy costs, not just claimed to do so.  The Star rating is not inconsequential; it's quite important, but not the MOST important.  You need to compare 'apples & apples'.  For example, a smaller powered unit with a star is not going to do you as much good if you really need a larger powered unit, whether it has the star or not.

Answer 2

the star indicates how much power does the appliance save

the more no. of stars the less electricity is used

the lesser no of stars the more electricity is used

Answer 3

More Stars = Less Power Consumption.
