There have been improvements in the amount of water used since mine was made.

Water consumption I can imagine, but power consumption? And by how much anyway?

Improvements in these appliances always feel a little like those percentages on dishwashing liquid. If I would multiple all the improvements since 1990 I think one drop of detergent will be enough for the rest of my life.

I recon decreased energy consumption would be achieved by decreased water consumption, since less water needs heating.
