The previous ones of these show a energy rating of A+ on the box
Why are these new ones now an E, that's a bad drop in rating there?
What's changed?
Google'd the answer, seems the scale has changed & been updated.

Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean your household appliances are any less efficient than before, they are just rated slightly different. The new label system also makes it much harder for appliances to be A or B rated, meaning that these categories on our site and many others will seem bare to begin with.
This will motivate brands and inventors to create new appliances which are more eco-friendly than ever before. Understandably, the new system has much stricter requirements to avoid changes to the scale within the near future.
Inevitably, in today’s constantly changing world, the top energy classes will fill up once again in the coming years. Another rescaling will then take place.
