"Commence Operation......Vacu-Suck!"
This sucks!
Just to show that NOTHING can suck more than the Government.
Another example of how cheap other people’s time is to unelected bureaucrats.
Motor size is not necessarily an indication of cleaning efficiency.
That’s OK, gubmint decides you really don’t need your home that clean.
“Give Dirt/Germs A Chance”, peaceful co-existence, and all that ......
What? No more 15 BIG amps advertising?
This use of watts or amps is meaningless. I could build a 100 kilowatt vacuum that would lift a dust mote.
I find it interesting how governments justify rules like this by claiming it reduces energy consumption and is, therefore, more ecologically sound. But I have to wonder how much more green it is to build an electrical appliance with an underpowered motor that will most assuredly burn out before a larger motor and, therefore, require replacement multiple times. Our landfills are filled to the brim with underpowered appliances that burned out and required replacement. Meanwhile, the overpowered 35 year old washing machine in my basement is presently doing a load of laundry and the 55 year old coke machine in my kitchen is still capable of freezing a bottle of beer. They don’t make ‘em like they used to and it has NOTHING to do with energy consumption. It’s just one more lie told to consumers.
When high power vacuum cleaners are banned....only outlaws will wield them.
To wit: All bureaucratic vacuum sucks...
Behold the return of Fleas, Dust mites, and immovable Cat hairs.
This will turn out like low-flow toilets. Europeans will have wimpy vacuum cleaners that they will run longer using three times as much electricity to do the same job as a more powerful machine would.
They can have my Dyson when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
If the EU hasn’t yet outlawed flea markets (car boot sales?), this would be a really good time to invest in a truckload (lorryload ?) of high power vacuum cleaners.
Sales of the Copper Hand-Pump Vacuum Cleaner, Little Wonder will go up
Guess they’ll have to ban Bill Clinton from entering, because he has a nose like a Hoover.
Because if people want to pay a little more for the electricity it takes to run it, that isn’t allowed.
If the vacuum cleaner is weaker you will probably need to go over the same area multiple times. This will use even more electricity. Hence, there will be no energy savings.
These imbeciles on the left would like us all to go back to the caves and live in filth and eat grass.
Not them, though, they’ll still be jet setting around the globe and golfing with Mr. Obama.
I bet it's to combat so-called AGW.
What the bureaucrats in charge of the EU regulation fail to consider, is that people will just run their 900 W machines much, much longer to obtain the same level of cleanliness, thereby undoing the supposed good of restricting the power consumption...
NO cheers, unfortunately.
