  • This is bollocks. Dyson have never produced a vacuum cleaner above the new EU limit (@1600 watts), yet consistently get excellent reviews and work well. There's a huge amount more to how well a vacuum cleaner performs than the amount of power it draws.

  • Well Dyson use an entirely different bagless system, don't they? Maybe they're not affected as much by the power limit as 'traditional' vacuums like Miele. Either way, my Mum's done a load more hoovering than I ever have. She got one of the new ones and then got rid because it was useless. Anecdotal, I know - but she's happy with the older, more powerful model.
