"Under an EU regulation that took effect in 2014, vacuum cleaners with the most powerful motors (1,600 watts and above) are banned. The European Commission says the ban will save energy and encourage more efficient devices. Which?, a consumer group, says it prohibits some of the best machines currently being made. Sir James Dyson, the British industrialist, says the efficiency rules were skewed to favour German vacuums over his products."
^ I became largely disenfranchised with the EU when my (english) cleaner was seeming to do a pretty poor job of the hoovering. When I approached her, I realised that the vacuum cleaner I bought, was underpowered. I want a the most powerful fucking vacuum cleaner. I voted leave as I don't want the germans controlling the dust levels in my carpet.
