    Sebos reaction to the new EU regulaitons on vacuum wattage!?

    It all started when..... the watts and amount of energy used started to go up when vacuum makers made the motors less efficient so they would burn out so you would buy there product more often.

    Filtration systems?

    As Crazy As It Sounds...... most vacuums that cost a grand will save you money in the long run because they are made to last. something like a simplicity synergy will last as long as 15 to 20 years

    Sonicclean upright

    I Think...... that products that are made for one job and one job only, will typically preform better than something with more of an all in one style because of the fact that one cleaner needs to do every thing. There are always exceptions, but I think more times than not a dedicated floor...

    Hey vacuumfreak I saw that you can stop the beater plate but does that stop the brush roll and the beater plate or just the plate. Thanks Mark

    European Commision: Consumer will get better vacuum cleaners than ever before

    I think... I may have a link on vacuum land to the technology that they will implement to help with energy conservation. The name is New Vacuum Technology under the contemporary link.

    Hoover concept Ya most of the direct fan air paths are relatively straight forward, a lot more than clean air.

    New Vacuum Technology

    In response to Design over HP I would agree that design is more important than HP. I think it was in the 80's or 90's that bigger HP motor where put on vacuums, but all they did was made the machine less efficient rather than clean more.

    New Vacuum Technology

    So who has seen the YouTube video of captive air technology. I wanted to see what your thoughts where and if you think the 200 watt cleaner could out preform a 1400 watt vac. Possibly we could improve on the idea. Don't know just a thought.
