Fantasy meets reality
Whilst I agree that the laws are good and i.e will make brands do a little more work rather than re-tarting up existing models with new hoods, colours etc, I think there's a danger here of not knowing the actual saving of money where lower powered vacuums in a UK domestic home are concerned.
There has been no actual "real time" data published in the UK as yet that shows that there can be a saving. Equivalent reports available in the U.S state that as little as $8 every 3 to 5 years, which is something like £4-70 to £5 every 3 to 5 years. Provided that your model is going to last that long, it's still very much up in the air what kind of saving a domestic vac owner is going to make compared to the norm.
