Or maybe it won't.

As of tomorrow vacuum cleaners using more than 1600w will be phased out in the EU. According to British newspapers that means the best models are being banned. Funny that, given that the power of the engine has got very little to do with actual suction and in a recent test in Holland the best model actually has a 1200w engine. Philips already is selling vacuum cleaners that use less than 800w, while still giving good results.
