Incandescent light bulbs have already been removed from the shelves. Next being removed are larger size vacuum cleaners. Germany’s online flagship daily the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reports: “Beginning September 2014 in the EU only vacuum cleaners that consume less than 1600 watts may be sold. From 2017 only a maximum of 900 watts will be allowed.”

The FAZ writes that the ban was very quietly passed by Brussels some weeks ago, going unnoticed by the public.

The EU. What a joke!  :mental:

I'm not laughing. It is only a matter of time before we must face it's mirror image.

And even those so-called "efficient" and overpriced Dyson vacuums are over 1200 watts.

Whoopsie.
