Can you believe this.
This is EU's Achilles heel, leading to it's downfall.
In my view the legislation is very much ok. Same for LED lamps by the way or are you still using old fashioned lamps with > 100 Watts?

"In 2014 the EU banned vacuum cleaners with motors above 1600 watts in a bid to reduce energy consumption. It also introduced a flawed energy efficiency rating system, which James Dyson attempted to overturn. The European Court of Justice threw out his case. What was particularly barmy about this piece of legislation is that the fact that using a lower powered vacuum cleaner means you have to use it for longer to achieve the same result. Hardly an efficient means of reducing energy consumption."
This is EU's Achilles heel, leading to it's downfall.
I'm sure it must even apply to cars and other vehicles.
Restrict engine sizes to save fuel and drivers may choose to 'rev up' higher to compensate!
Replace IC engines with electric motors and you simply transfer the use of fossil fuels to at least some of the electricity generating stations and, of course, the manufacture of the batteries.

Our old vacuum cleaner meant us spending much longer to clean the carpets than it does now with our new one which has a much higher suction power.
It was quite easy to compare by placing my hand over the end of the tube in each case. The new one was much harder to remove.

Oppression and centralisation has worked a charm so far, no need to stop now, certainly not because of the people, they don't count its all about the unelected elite.

It is illegal to eat your pet horse. - I expect the French probably objected vehemently. I wonder whether they also considered banning the eating of pet frogs!
Water does not prevent dehydration. - I wonder what they had in mind to advise in favour of instead. French wine, perhaps?
Regulations to limit the power of ovens. - Hopefully, they made an exception for crematoria to avoid 'stiffs' being slowly roasted rather than completely burnt away.
Then there are the bent bananas and vacuum cleaners, already discussed.
Altogether not only unduly restrictive, but also rather ridiculous.
