SozoZoso Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 This is the latest in the line of bo****ks that EU is now banning. They're scrapping vacuum cleaners as they are "high energy" and they're planning to move onto "high powered" hair dyers, smart phones and even...wait for it...kettles. So, if you have a dust allergy that enquirers you to use a vacuum cleaner?? Tough titty. Thanks EU you utter bunch of t**ts, it's just a pity that they won't ban politicians for using energy to spurt out crap. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/11061538/EU-to-ban-high-energy-hair-dryers-smartphones-and-kettles.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SozoZoso Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 It makes you wonder in what goes on peoples minds while they drum up these ideas. Literally I have now officially run out of words to describe the crap that is going on todays society, I know just go errr ummm *double face palm* I guess that we would have to invest in one of these I remember my granny having one of these in red and I use to stand on it while she swept up crumbs when I was little.

Disco Duck Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Nx3tiBUtI This sounds fishy to me. Why would any government want to band vacuum cleaners? They're an essential cleaning apparatus; not just for household use but for offices and other public indoor spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTM Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 FFS this story is being taken way out of proportion, Vacuum cleaners have not been banned. This legislation will not lead to less efficient vacuum clearners, toasters, kettles or any other electrical goods. For example this household has a more than good enough vacuum cleaner, a top of the range Dyson it's motor is 1400 watts. Dyson are one of the highest rated vacuum cleaner manufacturers, they have never made a cleaner with a motor above 1400 watts....so what is all the fuss about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson are one of the highest rated vacuum cleaner manufacturers, they have never made a cleaner with a motor above 1400 watts....so what is all the fuss about Too much more than good enough a vacuum cleaner, it would seem. Take your power down about 35%. Now you're barely at the border of wattage to make your EU pappy happy with your household. You're simply using up too much energy. If you have a lawn, you'd better invest in one of these. Erika Gehrke, an expert from the independent German testers Stiftung Warentest, told BBC News that "plenty" of vacuums cleaned well whilst using less than 1600 watts. But she warned of the challenge ahead when 900 watts becomes the limit from 2017. Prof Stewart said different appliances had varying potential for efficiency improvement. Cleaners probably had substantial potential to improve, he said. "The same goes for hairdryers - it has been suggested that a hairdryer of half the wattage will take twice as much time to dry hair, but that's not right. You might be able to improve hair dryer efficiency by a factor of two. The key would probably be in improving the jet. "Kettles are different: a kettle is an element in water. There is not much room for improvement - a lower powered element will just take longer to boil." That is what happens when individuals who should know better surrender their individual rights in the name of "the greater good", the only answer is strip government of its abilities to create and enforce such things and that is done by keeping as much of your money that you “share” with government as possible.

Disco Duck Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I could live with electric kettles that take longer to boil. However, don't mess with my vacuum cleaner. I'm allergic to various pollen and dust mites. A good HEPA certified vacuum cleaner sucks all of those allergens off my floors and furniture and deposits it into an escape-proof bag. No high-powered vacuum cleaner = runny, itchy nose and sneezing jags. Too much more than good enough a vacuum cleaner, it would seem. Take your power down about 35%. Now you're barely at the border of wattage to make your EU pappy happy with your household. You're simply using up too much energy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SozoZoso Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Oh that reminds me of what Disco Duck was saying about allergens....what about hospitals? I mean the health care battling with superbugs such as MRSA and others like dustmites etc. We in the UK already have a massive problem with that without the EU sticking their nose in and creating a whole set of new and worse problems.
