The perfect tool for spot cleaning, both in your home and car interiors.

While more raw power can help with suction, most high-powered vacuum cleaners had inefficient motors and were costly to run.Some manufacturers were also making increasingly loud and power-inefficient motors to make their vacuums more appealing.. That’s why the EU introduced new regulations in 2017 that.

limited vacuum cleaner wattage to a maximum power of 900W.maximum noise output to a maximum of 80dB.While this limit was controversial, it forced vacuum manufacturers to focus on the efficiency of their vacuum’s rather than just building bigger, noisier, and pricier motors.

The result is some excellent vacuums that are quieter but still provide excellent cleaning performance..Despite the new rulings, many people still associate a higher wattage with better performance.

This is why some vacuum cleaner manufacturers are now reluctant to list their vacuum’s wattage..

The 900W maximum only applies to dry vacuum cleaners.The first is a primary floor head, which is designed mainly for hard floors.

This is a basic floorhead, although it does a decent job and isn’t difficult to steer around objects.. There’s also a turbo brush, which is a similar size to the main floorhead but with a brush bar for cleaning deeper into carpets.Many cylinder vacuums don’t include a turbo brush, so we think this is a welcome addition that has a positive effect on the vacuum’s carpet-cleaning performance.. Aside from the floorheads, the Duronic also includes a 2-in-1 nozzle for cleaning awkward areas.

This combines a crevice tool with a dusting brush, although we felt that the quality of this tool is low – especially as the crevice tool is shorter than most competing models..While the Duronic has a flexible hose, it’s only 1.5 metres long, which can feel restrictive – especially as the body of the vac isn’t the easiest to manoeuvre around the home.
