The main wand is a telescopic pipe that can be adjusted to suit your height.

What are Air Watts in Vacuum Cleaners?.How Did EU Regulations Affect Vacuum Motors?.

In the past, many people would assume that a higher vacuum wattage provided stronger cleaning performance..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..At its core, the VC7020 is a corded vacuum cleaner with a bagless design and 700W motor (which can reach 800W if required.)

It has a 2.5 litre capacity, which is bigger than many other bagless options, and an extendable cleaning wand to provide greater reach.. One of the advantages of the VC7020 is its lightweight design.The VC7020 weighs 4.6kg, which is relatively light for a corded cylinder vacuum.

For comparison, the Miele Compact C2 Cat & Dog weighs 6kg, and the Hoover Enigma (a close competitor in terms of price) weighs 4.9kg..In terms of manoeuvrability, we don’t think the Duronic’s body can match the top cylinder vacuums though.
