Re: 1.6 kW
Wait, what, that should be the headline there, vacuum cleaners don't need an energy source*. Or get warm when the motor runs.
So, which do you think uses more energy? A 1.6 kW vacuum cleaner used for 20 minutes a week, or a 327 kW BMW 7 Series driven for 6 hours a week. How do you think the amount of energy used in a year by vacuum cleaners in Europe compares to the amount of energy used by road transport?
