These can only be used by vacuums that can supply power to the tools, such as the TriFlex HX1 cordless vacuum series.. Summary.

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..

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 Duronic VC7020 comes with both a washable foam filter and a HEPA filter, which is the gold-standard for home cleaning appliances.

HEPA filters trap 99.97% of dust and other allergenic particles (of greater than 0.3 microns in size), so far fewer allergens are released into the air.. You’ll need to clean the washable filter regularly to maintain the vacuum’s suction (at least once per month.)Duronic also sell spare filters.
