Quote:

New European Commission regulations mean that the motors in domestic vacuum cleaners will be limited to 1,600W from September next year and 900W from 2017

So the end result is that you use them for twice as long.

120 (volts) x amps = watts

For A.C. Watts don't forget to divide by the Power Factor and multiply by RMS Voltage. (or is it the other way round?)
