It would appear that the European Union is attempting to reduce the power draw of household vacuums.

I don't think this is a bad idea as we could use more efficient, more practical appliances with smaller carbon footprints on all fronts considering the rising cost of and demand for energy globally.

Any feelings as to how manufacturers and consumers, worldwide, will go for this if it can be brought into effect? Do you think the U.S. may try to follow suit?

Good post! Oreck & Kirby make low energy motors to the best of my knowledge, so the U.S are not as energy wasteful as the U.K and European brands.
