I don't think that vacuums have "reached their peak performance," just yet even if we all thought that the EU law would bring an end to cheap and cheerful vacuums with loud motors. I don't think that has yet made a big influence. However, I am not discounting the usage and production of digital motors being transferred to conventional vacuums - it is just a matter of cost and time..

Oh so there's more to come you think? | ||

But how can they with the new EU law?
If you are referring to "reaching their peak" in 2014, then yes for the moment a lot of brands and models probably have. However don't forget the law changes in 2017 with watts lowered to 900 watts. I can imagine that brands are either going to: 1) Cap motors yet again and just hope for the best. 2) Cap motors and test components with a possible view to realisation that they have to redesign key parts to make their models competitive. 3) Actually produce a better built model. | ||

Hopefully a better model. But isn't it going to be a difficult task to improve airflow with a lower wattage motor? | ||

Improving airflow doesn't just mean stronger airflow - but rather the aspect of sealed channels and no air to escape, other than an air valve added on a design, which most brands have always added.
However, there are vacuums which may well offer and promise "sealed suction," but if suction air can be felt at the cord, or other areas of the vacuum, then airflow is obviously leaking. | ||

So that is one area of improvement.Maybe making motors more efficient. Possibly digital motors will become the norm? | ||
