The power of a vacuum cleaner is measured in watts and represents
the capacity of the appliance to use the power supplied by the home`s power
source, to absorb as much dust as possible, in a short time. The power of the
vacuum cleaner is a feature of its engine.
All power-operated appliances measure their performance by
the value of this feature. Increasing the number of watts translates into more
power, but also in more electricity consumed for operation.
For example, a 1500W vacuum cleaner will consume 1.5 kW at
each operating hour. You can calculate the costs you are subject to, if you
know the price that your electricity company charges for each kW consumed.
Noteworthy is that those 1500W are representative for using the appliance at
its maximum capacity.
Most models on the market have a power output of less than
800W. Stronger vacuum cleaners, over 1000-1200W, are generally preferred by
people who have thick carpets in their homes, that retain dust.
Consumption also depends on the energy class of an appliance.
Two vacuum cleaners, one rated Class A, and the other rated Class C can use the
same power and complete the cleaning at the same time, but the Class A model
will add less Watts to electricity consumption, being more efficient. If you need shark vacuum repair visit a vacuum shop to get it serviced, as they handle all classes of vacuums, and can get the parts needed.
