or the vacuum cleaners in the EU...limited to 800 watts, so now I have to spend 2-3 the time it used to take, when a single pass was enough. Why not just allow me to buy a 2-3000W machine and do a single pass? Better for the environment and better for my time

Higher power consumption does not necessarily imply higher suction. Cheap brands did just decrease the motor power and their vacuum cleaners are terrible as a result.

Higher-quality brands like Miele still suck as good as ever, they just use less power thanks to improved designs.
