We welcome the decision to review the Ecodesign and the Energy Labelling Regulations for Vacuum Cleaners. This is a long-due revision expected to bring many benefits in terms of energy and material savings and financial gains for consumers. We strongly agree that the scope of both Regulations should be extended to also include cordless/battery-operated and robot vacuum cleaners.
Dear Sir or Madame, The needs of the users of household and commercial vacuum cleaners are different. Therefore, we advocate taking the differences into account and developing a separate label for commercial vacuum cleaners. In this development, we should draw on the work of the international and European working groups that have dealt specifically with this issue.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
