That really sucks.

Methinks you may be misinterpreting the intent. It's not to save
electricity. Since the smaller vacuum cleaners pickup less dust,
there will be more dust remaining in the environment. This dust will
eventually find its way into the upper atmosphere, where it will block
some sunlight, and therefore reduce atmospheric heating from the sun.
The net effect will be global cooling, which is currently considered
(politically) desirable.


I think that was an unintended consequence!

But in this case a positive unintended consequence.
