You need to buy some decent kit like Makita.

I have never seen the owner of battery Makita kit moan


I have , he had just found out it had been nicked.

Diverting the thread a bit some battery powered things like lawn
mowers are claimed by their manufactures to be as powerful as petrol
ones eg

though craftily they don't say exactly which petrol ones.
Wonder what it would be in watts if it were mains, if over 1000 Watts
would it be possible for an enterprising firm to make a cordless
vacuum of that rating but because it could be charged from a charger
less than 1000 watts it would get around the EU restriction, or have
they sewn that up legally.
