Goodness knows what our DW does when on its "Eco" programme, but it takes forever to do it, and doesn't seem to work very well. Like BAS, we never use it.My old dishwasher with Eco, just never used heat on final cycleGot a new dishwasher recently - it has an "Eco" programme, which (I'm assuming here) is the one which is used to get it's official A+whatever rating. It's useless, we never use it - always go for one of the other programmes which actually work.
What would we do for electricity when it's dark, or overcast?What if we left the EU? We could afford solar panels for every house in the land. Probably. That would save everyone real money.
Quite so. The first time we tried it when we got the machine (given that it sounded like a good idea), we actually thought something had gone wrong with the programmer, since it didn't seem as if the programme was ever going to finish - just as with yours, over 3 hours.I think it sloshes around an insufficient quantity of insufficiently replenished insufficiently heated water for an exceedingly long time (well over 3 hours in our case).
Our Sebo is 800-something watts. Works fine.Also, 1200W (with half setting) is good enough for Henrys so that must be all that is required.
Ours does have the decency to tell you how long it's got left to run, so you can while away an entire morning or afternoon, if you want, watching a 7-segment display count down.The first time we tried it when we got the machine (given that it sounded like a good idea), we actually thought something had gone wrong with the programmer, since it didn't seem as if the programme was ever going to finish - just as with yours, over 3 hours.
Or by people using patio heaters, warm air curtains, etc.The EU should stop worrying about it and concentrate on THEIR own energy waste.
Just think how much carbon is produced when the MEPs do their ridiculous monthly shuttle to Strasbourg in France
Would you favour, or even regard as acceptable, Big Brother intervening in relation to energy-wasting activities such as those?Or by people using patio heaters, warm air curtains, etc.
Yes, quite.Our Sebo is 800-something watts. Works fine.Also, 1200W (with half setting) is good enough for Henrys so that must be all that is required.
At what width of sweeping device? As I have said air volatility cleaner not vacuum there needs to be a set gap so the air can enter the nozzle and the hard floor will need more of a gap then thick pile carpet. With street cleaners the gap is very important but they often sweep the whole street but direct the dirt to the curb and only suck up dirt from the curb.Henrys start at 600W. You can turn it up to 1200W if you want it to stick to the floor.
Indeed, that's what I was suggesting - maybe, even, the tax (or whatever) incentives to do what 'they' think is best - but, in general, I'm no great fan of Big Brother completely removing the choice.Education yes tell us what to do but there is no one size fits all. Let us decide what we want to do.

For as long as people are so lethally selfish as to carry on buying and using them, yes and yes.Would you favour, or even regard as acceptable, Big Brother intervening in relation to energy-wasting activities such as those?
