Got another. How does a vacuum cleaner with a motor as powerful as a hair dryer cost £199 and a proper one with a motor that's 1300 Electrolux by the way only cost £50? How I wish you could still get this
Not sure what your actual point is here. Hairdryers usually consume around 1800-2000W but bear in mind there is a heating element in there which consunes the majority of that power and the rating on a hairdryer isn't motor power IIRC. A small hairdryer with a 2KW motor would be pretty wild to handle. So not comparable to a vacuum at all.
For vacuums themselves, I assume you mean smaller motors being more expensive?
Motors are not just motors though; induction, brushed, brushless.
Different technologies cost different amounts to produce, R&D etc.
Then you have efficiencies of scale, a smaller induction motor of say 950W is probably as efficient or more so than that 1300W brushed motor.
If you don't understand stuff, its probably best for everyone if you try not to get irritated by it.
