Episode Details

Daniel bought what his appliance guy in Jerusalem called the best vacuum for a fifteen-month-old's floor — then found out the professional version had more power for less money. The reason isn't marketing or cost-cutting: it's a 2014 EU regulation that capped household vacuum cleaner power at 1600 watts, then 900 in 2017, while exempting commercial "dust extractors" entirely. This episode unpacks the two separate Bosch businesses, the channel wall between appliance shops and tool dealers, and why the 35mm hose Daniel thought was a consumer limitation is actually the standard thread into the entire professional ecosystem — where nozzles cost five pounds and outlive the machine.
