I would never recommend trashing a perfectly good vacuum cleaner and replacing it with a newer, more energy efficient model. However, if your current one is broken beyond repair and you're on the market for a brand new 'cuum, there are models that will get the job done and put a dent in your energy bills.
A vacuum cleaner may seem insignificant in terms of energy consumption when compared to larger appliances like refrigerators, but the use of multiple small appliances does add up. According to the California Energy Commission's Consumer Energy Center, running a standard vacuum cleaner for an hour a week consumes more juice than running a washing machine for two hours a week in the cold water cycle (38 kWh/year versus 31 kWh/year). That hour of vacuuming each week also consumes about as much as energy as running a clock 24-7/365.
Without further ado, five energy-efficient suck machines for your consideration:
