    You mean like uh, if we isekai’d with a solar power backup station upc as well?

    Yeah, that’d work, if it could deliver enough watts.

    They didn’t say that though.

    You would still have to run the right amps and voltage through the thing, and it would have to connect into the right kind of wall outlet… which all implies that such a ‘fantasy’ setting has a more or less equivalent to our modern power infrastructure.

    Maybe its some kind of LiON vaccuum, that was already charged? I guess then that would be neat untill it ran out of charge.

    I mean, if your fantasy society has electro magic… presumably they would also already construct and use devices which make use of electro magic, so one of our vaccuums would probably just be seen as again, still some weird thing, as it would probably not be compatible with some completely different paradigm for eletrical power generation.

    Or, if said society has electro magic and doesn’t use this with machines/devices… well ok I guess you could have a story where electricity benders try to figure out how to control their powers such to not just instantly overcharge and destroy the vaccuum cleaner lol?

    I dunno, Timeline by Michael Crichton goes into the actual logistics of setting up electrical infrastructure in a less fantasy but still medieval setting.

    We can I guess argue about what exactly confines the boundaries of the general concept of fantasy, I would say fantasy does not generally include something like an existing industrial power grid.
