In fact these DO use the same motors. In the process of restoring my two Broom Vacs, I actually replaced the motors in BOTH of them with identical hand vac motors. Well, one was a three-amp hand vac motor from a DD PLUS hand vac and the other was a 2 amp motor from a 103. With the two amp one,I basically made a late production Broom Vac (click on my profile picture and its the one on the right) use the same motor as the very first Broom Vac ever made. The less amp does make the vac quieter, but I hardly notice any drop in performance with that conversion. I actually enjoy the 2 amp one slightly more, because it sounds so unique! Both work fine and have plenty of power!
Just swap fan and pulley, and you are good to go! Extraordinarily easy! |

I have one and I love it! I wish I could find a blue one and I wash I could find attachments for the red one! I also have an outer bag, a handle, and all the manuals and brochures for the blue one. |
