Similar setups were done in the late 90s and early 2000s here in America. Hoover, DirtDevil and Eureka took their Elite, Featherlite and Bravo motors, which normally ran around 7amps, and allowed them to pull 12amps. You had the large direct air fan and the RPMs of a 12amp motor. They were all discounted around 2005.
I bought a 12amp direct air Featherlite in 2004, and the hose suction was amazing. They were a little loud, but really nice vacuums. |

I wish companies would actually revert back to the 7.2 Amp uprights and 9.3 Amp canisters like Hoover had and be more energy efficient to save electicity. Either that or make more efficient 12Amp motors. Some 12amp motors are weak and some could suck the paint off your walls. I personally was very impressed with 9.3 amp Hoover PowerMax canisters they had better suction and outperformed 12Amp Eureka Worldvac canisters I thought. The Eureka WorldVAcs were still good and love the fact that Eureka was donating money to save forests with purchase of Worldvacs.
I've seen but never tried a 12Amp Elite, do those seem much more powerful than their predecessors? |
