maytagvacuums.com is live. There's a note at the bottom that says the site is operated by Tacony, and it unfortunately shows as it's no better than the Riccar and Simsplsicity sites. It has spiffy graphics, but is missing some functionality. It's only for the M1200, not the lightweight M500 or the mid-line model. Clicking on Customer Service brings up a screen listing a phone number where you can speak to a rep or order by phone. Order what isn't clear--the vacuum? bags? accessories? But it's better than the placeholder that was there before.

Hmm.

From the website-
The ultimate in cleaning power, the M1200 from Maytag features the patented MO2OR™ Dual Intake System with two individual motors working together to provide continuous suction and maximum agitation for a superior cleaning performance. Six stages of advanced filtration trap dust, dirt, and pet hair in a single poof-proof bag that holds 20 times the capacity of typical bagless upright vacuums.
MO2OR™ Dual Intake System utilizes a clean air motor and direct air motor for maximum suction power and agitation, and an unbeatable cleaning performance

The specs are given as, "12 amp motor", the direct air motor pictured (i guess). What is the amperage of the second (clean air) motor?

I'd guess they're both 6A motors - you generally can't draw much more than 12A on a single 120V/15A circuit.

Subjectively, the hose airflow on a Simplicity Synchrony (which is about the same thing as the Maytag) feels like what I'd get from the attachment hose on a 6A Royal (so pretty strong, actually). That's a terrible metric for anything, of course, but to a zeroth approximation, both motors being 6A sounds right.

Forgot to mention - for a direct-air motor, 6A is actually very powerful. The top-end Sanitaires have a 7A motor, Kirby is in the same range or a bit less. The remaining dirty-fan Eurekas have a 5A motor. Royals have a stonking huge 10A beast of a motor, but they're mostly just louder than the older 6A and 7A versions.

For a clean-air motor it's not bad either - in line with a lot of 70s/80s canisters, which can be quite good performers in their own rights.
