I got I new Eureka, (which I posted as Goodwill Find in the vintage forums) and unlike my 2 others, it has a 4amp motor instead of a 7 amp motor. I was just wondering what the difference was between them, other than they sound different. Does one clean better than the other? Why did Eureka change the motors? Is one more valuable than the other? Thanks for reading! Nathaniel | ||

older vacs had smaller motors, also the low end machines. | ||

cheap motor? Yes. It can likely last a LONG time in household use where you might use the machine about thirty minutes every week. Commercial use, where the machine might run over an hour every day, thats different. | ||

Updated 7 Amp Motor
Hey guys! Eureka actually just changed the design of their 7 amp motors. I'm pretty sure the classic pancake-design is no more. At work, we just started getting in Sanitaires that have cheaper motors. The top bearing is in a plastic cover now. The whole thing is smaller. It has a different, cheaper sound to it. Despite the cheaper motor, Sanitaire just doubled the warranty on their commercial machines! | ||
