Alex,
Good topic. I have always wondered what the differences were myself. They all had motors of similar amperage. The Hoover Jr had better tool suction than the convertable due to the direct connect of the tools. I love the the little Hoover Jr and think they clean very well. My thought would be that due to the design it had to lift the dirt further than the convertable would have. Kirby and Royal had the market for their above the floor cleaning. They both had nice tools and much more air flow then Hoover or Eureka. Eureka tool usage even with the better converter was pretty bad and not sure why. Same size motors...must have had something to do with the fan size and speed of the motor. Eureka would still out clean a Hoover on carpets. Morgan |

does not matter the size of the motor or power used it is the RPMs generated and the size and shape of fan low amp royal and kirbys have high RPMs, drive the fan faster, move more air |
