Bought it used off ebay, it smelled of standing water so an attempt to clean it out was made. Here's kind of an overview Video

Yeah I've seen one water filtration stick vac from Kalorik but the quantum is the only true upright I can think of.
Thane? Are you talking about the H20 vacs?

The motor sounds like the same one as the canister model which I have. I think Quantum discontinued the canister model which is unfortunate, it's a very nice machine. Mike |

It's a drop in, off the shelf motor that is used by many water vacuum manufacturers. Quantum, Ritello, Robot, Big Power, Sirena, Ocean Blue, etc. all use the same motor. Water Vacuums that used separators were the theme at the 2019 Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention - we had them all there for anyone to see and try. The Rainbow, the Hyla, and the Delphin are the only ones I know of that use unique motors.

The motor is made by the Italian division of Ametek Lamb I think. The separators on all of these vacs also look really similar. Mike |

Hopefully that is the case those Italian Ametek motors seem nice.
