I just ordered a Hoover decade 80 from eBay for a pretty reasonable price. I’m pretty excited to get it because I’ve never owned one of these old Hoovers! This one is a little different from your typical decade 80. It has a 4.8 amp motor which I have not seen on YouTube. Was hoping someone would be able to tell me if they have ever used a 4.8 amp or if there is any major differences!? Im pretty excited to receive it because they are so powerful!

Great find! I think I have the bottom end model of that one (same colors but no Decade 80) I got out of a dumpster in the early 2010's. It's buried in my garage somewhere but I know I still have it as I remember seeing it a couple years ago.
I never knew the decade 80s had motor variations, I will have to check mine. I thought they all just used bigger motors than the base models and the motors were all the same. | ||

Decade 80 performance.
Strangely the 6 amp variation I tested had lower airflow than the convertible I've tested. It was suggested that the 6 bladed plastic fan may be the culprit as the convertible used a metal fan with more blades. I think the fill tube may also make a difference. Kind of dissapointing I do prefer the styling and top fill bag used on the 80, though it's flow may be less it's still not a bad machine.
