Nice unit. That model was the last CaddyVac made. Original CaddyVac uprights sported the 7.3 amp motor and were rated withe Hoover Cleaning Effectiveness Per Amp Rating system of generally 18.0 - 19.5. This white one was the 12.0 amp unit when Hoover competed with Dirt Devil and Eureka who were touting cleaners with 12 amps Maximum Vacuum Power. It's a shame they stumbled into that. However, often it is easier to follow suit rather than educate! As collectors we know that amps is just a measure of electricity used. It doesn't dictate size of fan, number of fans, bearing and cooling fan configuration nor in general what RPMs the system has been tweaked to run at.

My childhood vac!
I recently got a nice one from the thrift store. As a kid I had the red burgundy one and then the deep purple model. I found the rarer turbopower3700 variant recently with the micro lite cover!!!!
