"How Many Amps Does It Have?"

That is a question I've been asked many, many times. Most people assume amps equals the cleaning power in the vacuum. Not the case at all. All amps (or correctly said ampere) are is basically the measurement of electricity moving through the vacuum motor to run it. Most vacuums have a 12 amp motor, some a little more, some less depending on the size of the motor.
What really measures the actual cleaning power or suction in a vacuum are things like the air watts and water lift (interestingly enough I don't recall ever seeing any companies promote that). However, if you wanted to find out, you can go to the company's website, and likely find it on the product specifications.
