I want to help my mom choose an economical yet effective/powerful vacuum cleaner for her when she cleans homes that don't have one.
I'd like to know what in the world is the difference is regarding Amps, Volts, Watts etc. and just what the heck "Cleaning Effectiveness means.
I want them to be happy with the results of their vacuumed carpet!
Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can't go by the advertised amps/volts/or watts. That only refers to the amount of power CONSUMED by the appliance. A motor that draws a lot of amps may simply be inefficient in its use of power. Better off to make sure the machine is warranteed to be returnable in case you get it home and don't like the way it performs. Don't buy a Kirby; way over-rated and not worth the high price!

I always look for "suckage". I get the one that sucks the best. You would assume this would be the most powerful one but not necessarily so.
Rainbows vacuums are the best but they are expensive - you can sometimes get a good used one on Ebay

Watts is amps x volts. So, it is just different ways of saying the same thing. Buy your sweeper, take it home and use it. If you don't like it, take it back and get another, if you don't like that one, take it back and get another.
