Aghhh trying to find a small vacumm for the RV that actually 'works' is an RV'ers worst nightmare. Most of them are pure junk.
What I found is that all these small vacuum companies play a very well planned game when it comes to what they allow the consumer to know about what they are buying BEFORE they get home with it.
Price will NOT guarantee you the most powerful one either.
It's the LACK of the amps purposely NOT being printed on the "outside" packaging. So you can not compare them.
I went to the store manager and told him I was going to start opening boxes and pulling out the manuals on these vacuums and if he would like to stand in the aisle as I did so he wouldn't have to call security!! Because I wanted to know how many amps the vac had BEFORE purchasing it.
I figured whats the dif of opening it at home and coming back to return it or opening them up in the aisle saving me the gas.
General Manager was very intrigued to see that indeed the amps are not always on the outside of the box for comparison AND that the most expensive one is NOT always the most powerful one.
Long story short, find the one with the most amps. More amps more powerful. You will be very surprised to see where some of these brand name expensive ones fall regarding how many amps.
In my little box ripping open in the walmart isle episode? Yup, that day I found the lesser expensive one was the most powerful one.
I bought the Eureka Ralley2. One powerful little vacuum. :C
