What's the relationship between power amp vs volts vs watts??, I'd like to know the power of the vacuum, and do some comparisons among them, because for me the power is one of the most important features, but some models give you amps, others volts,...

Don't really know the difference, but this had got to be the most powerful hand vac I've ever owned. Super strong suction. It's corded, not battery

You know...I looked on the item and I don't know if it is listed. I don't see the wattage listed in the manual. Is there a concern? I am just curious. Thank you.

@byron: I'd say the suction power is better than the typical portable vacuum, but it's no match for (say) a heavy-duty shop vac. For a battery powered vacuum, this is the most powerful of the three or four that I tried. On hard surfaces, things like dog hair are easy...on carpet and fabrics, it can take a bit of brushing to dislodge the hairs, but eventually they come up fine.

watts = volts x amps, so 1rst, whatever you are talking about has a voltage, usually stated near its UL or CE label and states an amperage. Multiply its volts x amps and you'll have the watts used or wattage. But this isn't an 'or ' question, as you must know 2 out of 3 to find the third. ie look at its label, it'll give two out of three, so you can calculate the third.

It provides more but the unit you plug in only draws what it needs. So lets say you have a phone that draws 2 amps and 10 watts. The unit can supply up to 3.5 amps and 15 watts but the device you just plugged in only draws the 2a and 10w it needs, its not forcing it to take 3.5 amps and 15 watts. Generally you can only damage something like this if you give it the wrong voltage supply.

I'd recommend keeping the central vacuum and getting a better power nozzle, no traditional vacuum can beat the power and versatility of a central vacuum. You also may want to upgrade your main unit, the airflow/air-watts the better.

Hi Paul! Thanks for reaching out! The XPA-2 outputs 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 500 watts into 4 ohms. Please let us know if you have any other questions! Thanks!

Based on how well it worked with the fan motor... I'd say no! This isn't a scientific response but rather what I observed with the fan motor. The controller simply isn't very precision and I think it has wide swings in voltage... in other words you couldn't fine tune it. I think it would very quickly smoke the motor in the vacuum. Again this is simply my observations on how it performed with my electric fan motor which was pretty small and didn't draw many amps.....

Please keep in mind I'm coming from an audiophile background but you do know the difference between 2000 and 4000 watts is 3db, right? Also keep in mind that these are transient/peak output numbers which probably don't translate into the real world. A 15amp 120V outlet can supply 1800 watts (watts=amps x volts). Assuming 100% efficiency (which no amplifier achieves anything close to that), that's it. These output numbers are fictional.

Meter shows volts and amps. To get watts you would multiply the two. Volts x amps = watts or (E x I= P).

Their amps are very overrated on power ( like their subs). So id say you should go with their 6000watt amp. It's not gonna put out anything close to 6000watts though. Just letting you know lol.

My power supply got thrown into a box of other power supplies. Now I don't know which one it is. I just need to know the voltage/amp rating for mine. I found new ones here:http://www.fitnessrepairparts.com/cart/ViewItem/13002288If anyone knows what voltage these put out, it would be very helpful to me.

"12V" stands for 12 Volts. "V Amp" usually stands for Watts (Volts times Amps equals Watts) Watts is a power used value (Such as a 60 Watt light bulb). So, "12V Amp" would mean 12 Watts. The entire text around the "12V Amp rating" would be necessary in determining the full meaning.

Watts = Amps x Volts, so for 120VAC power (US) it's 300 & 360 Watts respectively. One 15A 120VAC circuit can supply 1800 Watts of load.

If you have a circuit that is running on a millivolt, what is the current rate, how many amperes are in the circuit? If you have millivolts, then your amperes are very high! Amperes is what can kill you you, not volts. I would not use thus item on a millivolt system

Hi Deborah,I just looked at the nameplate on the back of the handle of the vacuum and it states it is 120 volts and 12 amps. I checked the specifications for the vacuum on the internet and there was no information to that effect listed. I think the nameplate should cover things tho. Hope it works for you.CJ

that's what I am doing - here's what i am finding...the control item (using a kill-a-watt) is still drawing .005 amps when everything else is off...i know this is practically negligible and in the scheme of things it's not really gonna matter money wise, just led me to the question that if the most least power consumption device (i.e. -0-) was the control item there would be absolutely no draw whatsoever. Thank you for your replies and if I am completely off base, please let me know
