I ended up getting my brother a Sanitaire Mighty Mite for Christmas and he liked it so much that I decided to get one for myself, but opted for an extra 2 amps just because. It arrived today from EcoVac (https://www.ecovacuum.com/1.html). Weaker fit and finnish by a little bit compared to the Sanitaire, and comes with the usual combo dusting and upholstery tool as opposed to two separate tools. The floor tool is a combo hard floor/rug tool and has a few joints to keep good contact. All plastic. The wand is metal and telescopic. The finish on the canister is a metallic purple, but all plastic. It came with a turbo tool and a HEPA filter. I got V.A.C. HEPA bags for it as well. It pulls 80 inches of water at the canister, I have not measured CFM yet.
It feels very powerful but the hose must have a lot of resistance because the pitch of the motor dramatically increases when you attach it. It isn't clogged and cleans well. I'd recommend running it a few seconds without the hose when you are done using it just in case heat is a problem.
What do you guys think of these Mighty Mites? Do you thing the 12 amp version is actually better than the 10 or is it just a less efficient motor?
