Hello, one of the vac motors had just gone on my Airflex Turbo, is there anywhere cheaper than Cleansmart that sells them?

I remember years ago when Woodbrige stared calling theirs AmteK instead of Amtec Cleansmart said the genuine one had water seals to protec the bearings etc.

Since then John martin has researched Motors and i am totaly confused to what is the ultimate power units to buy

but its a different when you talk about the same product, not a service provided, the same product is on few different websites with different prices, up to the buyer where he goes

I would call cleansmart and ask if they can match the price from other supplier as think they run best price guarantee or something
better to supply from the suppliers where your machine comes from

Lighten up - I thought the smiley faces would give the idea that it was an attempt at humour.

Are all vac motors the same? Cleansmart do two motors one which cheaper and one which is for the Turbo.

And then we have all the crap on ebay,so you are not always buying like for like

The Airflex turbo motor is 1500 watt. £140 @ Cleansmart  plus vat and £78 @ Woc plus vat.
Both are the same model number 117123-13. Therefore, they are both the same motor from Lamb Ametek.

The differential in price is £68.
Nothing to do with 1200 or 1400 watt motors or the Storm. ::)roll

I think the 117123-13 is called both a 1400w and a 1500w at times , dont matter much .  
The plastic horm one is 1200w
the metal horn one is  1400w ( or1500w)

all the motors mentioned above look like ' genuine' 117123-13 suitable for the Turbo , all are from ameteks mexico plant . forget the genuine lamb blurb ...
There aint no Lamb production anymore , this is the USA address for lamb , does it looks like they are producing anything here ... above the grill lol
