This might help, all depends which electro they fit. Hopefully the biggest which means less airflow then a 6.6 but more lift

I inquired to electro about this a while ago, they sent me the excel data sheets over for the motors. The 1600w motor has 550 air watts 148.8 inches of water lift and 110.3 cfm this means a two motor version should give roughly 221 cfm and 148.8 inches of lift compared to two 6.6 motors which have roughly 133 inches of lift and 278 cfm.
Alltec still sell the 6.6 motors and the evolution was designed with these motors in mind so they may fit these on request. That's if it is not already an option like on the storm. If you look at the data sheets it appears that even though the electro has more total lift the 6.6 will provide more actual in use lift at most orifice sizes.

But what is the 'cleaning ' orifice size when the wand is in the carpet , thats what matters .
If you look at the conical version of the 1600w that starts to increase over the 6.6 at 0.5 and lower , the 1800w version at about .75
Stuart , it would be best to message Alltec and ask why they are using the Electro if they are , im sure they want to offer customers the most performance so perhaps they find they work better in reality .

I have spoken to Chris Thomas and he said they are putting Electros in there machines as they are more reliable than the 6.6s

Still undecided :v Perhaps u should take a day off and tour the factories Stuart
Enforcer is easy , just flip the lid and everything is accessible , the storm looks even easier , Ashbys have some form of shock absorbancy on just about everything , so the pump is on its head on a rubber block mounting plate . So if something might take a min or two extra to remove its probably for good reason .

John
have you got a V2vin there ?
-
No i have no inbuilt v2 i just have the immersion , it certainly would be handy to have both inbuilt . One slight downside would be the extra weight would stop me bringing it up the very occasional concrete steps or fire escape ... only had to do it a couple of times , i can just manage the weight as it is .
I use this 3kw Amtech external .
