    Is 12 amps the most power for portable wet/dry vacs?

    I`ve been looking at 6.5 hp Craftsman wet/dry vacuums. Seems like the most power rating I`ve seen is 12 amps.

    Are there any other popular units with more than 12 amps?

    look at the horses not the amps. more amps meant its using more power. a 6.5 hp 12amp and a 6.5 hp 14amp would have the same sucking power. the only difference is that one will cost more to run. the 6.5 hp 12 amp should give you plenty of power.
