Greetings to all.
I was abusing my bod on my bowflex this morning and was looking at a shop vac in the room.
The label stated '6.5 peak hp'. The vac is a 120v. plug in.
A little quick math concluded that 6.5 hp should be in the neighborhood of 5320 watts.
I know that advertisers can engage in enhancing their product, called 'puffery' or the like but this seems like outright lying.
This seems to be the case for many power tools and the like, domestic or foreign.
How can they get away with this??
