I'm with you Cari, I didn't get the difference between 120V and 240V right. 1.3 amp in the US would be eqivanlent of 0.65 amp here. It's double the older Singer motors. It's all within reason and have noticed them on many models. It will make the machine stitch very well on any fabric.
A 1.5 amps here is not very common; it would be the same as 3 amp in the US. These are usually larger as the average domestic motor too. 3 amp is industrial here. When I mentioned I don't quite trust the specs on external motors I was thinking of the new replacement motors we can buy on ebay today. They are always as powerful as they claim to be but they usually work fine though.
