Well in comparison, 800W is a lot of power, and 6A is a lot of current. If I knew the voltage output of your house (generally vacuum cleaners run on AC), then I could instantly tell you which is more powerful. However, I am going to take a guess: both are as powerful as each other, if not very close.

In physics we compare add or subtract physical quantities of the same nature. Each electrical device has a label on which you find the tension it requires and the power it delivers. So you compare in the case of a multiple choice the power of the different products. In that case it is better to look for the vacuum the cleaner produces.

If your voltage is 115 that gives 690 watts.[USA]
At 120 volts its 720 watts{USA}
If you are in the UK your voltage is 230 so that is 1380 watts.

So the answer depends on your voltage and whether you are in the UK or USA.

The two are about the two are about the 800 watt vac draws 67 amps the two are about the 800 watt vac draws 67 amps and features and features and is never constant so pv 800120 67.

800 W is more powerful than 6 amp, regardless of whether you’re using US voltage (115 V) or European (230 V). W (Watts) is a measure of power and A (amps) is a measure of current. Power = amps times volts. So, if you live in the US, 6 amps means 6 A X115 V = 690 W. It’s not a huge difference, so price and features are more important considerations.
