These are pretty good vacuums, but I think I prefer the Essential G series models with the manual height adjustment. I'm not a big fan of the fact these don't sit too deep into the carpet, but I still do love how well built and quiet these are.
Maybe the UK had some at one point as well, I don't know. But I do know that the new X7/X8 models in the UK now have Italian made Ametek motors because they were forced to lower the power down, in the US we're using Domel motors still on the X7/X8. We both did had American made Ametek motors on the X1/X2 models which the EU regulations would allow you to still use, my Kenmore Professional 12 which is technically a X1 has one.

Owning both a X4 and a G1, I can honestly say that I favor my X4.
I didn’t expect it having an ametek motor. The ones that we get in the UK are normally equipped with a domel motor.

Pretty good deal for 80 dollars
My middle school custodians had one and I was allowed to take it apart but unfortunately the motor looked like it was under the sea
