Zorbster motor swap

Hi all, rarely post on here anymore but I’m still alive and dysoning lol

A while back I finally managed to acquire me a DC04 Zorbster which nearly completes my set, I’m just lacking a blue 04i and the constant max now!

That aside- doing a motor swap, I know the TOC can be swapped onto a regular motor and 07/14 etc motors can be fitted. Has anyone come across any LONG TERM effects of running a Zorbster TOC on a 1400w YV-2200? My only concern is that when it’s used in low power mode with the bin off it may overload the circuitry and eventually cause it to break down after a while?

Also what’s the difference between a Zorbster YV-514, vs a regular 04s YV-511. Is the 514 purely standing for the fact is has a different designed TOC (although being swappable)

Yes, that's the only difference.

We tend not to put 2200s in DC04s as they suck a bit harder and can make the machine hard to push. But if you choose to, I see no problem with using the Zorbster TOC if it fits.

Cheers for that. I’ve not really had any problems with higher power motors in 04s before. I’ve got a bit of a mismatch of motors in my personal DC04 machines lol;
Ameteks in my Silver lime and De Stijl,
YV-511 in my yellow/grey,
YV-2200 in my Absolute+ purple lime and now Zorbster
and a Quаltex 1600w in my daily Absolute+ grey, purple and yellow.

 If I’ve ever had any issues with them sticking to the floor I just remove the soleplate seals which seems to bleed off just enough suction to push easy

Wanted to nick the 1200w YV-514 from the Zorbster for an 07 for my grandparents, it was clutch converted with 04 bits so like you mention glued down a little too hard for them even with the seals removed, uses a little less electricity and I find the 04 motors quieten down the 07 quite a bit without affecting performance too much
