No. A 6 amp switch is rated at 6 amps. A 12 amp motor will melt the contacts in the switch mechanism.
If the wire to the switch is AWG #12 you need a 20 amp switch because it is a 20 amp circuit.
This is proper connection for a motor that has a full load amperage of 13 amps. The wire size for motors has to be 125% of the full load amperage from the nameplate on the motor. On a 13 amp motor this relates to 16.25 amps. The next wire size up from this current is #12 rated at 20 amps. If you are using a fractional motor starter switch to control this motor, the heater size for the switch should have a rating of 16.25 amps. The fusing for wire is 40 amps for non time delay fuses, 25 amps for time delay fuses or a 30 amp circuit breaker.
12 AWG in most circumstances.
12 amp is stronger than 9 amp by 12/9
A 15 amp should be fine, provided that #14 wire is used for the outlet. If #12 is used, then use a 20 amp breaker. Depending on what the motor voltage is makes a difference on what the wire size is. A 3/4 HP motor draws 13.8 amps at 115 volts and 6.9 amps at 230 volts. The motor feeder conductor must have an ampacity at least equal to 125% of the full load current rating of the motor. 13.8 x 125% = 17.25 amps. The conductor required on a motor using 120 volts is #12 rated at 20 amps. The breaker for this motor needs to be rated at 30 amps.

YES
A 12-amp motor is fairly standard and will be about as loud as a typical vacuum cleaner, that is to say loud enough to scare gunshy dogs and babies but not loud enough to be overbearing.
The more amps any tool pulls, the stronger it's motor is.
Motor: 12v AMP usage: 1.2amp Watt: 12x1.2=14.4W
The Boss SmartVac 4870GZ uses a 12-amp motor.
No, you cannot use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system. This is because the switch would not be able to handle the current necessary to power the window motor. The amount of current required to open a window in a 12 volt DC system is typically much higher than 10 amps, and so the switch would not be able to cope with the load. In addition, the switch would not be able to sustain the current necessary to keep the window open, which could lead to the window becoming stuck in the open position. Furthermore, the switch would not be able to handle the circuit protection requirements necessary to keep the window safe. For these reasons, it is not recommended to use a 10 amp switch to open a window in a 12 volt DC system.
no a 240V switch rated at 30amps may work ok but could be a problem with a motor or coil if the switch is not dc rated chances are the 240V switch opens far enough to break a 30 amp arc, even if its not fast enough
Hoover steam vacs have a 12 AMP motor which is very good.
12 AWG in most circumstances.
Yes but only up to a load torque of 8/9 of the rated torque.
