OK, how are they claiming to get 4.4 HP out of this thing on 115v?

by lying....
Maybe.

If I'm doing this right:
4.4HP = 3.28Kw at 100% eff. (which it isn't, of course)
3.28Kw of power at 120v requires 27 amps.

Creative. I have seen other products with similar claims

Almost all shop vacuum cleaners...I've got one that's 5 HP, another that's
6-1/2 and a 4 HP small unit, all for 110 volts. Routers. How many 110 volt 3 to
3-1/2 HP routers are there on the market?
