Hello all, i am a new user and those on Automaticwasher.org know me as AEG-OKO-CARAT. i have recently got a hoover constellation in yellow from ebay and it has a couple of issues,
1: the white paint on the top of it needs touching up
2:some of the yellow paint also needs touching up
3: it needs a new plug with pin-protection (thoses black pieces on the 2 lower pins on the plug)
other than needing a wipe down and a bag and new filter it works, and she floats very well (except on think piled carpets). anyway some pictures for you to see :)
Tom :)
P.S i also collect desk fans too if you havent seen them in the pics lol

If you turned on all of those fans, you'd have a Windtunnel, too. Sorry, it was too easy. We didn't have color (or) colour combos like that "over here".

It was done over here when HOOVER

was "a division of Maytag". That ended in 2007, just before the 100th anniversary. You'll see some of them labled "Maytag satellite". Sad, really.

This is the final colour variation of the original Connie from the early 1980s, if you can post the serial number we can date it for you.

"If you turned on all of those fans, you'd have a Windtunnel, too." Ha ha ha!

Very nice Constellation! It's good to see somebody else other than me uses those Vacuum Freshener tabs.

"I used it for the first time today, i must say that it is better than a dyson!" Of course it is, it is Bagged and we all know Bagged is better than Bagless! Of course there will always be lunatics that disagree, ha ha!
