They do show up on ebay reasonably often, its just a matter of patience I am afraid. And there are lots of good examples of the original model around too. The Satellite was not a bad cleaner but it was expensive (I bought one new for £160 - that will teach me to impluse buy in Harrods) and distinctly lacked features compared ot other cleaners of similar or even less price. With some updating it might have been more successful but no matter what people say the "retro" market is relativly small at least at that price level to justify the high price. Al |

you'd have to fight my bf for it lol he's pretty much got all the swedish green 60s hoovers now and they're his pride and joy The Maytag is a nice one to have, I think they're going to be very collectable one day |

That is a good point Ryan, they are certainly rarer than the Connies which ran for years and years.
Still, I know what I'd rather have! Oh I'd get that Constellation, don't you worry. I'd just hand over a few twenties and put on my wheezy American Mafia accent "you withhold that Hoover and the next meal you have will be suckin' through a straw". |

How did Maytag end up taking the new Connie over from Hoover, anyway? |

Hi
Just bought this new unused Maytag Satellite from ebay "buy it now" for £69.00. Not recieved it yet, but am assured that the box has not been opened. This guy seems to have a "stash" of them. Some people bought loads of them when they came out and stored them away. Hope it works!!!! leon

Hi Vacuumdevil
Just an update, there is a guy on YouTube that has bought a couple of new old stock of maytag satellites from this guy "valentinos" on ebay uk. He has sold loads of them, he must have found a warehouse full of them somewhere. He ships abroad but you would have to buy a converter to up your voltage from 110 to 210 to be able to use it in the USA. I bought a constellation 858 and purchased a converter from ebay for about £60, think they are cheaper in USA. im just grateful this guy Valentinos has bought all this stock for us to enjoy. In the full knowledge they are new and unuesed. He tends to sell them one at a time. Dont blame him. He has 100% feedback Let us know if you buy one from him. Regards Leon |
