Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, I've been wanting a Constellation for ages. Well luckily, I just got one as a Christmas present!

I love it, it's so cool and funky. Love the colour too.

I've heard that the suction isn't very good, but it seemed fine to me! What do you think?

Joe

Those Constellations are a thing! Specially the air way they move, I assume like a small hovercraft. Gsheen in other thread you were saying you were in a warm South Africa, well these very few days here is so hot that temperatures are between 31 and 38oC. Weather forecast says is going to be the hottest summer in 30 years!.
Joe, your Constellation is nice, I hope you can use and enjoy it a lot. Good vacuuming to you and Gareth. Gus

Very nice, my favourite Constellation-color !

I don't know who said suction is poor anyway not true at all, at least on UK models.
It has a GREAT suction, above all if you consider that the hose is longer than in other cleaners, ( more lenght means more loss of suction for the motor ).

Unfortunately the chassis is quite "fragile" and sensible to bumps. Hoover dealers in Italy use to receive boxes of standard blue chassis for the Cnstellation as many of them used to arrive damaged during transport from UK and were difficult to sell if bumped ! I have some NOS given as a present by a dealer who still had dozens of upper and lower chassis ( with no handle of course ).

Enjoy it and ....merry Christmas ! GUIDO

Thanks Guido!

 

I think the suction is great too!

 

As you can see, the chassis on mine is chipped quite badly.

 

Have a happy new year!

 

Joe
