I seem to recall... That the new Connie only has a 1 stage... I think the machine is made by the parent company of Panasonic... the same company who makes the motors that are in Dysons... ***goes and gets screwdriver*** | ||

Yup... One fan. Although it's deceiving! There's a shroud around the motor to maximize airflow...

Until... You flip it upside down. It's recessed! That's one powerful little motor!

Power Nozzle Has anyone successfully coupled a power nozzle (not a turbo nozzle) with the new constellation. I would love to put a windtunnel power nozzle on mine. I just don't have the electrical know-how for the wiring.. | ||

Fred: Thanks for tearing things to pieces and posting the pics. Dave: That air leak hole under the handle back you're referring to, I to noticed that and called Hoover asking why--they didn't have an answer for the hole Vernon | ||

Based on the autopsies I've performed on a myriad of modern plastic uprights and canisters, all new vacuums now come with a remotely located relief valve or positive leak - a 1/4" or larger HOLE - somewhere. A hole always defeats maximum available suction at all times. It's to prevent total sealing of the bag chamber so the cheaper high revving motor doesn't burn out. Better vacuums use a spring loaded relief valve that maintains full bag chamber suction until a total blockage happens. Dave | ||

Good point, Vern.
Continued floating is certainly a side benefit, but if my Connie is that plugged up I expect I'd turn it off and change the bag...or remove the obstruction which could very well be a cat toy. :-) I like the idea of grafting a Hoover power Nozzle onto this powerful new Connie, as really it should have had. Just need a double coil hose and a power wand to make the design-appropriate connections. my Connie hose is missing the end handle but I do have the collapsing wand & Turbo Nozzle, which I note dispenses with the usual Hoover latch buttons & reverse connections in favour of standard tapered friction tip. To the Partz Bins, Dr Davy... | ||
