Wow, that's a fascinating tale and a bit serendipitous the way you fell into it. My initial curiosity is greatly relieved (but the long term is yet to be satisfied) The more I looked at that photo the more I kept thinking there is something subtly different between those two SS machines. | ||

Nothing like silver and black to take you back to old times. I can imagine when that came out, people who had never seen a Constellation before must have said "Holy etc. etc.!" | ||

Great story Fred! I had no idea. Thanks, Rick PS - your fuzzy picture looks better than some of my "non-fuzzy" pictures | ||

 Well, for those who don't have the luxury Cool of living 20 minutes away from me
***rolls eyes***
Well for those of us who have the luxury of living 1 and 7/8th seconds away from you, I can tell you all that that 220 volt Maytag sounds like it could take off and devour that carpeting in one gulp. That machine sort of scares me :-) lol | ||

For those who don't have the luxury of living 20 minutes Being that I live within that aformentioned 20 minute radius of your domicile, perhaps the readers here would appreciate an unbiased assessment of that Maytag's purported power. | ||

Does it sound similar to the 120v model and does it also have the woefully too short hose? If only, only, they'd added another foot to that hose I'd probably use mine more often but it drives me nuts. | ||

This is similar to my transformer; they're all over the internet, for various prices...

The Maytag does have the ridiculously short hose... the stainless US Connie has the longer hose of the 2 models available. I would imagine they're still available from Hoover as a replacement part. | ||

Yes Pete, the SS has the longer hose than the white one. But as you & I know, it's that silly modern thin vinyl retracting Slinky type that stretches out great but self-retracts under actual suction dragging the unfettered vacuum right into your ankles. Inexcusable in a vacuum this powerful. What is the point of these hoses, anyway, when you can't really use them at full length even on a non-floater canister? The same slinky vinyl is used on many uprights but go to use them and the vacuum topples over...
Would definitely benefit from a stiffer plastic hose or better yet, an Ultraflex replacement. Dave | ||

Comes to the Rescue!
of living 20 minutes away from me, I suppose I'll relent and give the story...
