To answer your question about dust in the bag chamber - No. I have used mine and tried my best to get it to leak dust...and nothing. The bags that come with the machine are remarkable. There is also no noticable reduction in air flow. Miele, the Kirby Micron Magic, and the Air Tec bags for me seem to offer that very same level of filtration. Morgan |

I have a pwr nozzle with my new white constellation!!! A home made one, and you too can have one if you want. I will try to take pictures later. I was working on an Oreck one day and took the handle off the base to give it a good cleaning and thought, you know what, that looks like the constellation wand from the turbo nozzle might fit. It fit GREAT and so I plugged in the oreck, turned it on and turned on the connie. WOW what cleaning power from two fans. Oreck's suction and the connie's suction. The oreck by itself is just okay but not great, add a connie and see your oreck come to life!!! Phillip |

Yep, they still float... I was stepping on the cord with my foot as I took that picture, so the machine didn't go flying towards Charlie. :-) ~Fred |

I have never seen any of the older (1954-1976) Connies with a power nozzle, but if there ever was one, Jeff Parker or Tom Anderson would know. There was one model with an electric hose (I think only one) but that was only for the purpose of turning the machine on or off at the handle end of the hose, for convenience. The nozzle on all of them was a standard strip brush type rug nozzle. Jeff |
