Cole is right Hoover was owned by Maytag at the time. The Satellite was a rebadge of the constellation.
Love mine by the way, just wished they had given it a power nozzle option. | ||

It was not a knockoff - it was an anniversary tribute. They took the classic Constellation design and then loaded it with modern tech and made it shiny chrome. They flopped when they came out and they didn't sell what they hoped, a lot of them got clearanced out like crazy. Great vacuum if you like Constellations - they did a great job on upgrading it.
The UK called it the Maytag Satellite, but in the USA it was kept the original Hoover Constellation name. Here's a video of it being pitched on QVC UK. | ||

The extreme heat coming off the "new" constellation's chinese single fan motor is scary hot. Don't let your 'new' constellation float in one spot for more than a minute. It will heat the carpet severely and might loosen the backing. Remember, it's still exhausting the heat and air into the rug so any dirt, dust, freshener, etc. will be spewed into the air of the room. When I use mine, I turn it on its side so it doesn't melt or damage the carpet.

No problem. Just buy a step-down voltage converter transformer.
They look like this, but there is many different prices and sizes, so you have to do some calculations on the vacuum's power usage on how big of one you need. I believe you need one that is twice the power of the vacuum, but it's been awhile so I forget if that's correct or not.

I have one of those GoldSource power supplys-use it to run 240V 1000W Hid lamps.If I should ever get a 240V vacuum-this should run that just fine. | ||

Here in the US they called them Type S bags which could be gotten in both HEPA synthetic (which was what the supplied ones were) or regular paper bags.
They may be an uncommon one in the UK, as I'm not sure you got any other Hoovers that took those bags. Here it was mostly the full size canisters like the Anniversary Windtunnel canister, and going back further the Futura and Spectrum, etc. I don't know if any of those were ever sold there, I'm thinking not. If you truly cannot find any Type S bags over there, what I might do is cut the collar off of a used bag, and glue it onto another bag that will fit the machine. Then you can use a more readily available bag instead. | ||
