I see they have jacked the price back up to $249.99. TTI was dumping them in the marketplace at $150 last year at this time and many could be had nib for $100. I suspect they are left over stock from a very large warehouse in China. Perhaps a 'lost' container or two were rediscovered dockside? I think most who have the mew SS or White one would agree it is a worthy re-issue of a classic. It is certainly more suction-powerful than any previous Constellation. It shoulda had a power hose and PN but that is easy to retrofit. The flexi-stretch hose that comes with it has only a single wire coil but any other wired hose with a pigtail would be a simple conversion to the new Connie's socket. Dave |

I've noticed for quite some time that this is still on Hoover's website, but I think I'd call and see for sure if they indeed have these in stock. If you look closely at the listing for the Constellation, you'll notice that there is no "add to cart" button. |

You'd also have to pay attention to your amperage with the combination of the suction motor and the power nozzle motor. I forget what the maximum amperage allowed is for 110/115 outlets. It's either 13 or 15 amps. |
