thank you update
Decided on the reconditioned eletrolux..turned out to be a 1505...Silverado..hope that's a good model..got it home Tuesday night..did'nt get to "play" with it much until last night. OMG!!!! I got the living room, hall, kitchen, bath and one bedroom vacuumed..as in moved furniture, vacummed baseboards, picture rails, furniture and door jams.... I could'nt belive how much suction power there was..I almost think it could suck the skin off my arm. Anyway thanks for all the help..becasue of all the post I was able to shop around and ask intellengent quesions...the repair shop I bought the vacuum from gave me a 90 day warrantey..I dont know if it's just me or what..but my house feels cleaner and the air is not "heavy". Thanks again

We want pictures!!!!
BTW did it happen to come with the SideKick attachment which is the small handheld electric power brush that fits on the hose end for doing stairs, furniture etc? It's very handy to have. If not it's something you can always find later on

As They Say:
Nothing sucks like an Electrolux!
Glad you found a good machine- the Silverado is a great model to have. petek is right about the Sidekick; it's a terrific option to have. It's a little power nozzle that fits right on the end of the hose, ready to scarf dog hair off the furniture. They're all over eBay; search on "electrolux sidekick".
Do yourself one favour; get in the habit of changing bags sooner rather than later. I personally don't go more than about halfway full with a Lux bag; that keeps the suction high. Lux bags are all over the place, and they're cheap, so no need to get all economical about it.
Congratulations!

Good choice Mark. Be sure to use high quality filter bags to reduce the amount of exhaust dust/odor and protect your motor.
For anyone who uses Electrolux, be sure and stay away from the Honeywell replacement bags sold at Wal-Mart. I have had three Lux's come in the store this past year all with the automatic control prematurely opening the bag door. The problem was those bags. I don't know what it was about the design, but something tripped the automatic control.

More info on the Hoover Constellation, please?
Since I have never seen one of Hoover Constellations in person, I was wondering if people who own them could please give us more details/pictures of them. The Hoover website currently seems to have lots of conflicting info so I don't trust that source.
I was wondering, for example, if there is any difference between the new models (Pearl and Stainless) besides the obvious color/finish? Do they get dusty inside after being used a while? Also, what are the differences between the new model and the older ones? Did the older ones use a turbo-brush like the new models or were they more like the "vibragroom" floor attachments that older Eurekas used? Also, given how much the ads harped on the feature, can one actually clean a regular flight of stairs without having to carry the cleaner?
Thanks in advance,
-- Paulo.
