New Maytag Satellite/Hoover Constellation with UK plug **HELP**

If I took it to a vacuum repair shop…

Say Aerus/Electrolux…which is the one I normally go to. To purchase new machines and get my old ones repaired. They’ve replaced motors and cords as well as switches and electrified hoses on a few different vacuums I’ve had. Mostly Electrolux Epic upright and canister style machines, but I’ve heard them say multiple times as well as advertise that they service all makes and models of vacuums.

However the “we service all” might mean only very basic rudimentary repairs like burnt out light bulbs or loose belts for vacuums that are not Aerus/Electrolux brand. I’m not sure.

Since I’d be likely to get it apart and never be able to get it back together again (even if I could find a Constellation motor to fit it—and a cord to re-wire it with) do you think they’d be able to take it apart and find a North American motor and cord to fit?

I’m thinking it may be a question/problem that they’re unfamiliar with but may be able to do it…what do you guys think? I could call and ask but don’t know if they’d even know what to tell me. It’d also likely be quite expensive, since even getting a cord replaced there is usually over $100 if I remember correctly…
 
I am pretty sure your vacuum repair shop could harvest the proper 120 volt motor and wiring from old trade-ins they might be collecting. My concern is that the uniqueness of your request - having bought a 220-volt Maytag from Europe because it is unique - will cause the shop to take advantage of you and charge an exhorbitant price to transform your Connie so that it can be used in a Canadian home.
