Summary: Cool in theory, but dumb in real life
Comment: Like others, we had one of these when I was a kid. It was fun to play with but miserable for vacuuming.
Its suction is not impressive--too much of that 12 amps go into keeping the thing aloft (and scattering dust).
Worse, the hovercraft action only works well on a perfectly flat (and preferably hard) floor. Too easily, the base gets hung up on any change of level--tile-to-carpet, wood-to-rug, its own cord--and, as often as not, the machine tips over. You either have to go back and free or right the thing, or--out of exasperation--drag it across the floor on its side. It isn't especially good about moving around furniture and gets hung up or tips over, which is especially annoying in small rooms.
There's a good reason this design never took off.

Summary: Have patience
Comment: Just got the Hoover Constellation, mainly for the floors and dusting. Love the little guy, but agree about the cord winding problem. Figured it out! Turn it off, tilt the canister on its side and it'll wind around in no time. Also takes patience learning to maneuver thresholds and it coming up behind you too fast on floors. The trick is to take advantage of the great length on the hose and not yank it too fast. Would appreciate ANY and ALL suggestions on use! Overall, it does what I want am quite happy with the product.

Summary: Best vacuum I've ever owned!!!
Comment: I've owned so many vacuums in the past ten years & they all have been nothing but trouble. I haven't owned this one long, but so far it is fabulous. Has amazing suction & is so easy to vacuum. It's not heavy at all & it just glides behind you. I would be careful with the on & off switch it seems like you need to be gentle. It flips up & down but doesn't feel very durable. Wrapping the cord is no big deal to me I just put it in the closet with cord piled on top. The cord is wonderful it's extra, extra long. You will love this vacuum!!!

Summary: Jane Jetson would be so jealous!
Comment: okay, this is the cutest little vacuum cleaner ever! i had just vacuumed with my old dirt devil, which was sucking (but not literally), when i decided to buy a new vacuum. when this one arrived 3 days later, you should have heard the amount of dirt it picked up that the dirt devil had left on the floor. and did i mention that it is soooo cute? the non-retractible cord isn't that big of a deal. if you've ever had a vacuum with one, you know that they always break anyway. just take the hose off and leave the power on, and spin it around until it reaches the wall where it's plugged in. one other slightly annoying thing is the fact that the handle won't stand up by itself. it won't go any straighter than it's shown in the picture, but unfortunately becuase it's on rollers, it won't lean against the canister as shown, either. i store them separately in the closet, so not that big of a deal. and it really is quiet. and it has never hit my ankles. for an inexpensive little vacuum, i'd say it's grrreat.

Summary: Gimmick w/ bad ergonomics
Comment: The float on air thing works okay, but if you are going over both rugs and flooring, it can get flummoxed and stuck. It also tends to get caught up in its own cord. The vacuum suction works well, but the handle ergonomics are pretty awful--no real grip/hold and it curves at an awkward angle, twisting your wrist. Finally the metal straight pole fits into the plastic part with just friction--it comes apart while you are vacuuming!

The Hoover S3341 Constellation Bagged canister floats on air, which allows it to safely glide along on all types of floors. The canister is of all steel construction. The powerful 12-amp motor gives you the suction power necessary for all cleaning needs but is also very quiet. The Turbo Power Nozzle allows you to get hard to reach dirt in your carpet. The Breathe Easy system with Hepa filtration bag traps 99.9%of all particles down to .3 microns. This deluxe tool set gives you everything you need to clean. The tools feature coarse hair bristles that are tough on dirt but gentle on floors. The tools include a 12-inch hard floor nozzle that can be used on hard wood, slate, tile, marble and linoleum floors. A 6-inch upholstery brush can be used with or without brushes and a crevice tool. The tools all fit at the end of a 12 feet stretch hose and a telescoping wand that adjusts from 23 to 39 inch which gives you a full 15 feet of cleaning reach.
