best vacuum,lite ,easy and powerful:
This vacuum is so easy to get around with. It is like pushing a feather duster around, but very powerful. If you have a bad back and can't push those heavy up-rite vacs anymore then I recommend this hoover.
Cool in theory, but dumb in real life:
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).

Best vacuum I've ever owned!!!:
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... more info
