Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover S3341 Constellation Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Easy to Use Vacuum
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're familiar with "air hockey," you can imagine how the Constellation moves. It glides on a cushion of air, and therefore moves around very easily. However, this wonderful feature has a drawback you have to get used to; if you set the Constellation down in a pile of dust, the dust in the immediate area gets blown around. The way to avoid this is to vacuum from a clean area, toward a dusty area, always keeping the vacuum behind you, in a clean area. This may sound like a pain, but I find it easy to do, and the ease with which the Constellation moves makes up for having to adopt a new cleaning method.
In 1970 I was given a 1950's vintage Constellation that had been in continuous use. I used it happily until 2004, when it finally broke down. That makes about 50 years of service. In all those years, the only maintenance was a new cord.
When I started shopping for a replacement, I was sadly disappointed. I looked at everything on the market, and found shoddy materials and hard-to-use products. I finally settled on an expensive Ghibli designed for industrial use. It has a long cord, large bags, good suction, and is sturdy. But it doesn't follow me around like the Constellation did.
So, when I saw that Hoover was once again making the Constellation, I bought myself a brand new one. I was afraid Hoover might have made negative improvements, but most features match the original, and all materials are sturdy. The one disappointment is the heaviness of the tube (wand). Luckily I had saved the attachments from my old Constellation, and was able to use my old, light-weight alluminum wands. I have only wood and tile floors, with a few throw rugs, so when I vacuum, I use only the crevice tool. By doing this, I can instantly switch from floor to furniture to cob webs, without changing the attachment. Having the light-weight alluminum wands makes it much easier to lift the wand to ceilings, light fixtures, and picture frames.
The new Constellation follows me around with zero effort. Wherever I go, it is there behind me, so I finish vacuuming a lot faster. Other vacuums I have used are constantly getting caught on furniture, forcing me to lift or move them, or tug on them, often resulting in the vacuum tipping over.
The Constellation has a long cord, so you're able to vacuum a large area without plugging it in again. It also has a rubber rim around the middle, so if you bump it against a wall or furniture, there's usually no damage. The suction is powerful, so be careful around Legos and other small toys. There's an easy-to-reach adjustment that allows reduction of suction, making it easier to clean cloth surfaces. Noise is typical of other vacuums. You have the option of using HEPA bags (more expensive) or plain paper bags.
