 sweet Aug 20, 2010

Pretty awesome toy. I put it together in a few minutes. You can crash it into the wall and it will be alright. The only thing is, is you have to operate it on a hard flat surface, like wood or tile.

Good Learning Project Apr 22, 2011
By W. Griffith
"EveStev"
I bought this for my 10-year old son (he has a fascination with hoover crafts) for a father-and-son project. The hoover craft assembled easily, and really hoovered nicely. It doesn't allow any steering, so it only goes in a straight line, but it comes with a pretty strong electric motor, and the hoovering effect is really cool. My son enjoyed it, and so did I. The only problem now is, he wants me to build a larger one for him to ride on!

This is a really fun toy. Who doesn't love a hover craft? Good project and educational at the same time. I recommend it.

 Not worth it Jan 06, 2012
By NCmom
Let me say first, we did enjoy putting it together. My husband and I both have electronic/mechanics backgrounds, and explained to the kids how it was supposed to work. Yes, I said supposed to work.
When we put it together per the instructions, the polarity was reversed. To give them credit, in the troubleshooting section-they did tell you to just reverse the wires. No big deal. Once we got the motor blowing air in the right direction, it still wasn't inflating. Turned it upside down again, and went all the way around the bottom with scotch tape making sure there was no other way for the air to leak out. Success! ...so we thought. It did inflate, but once we set it down, it deflated and didn't move. Picked it back up, and it inflated again, for about 20 seconds. Then it just quit. Engine crashed and the batteries were super-hot to the touch.
Overall, it's great for the educational knowledge, but if you want something that actually WORKS-try a different kit.

Super cool Hover craft Mar 05, 2012
By Todd R. Bradley
"1maxpower"
I bought this hovercraft for my son (10 yrs old) for Christmas. He was very excited to get to work on it. Unfortunately we were shorted the "skirt" which is the pillow on the bottom. I contacted the company via their website and they apologized for the missing component and sent out the missing part from Hong Kong at the company's cost. It took about 3 weeks to receive the part and we finished the assembly.
It actually worked a lot better than I expected. First I turned it on when it was on the kitchen table and it shot across the table. Then I put it on the kitchen floor to give it more room and it skated around without problems. Just as a matter of experiment I put it on our carpeted floor and it actually worked on there as well. My son was very excited to see it zipping around and honestly so was I. Homer Simpson even went for a ride until it crashed into the cupboard.
Overall, the directions are very clearly worded and illustrated. The double sided tape was a bit of a pain at first but I got it figured out alright. I was surprised with the quality of the final product, certainly worth the price.
Recommended.
