Yes, it is easy to push/pull. Much easier than our old Hoover SteamVac. However......I think it's easier to push/pull because the extraction suction is only about 20% of my old unit, even after 10+ years of use (lots of use.....we have 2 dogs) of my old unit.

yes, it is very easy to push,rolls easily and though they don't claim it,the power of the vacuum seems to help it move along forward,I have a bad back and it moves easily for me

I find it much better than reaching in and pushing on something. I found reaching in cumbersome, slow, and sometimes painful if you miss, slip, or drag your hand on the opening. Also the plastic parts of the ones that you push on break off and that is inconvenient. The versions of these that I bought still worked years after the kids were grown.

This is essentially a stationary unit, it has a bar to lift the until & pull with the 2 large wheels but it'll take both hands normally. Your not going to drag it as your using it. The price you pay for a strong motor.

I have a trundle and it is very hard for me to pull out on my carpet, is there something I can do.

Hi. Did you find a hand held that is good for picking up urine or liquids from carpet. I'm in search of something. Thanks.

picks up great and maneuvers well but a little hard to push on carpet - but worth it b/c of strong suction

If you are using the steam mode, it is easy to maneuver. My husband takes it out of my hands and cleans the floors for me. He loves it!

Not really, but you have to put pressure on the carpet roller attachment (I think its called the "beater bar"?) to get it to move. I have the same problem as you so I usually vacuum the carpet with the floor attachment. It is a little more labor intensive, but it does work. Maybe even a little better.

No, not really. You have to really work to get it to pick up stuff off carpet. Kills my back. My Wal-Mart "cheapy" works just as well if not better.

Honestly it's quite easy on the hands for me but that's with mild arthritis. The plastic is made of a hard concentrate so winding it is relatively very easy and effortless. I would think even someone with arthritic hands would find it bearable... now rheumatoid might be a different story but then again even an automatic grinder is hard to even push a button for someone with rheumatoid.

The carpet cleaner did not seem to heavy although I never had it completely together because I had to send it back for being damaged as soon as I removed it from the box. There was a piece broken off preventing me from securing the handle into the bottom unit. I would imagine that, after getting water in it, that it would become much heavier though and more difficult for an older woman to handle.

The Rug Rake does load up quite quickly, but it does a great job of picking up cat hair from a carpet. It's hard to remove the hair from the rake with your fingers, but I use a smaller soft wire brush like the "JW Pet Company GripSoft Cat Slicker Brush" or the "Oster Clean and Healthy Cat Slicker Brush" to remove the hair. Then it's quite easy to remove the hair from the smaller brush.

Yes, I have used my Carpet Cleaner, it is wonderful, the machine is of light weight and very easy to handle, as I ama Senior Citizen and I could handle it well.

Yes, for rooms on the same floor, the unit is fairly easy to move. It is heavy, but there are wheels on the front, so the back (light end) can be picked up and the unit pushed or pulled from room to room. This is a little more difficult on carpet. I recently moved my unit to the second floor, and that is definitely difficult as the unit is very solid and heavy. I'd recommend two strong individuals, or take it apart for that. Hope this helps.

So easy ... but sometines it can be hard to pull up, I must admit. Just pull up the lever in the front of the vacuum on the top.

Eureka RR bags and it is fairly easy to push depending on how high of a carpet setting you are using. Because its heavy its not the easiest to push.
