How can one tell whether the machine is self-propelled...."push,", "wheel," "auger" What do those terms mean?

Yes, the Power Smart snow blower is self-propelled. There are (2) rotating handles near the upper handlebar that you use to steer the machine. One handle engages the auger and the other handle propels the machine forward or reverse depending how you have the controls lever set. You can engage each handle at the same time or one at at a time.Hope this answers your question.

Self-propelled means it has power to the wheels, providing drive while it uses the auger, or screw, to churn up the snow and throw it. A second stage blower has two augers - one pulls snow into the lower chamber and the other blows snow out of the funnel on top.

It is not motorized. It operates under your power. It is a very sturdy machine and I like it.

Yes the vacuum is self propelled. Best buy website lists the shark vacuum cleaners features and it also has customer reviews.

For me it was electric push v gas push. I bought this to replace a 13 year old MTD that just wasn't cutting it anymore. I have had this since March 2010 and am still very pleased with it. It always charges, it always starts, it is less than half the noise, there are no fumes, and there is no gas in my garage. Trade a Honda gas-self-propelled? Hmm. If it works well, I'd say keep it until it needs replacement or costs too much to service, then buy one of these.

No it's not self propelled. It's not very heavy but would recommend to research for which is lighter and self propelled in order for your needs. Since is a slope and there's back pain, wouldn't be good to strain yourself.

I do not think any electric lawn mower is self propelled. . would be a safety problem. You will not have any problem with this mower. . . lightweight, sturdy and easy to handle.

The self propelled mower takes a car type battery is heavy and takes a long time to charge.I think this one is a better value for the motor alone even though one of the batteries is just 2Ah.also not self propelled.GreenWorks 2500502 DigiPro G-MAX 40V Cordless Lawn Mower, 19-Inch

Hi Frank. No, this is a push mower. If you have lots of hills, that may be a negative. But if you, like I, have basically level lawns, with this mower, all engine power goes to the blade. As I mulch rather than discharge, this is a big plus. Hope this helps. John

It is self propelled and has several reverse drive gears. You can also press both turn levers and it is easy to pull in reverse manually. It can be turned around easily by pressing one of the turn levers which disengages the drive wheel on that side causing the snow blower to turn around that idled wheel.

Hi Bill, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This wheelchair is able to be self-propelled.

No. I didn't want self propelled because it is so much heavier and if the wheels get smooth, they have to be replaced or it won't move very well.. A good lawnmower if you can push and don't have hilly yard. Pretty light. The rubber on the handle grip you have to hold down to start and run, can cause a blister if you don't watch it. Starts real easy too. Good luck.

no, this model is not self-propelled. It is, however, light and easily maneuverable.

You manually lift it in and out of transport position. When in use, the plow slides up and down on the push frame as the contour of the ground changes.

Well, honestly it depends on the thickness of your grass. It seems to go rather well even at a thicker grass, but you usually would have to adjust the level of the wheels bagger or no bagger etc. This machine does not have a self propelled mechanism, but it starts pretty easily every time. It cuts good, too!

The mower is set up to have the self propelled drive the mower. When the drivegear failed, I removed the drive belt because it would have cost as much as the mower to replace. The mower could be pushed without the drive gear, but it is heavy and wasn't as easy to push as a non-propelled mower of the same size.

I don't know if the model has been changed in that regard (I doubt it) but my wheels are grounded when I lift the deck. The treadmill moves very easily backwards or forwards and requires some twisting if if you need to *turn* as the wheels are straight.

It is not self-propelled. The weight is about the same as a gas mower (the battery is fairly heavy). A mower with an electric cord instead of a cordless one may be lighter, but I am not sure.
