PowerGlide? Does this mean it is self-propelled? I am physically disabled with small budget. Need one. Thnks.

Not really. When the brush is engaged, it kind of moves it along, but it's wheels are not propelled. I do find it quite easy to move around on tile and wood floors, and forward on carpet. It's a little handful when drawing it back...

Yes it is self-propelled. But to pull back its really hard. I have been trying to like this vacuum but it still lacks in so many ways.

No, I would contact Bissell regarding self propelling vacuums. I think that is a very good option for the future and I know I would be interested in that as well. I once borrowed the robo vacuum and had to empty it every 5 minutes. It needed rescuing all the time.

not self propelled look else ware as wife finds this heavier than our old one but works great

Sorry, it is not. Easy to push, but hard to pull and weighs about 17 pounds. I 'searched' self-propelled vacuums, and Amazon has 20 pages of them. Hopefully one will meet your needs.

Afraid not. It handles like a much lighter vacuum than it really is, but am afraid that it does not move on its own.

No it is not, I wouldn't want a self-propelled if that is what you are looking for most even the best ones tend to break then you are pushing 20 extra pounds around the yard And this is a very good mower for the money I like it a lot

It is not self propelled but very light weight. Steep hills will depend on who's pushing it.

What do you mean by "self propelled"? If it vacuumed on its own? Regardless of what ur question is I would recommend looking at other vacuum cleaners all together. Dyson is just a big name hype, and expensive.

Hi Cassie it is appropriate for any use where the patient will not need or is unable to wheel a standard wheelchair by themselves. The larger wheels on standard wheelchairs only give the user some control if needed, but they are much more cumbersome to use and carry around.

No it is not self propelled, it is light and that's why you get the bigger rear wheel so it moves easier and pushes easy.

No it's not self propelled but I am a 72 year old heart patient, and it is very maneuverable and rolls very easily. I do all the vacumm work at our house because my wife is disabled. I can do three large rooms with no problem. One of my favorite features is the roller brush cover. It removes without any tools so that socks and corners of bedspreads can be cleared easily and quickly. You know that without fail objects will accidentally get sucked up and cause your belt to burn up or even your motor. I know of no other vacuum that this feature.

IT's like most Electric Motorized, Motivated things~! Not Very LOAD at all, just glides along, and most of the noise comes from the wheels and road!

Yes you can use it as a manual scooter. You have to help it along a little up hill as well!

Single speed self-propelled. Didn't look at the wheels. I'm getting along fine with mine.

This model is not a self propelled one. They do have a model in the Wind Tunnel series that is self propelled.

This is the cheaper one with no wheels, It is an annoyance to move over hard surfaces, I take the weight off and carry it over the drive way. I believe they make a model with wheels.

I haven't had to replace it yet. Mine hasn't had a lot of hours on it. I find it hard for me to use mostly because of my age and handicaps. I expect to pay in the neighborhood of $125 when the time comes. I have a townhouse so the yard isn't large and can be covered in one charge. I recommend self propelled.

This is not a huge chair and thus maneuvering is fairly easy. I used it in my home as well as on a vacation for a week and I was fairly successful. The only unfortunate thing I found was that retailers are not always kind or cautious for people in wheelchairs....not leaving enough room to get around and making using their restrooms a nightmare. Good luck.

There is a different device offered for $199 which is a large wheel. It attaches to one side of the rear wheel of your bike. It turns it into a tricycle of sorts. I think this would suit your needs better. Check for handicapped bike attachments. This wheel will be morecle,

It's a motorized unit, it actually pedals for you. It is intended for people who have had a extended illness and need their legs or arms exercised for them.
