Is it self-propelled

No, but it's very light-weight and easy to handle. With an empty bag, I think it only weighs 8 lbs.

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.

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

not self propelled - the blower is light in comparison to gasoline counter part - personally did not have issues on the pushing the blower. 15 amp is a big draw for our house circuit. 6-8 inches of packed snow should not be an issue. One foot of snow from the last snowfall was cleared but we had to reset the fuse 3 times.

The vacuum is self propelled in the carpet mode but not the bare floor mode

It's not motorized, it revolves as you turn it yourself --- and it does turn easily while staying balanced.

It is and that's all that's good. The one I received cuts uneven and self propelled doesn't work very well. Also no one seems to care as I still have it.

No. It's not self propelled but it requires little effort to use. If you've ever used a Rug Doctor you're in for a pleasant surprise. This is pretty much like using a vacuum.

It is self propelled. Once you start moving you dont need to step down to give impulse, so no need for a slope, it works perfectly in flat surfaces

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

I don't know if I would call it self-propelled, but when the roller brush is on and it's clean, mine pulls itself. Without the brush on, it doesn't do it.

This vacuum doesn't have a feature specifically called "self-propelled," but I do not find it difficult to navigate on carpet and floors. It might help you to know that I replaced a self-propelled Hoover WindTunnel with this Kenmore. I think the handling is just as agile as the Hoover even though the Kenmore is a heavier vacuum. I'm a 5'2", female baby boomer not in particularly robust shape, if that bit of info helps you.

It is not motorized. However it turns easily and by turning it yourself you can maintain good control for best results.

Despite the other answer left by some poor clueless individual, there is such as thing as self-propelled vacuums. However, this particular Hoover IS NOT self propelled.

In the lower suction setting, not really. In the higher suction setting it seems to 'float' on the carpet. Self propelled? It depends on your definition. It is an awesome vacuum!
