No, it is a manual push. In fact, it is very easy to push. I'm not sure what the previous answer from Joe was referring to, but this mower need not be on to move around.

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.

No you cannot run the real without using the self propelled and this is something I didn't know until I received the mower.... It's a fine mower but I'm not a fan of that design.

The vac is not self-propelled; when not powered up it is heavy to push over carpet. However, when it is turned on it is very easy to maneuver, probably because of the spinning roller-brush. No problem on hard floors of course. Heaviness is not a concern, in my opinion.

I don't know about "self-propelled" but on carpets the roller brush seems to pull it forward making it very easy to maneuver. The attachment that flattens to go under beds and furniture has wells but does not "pull" itself. The attachment for upholstery and stairs DOES have a small roller brush and it does make it easier to operate. We have had ours for 3-4 years now and it works like new. I do not miss buying bags and the emptying system ensures no contact with debris and the washable filters are still good.

Worx has a self-propelled model. Please check their website for the correct model number. Also, please be aware of the fact that the battery is only warranted for one year, a new one costs $221 and I've had two batteries each of which only lasted two years!

It is motorized you just need to make sure you have a good alignment. My house shifted so I do have to turn the knob and pull a little but very solid and well made

It is very light weight and easy to move around I love it. It is self propelled

It is not. HOWEVER, the detaching action gently propels it forward. It is simple physics. You will like it.By the same physics, it dethatches nicely in the forward direction... if you drag it backwards it might dig-in a little... so just do a turn and continue.

No, but it only weighs a little over 50 pounds. I got rid of my Honda self propelled with fluid drive because it weighed about 102 pounds and was difficult to move around trees and difficult to pull back and negotiate in other situations.

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

No, they are not technically self-propelled. However, when you use the spin-brush function on carpet (there is a switch so you can choose if you want to use it or not), it practically pushes itself. I find it very easy to use and especially easy to carry it upstairs. I really don't have anything negative to say about it, it's perfect!

No vacuum is not self-propelled, however it seems easy enough to manuever being more on the lightweight side.

It's motorized. Also, when you remove the hose for cleaning curtains or dust the motor for the brush stops. I've had a great experience with this vacuum.
