how easy is this to use on carpets? I have had two rotator cuff surgery's and can't stand something that is tough to push &amp; pull.

Works best and easily on hard flooring. Works ok, with only minor exertion, on carpet with little to no pile.

I suggest you speak to an orthopedic specialist. Everyone is different. I had shoulder surgery to repair a damaged rotator cuff and I use kb regularly. But, you should speak to an orthopedist.

Works very well on my carpet. You use it like you would use a rake. My carpet has a thick pile and doesn't get dirty but the pile can get pressed down from walking on it. Using the rake means less vacuuming for me. It would work well to pick up pet hair but I have no pets.

Super easy. I move mine all the time. The feet are stainless steel disks so they slide on carpet.

I have used the carpet cleaner twice on normal carpet and when I am suctioning I lift up slightly on the handle to create more suction. I feel it is a very impressive machine for its size and the carpet dries quickly.

I found this vacuum to be a little hard to handle, the hose keeps getting on my way, it heavy plus it's not very good using it on carpet, I ended up buying a tool for hardwood floors and that its it's in use, hope it helps!

I use it on plush carpet. It slips a little, but I move it back with a quick tug. Doesn't hurt the workouts. No stains after months of using it

Hi! We have wooden floors but we used it a bit on carpet, it was easy to use. Its a great walker and the tray is very helpful.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

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.

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 roll on my wood floors, it rolls really well on them. Also, I haven't had any issue with carpet. Worst thing that has happen while rolling is my shirt bunches up while rolling. Well worth the cost!!

I have been using it on my newly refinished hardwood floors without any issues. Does not seem to scratch them and it picks up well. However I have found it somewhat hard to move over my new plusher carpet even on the lowest suction level.

I personally don't have shag carpets, so take this for what its worth--I think it might be a little too rough. You have to push with a little force to pull up the pet hair, so I think that same force would dig it into your carpet fibers and pull up or loosen pieces of the shag. This is just my guess. I don't have shag carpeting, so I love this thing.

it is terrific on carpeting. I had just used my old vacuum and then I used the Eureka on my carpets. it pulled out so much dirt, the dark red carpet looked brighter! To vacuum on carpet, put the head way ahead of you and then pull it towards you slowly.

The suction was pretty good the first time I used it. Since then not so much. I have no carpet in my house. If you are planning to use this on carpet don't, it's not made for that. The only thing I really like about it is the upholstery tool. I do use that to vacuum my couch and it gets the dog hair out great.
