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 & pull.

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

I moves fast on carpets. It depends on how much you have to vacuum. I use mine heavily in commercial cleaning. Your attachment head will wear over time. You can buy replacements here really cheap. You will get shoulder fatigue, but it is less than a standard vacuum. I would also suggest an oreck since it is light weight.

We have mainly concrete floors we use it on but we have some large rugs and it's easy to go over the rugs I love the vacuum put it on like a back pak and go to work less back aches I've noticed than using b4 the other vacs

what kind of carpet do you have? you're probably not going to have great luck pushing this on any carpet as it's a brush attachment. it works great while pulling over "low pile" rugs or floor mats, but my place is 90% tile.

I use my rollator outside but we also use it as a transport chair when going out. My wife sometimes runs into problems when pushing me in doorways with an elevation separation. This is easily handled by pulling me in, in reverse. I have hardwood floors so I can not respond to the question regarding carpet. It's a good product.

I had rotator cuff surgery in Jan. '13. When I was able to start rehabbing, my assistant recommended I start out slowly with the Bodyblade. She said it would work the smaller muscles and tendons I had re-attached. It was a bit uncoordinated at first. I still use it today as my main workout. It's a miracle exerciser and today I can almost do everything I could do before my accident. I'd highly recommend it to any age.

I haven't tried it on a carpet. Sorry can't help with that one. I think it is probably worth a try though!

It doesn't roll as easy on carpet... But it's wonderful on hard floors. We use ours as a dual use high chair and walker. On the carpet, it actually works out that he can't move around too much, that way we can feed him with less movement and mess

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.

Easy! Just roll it out onto your carpet and it sticks automatically with a sticky side. Pulls up easily afterwards with no damage to your carpet.

It is lighter than many. Very easy to push when cleaning carpets. Hardly requires any effort. However, it feels heavy when carrying it upstairs.

I have 20 years experience with Panasonic uprights in my cleaning business, all with the automatic height adjustment. If you have height adjustment, if you set it too low you may run into "drag" from too much suction. More often, I have found the problem of "hard to push" occurs more from the construction of the carpet than from the vacuum cleaner. Specifically the way the backing is constructed on the underside of the carpet. Try this: if you're getting too much drag pushing the vacuum "lengthwise" on the carpet, try turning it 90 degrees and go "crosswise". Sometimes the backing on the carpet is inhibiting the gliding. That's all I can offer and I hope it helps.

picks up great and maneuvers well but a little hard to push on carpet - but worth it b/c of strong suction

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.

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.

Hi Emily, the solution is only for hard floor surfaces, not carpets. I love this steamer for the tiled floors in my home, but I did not think it was great on the carpets. If you are looking for a carpet cleaning machine you can find better options. Good luck!

Yes, I guess that is its best usage.It is perfect for rig on carpet. Also, I recently took it off and nothing was damaged, which is a great benefit too.

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.

I think the electrocomfort attachment sucks on hard surfaces but that's probably just me. I have linoleum and tile in my house and I prefer not to use the carpet attachment for it.

I don't have a plush carpet. But on I my shorter carpets it moves very easily. The easiest to vacuum I have ever used as far as maneuvering goes.
