I like this vacuum cleaner for my basement. It’s a big floor and I have three cats and of course the litter spills over from their little paws. I thought it would be hard to push when I took it out of the box and I almost returned it, but then I started pushing it around, and it is super easy to maneuver. Especially on tile and wood. it is fine on carpets too, but I am a physical whimp it’s got to be easy for me to push. It’s made very well. Try it WAYFAIR is wonderful about returning things, but I think you will like it.
