Hi Venson: I'd offer the new bag too as a reason for difficulty to push AND the pile and pattern of the rug. Ease and difficulty of pushing and pulling vacuums oftentimes is dependent on the direction of the vacuum over the rug pile and fibers: against versus with. Most times users can alter the direction and see/feel the difference. Other times due to the placement of furniture and small size of the carpet being cleaned versus size of vacuum, user can't and has top tough it out. Certainly adjusting the rug height higher may ease the push pull weight but degrade the cleaning and grooming. Carmine D.
Carmine,
Gotta agree with you on this one. All my carpeted rooms are the same carpet, installed at the same time. I have 2 rooms that have a section of the carpet where the vacuum is difficult to push and bounces when pulled back across the spot. The vacuum is also more difficult to push (say north and south) than east and west on most all of the carpet.

Note the part of your post I highlighted. Is this the case with a particlular vacuum or all you use on the rug? Is this the case with and without the vacuum running or just when in use? Carmine D.

The lighter vacs are worse. Kirby and Dyson not as bad as others.
I have only noticed it during use. However, I do not push the vac around for pleasure or exercise when not in use.

Why did I know you would say this! Touche. I was trying to get at the point made by Vacmanuk about wheel design and form. Though his experience was with sticking dyson wheels. Wheel design and form, as with your HOOVER lightweight platinum bagged versus say an ORECK, can affect push/pull vacuum weight in addition to the revolving brush rotating against the natural weave of the carpet. Comparing the push and pull vacuum weight over the rug area in question in the on AND off mode would tell the degree of the impacts.
