Self-propel feature

Powered floorhead gently pulls forward when running, reducing push effort during passes.

Self propelling Glide wheels reduce pushing effort and help the H14 Pro feel easy for most people to maneuver, even if the feature cannot completely hide the vacuum’s underlying weight for every user.

Motorized wheels provide noticeable forward and backward assist, so the vacuum often feels lighter in use than its actual weight suggests.

Users like the strong self-propel assist that pulls the cleaner forward with little effort, though the powerful drive can feel surprisingly forceful on first use.

Owners frequently mention a gentle self-propelled feel—either via wheels or strong roller traction—that pulls the unit forward with minimal effort; some reviewers note it is not as strong in assisted reverse movement as a few competitors.

Although it lacks powered wheels, vigorous brush pull effectively self-propels the unit, reducing the effort needed to push it.

Motorized wheel assist makes the H13 Pro easier to push than the H12 Pro and helps to cut arm fatigue on longer cleaning sessions.

Stretch S6 lacks powered assist wheels, but the brush driven pull keeps forward motion relatively easy even though there is no assistance when you pull the vacuum back.

Compared with H13 Pro, H14 drops powered assist wheels and instead relies on brush pull, so it feels less self-propelled even though pushing effort remains manageable.

H12 Pro lacks powered wheel assist, making it feel heavier to move than newer Dreame models that add self-propulsion.

The lack of assist wheels or strong brush traction makes this the most tiring model in the group to push and steer.
