Is it just me - or do others feel that the cleaner seems to lift the pile
of the carpet better when pulled backwards? Is there an opportunity to
improve the design to make them as good on the "push"?

Perhaps because the pile isn't then being flattened by the weight of the
vac itself following the suck.

You could always come up with a design that separates the suck from the
weight of the vac...?

It's long surprised me that uprights have one brush going in one direction rather than two, one running each direction.

It probably depends on the construction of the carpet. Most of the movement
goes away after a few people have walked on it after all.

Direction of rotation of the brush/beater bar and the lay of the
carpet pile.

Why? Surely you push and pull the cleaner over the carpet.

That's a throw back to the days when the brush was driven by a central
belt, so you had to overlap. Modern uprights have a side belt so you
can use them like a lawnmower.

It is an electric machine - I should be able to walk along pushing it in
front of me. Extra effort is needed to overcome the momentum if you push
and pull with a scrubbing action. Perhaps an old habit but it really
shouldn't be needed.

I have a vision of long rooms with no furniture in the way, not like my home

Agree, there is minimalist and nothing... Hoovering like cutting the
grass, I can't see how you get the headlands for turning.

My brother simply stood the tractor on its rear wheels (long time ago - Ford
5000 and 5-furrow plough) span round whilst turning the plough over.

For the nice clear room, you need a 5-head reversible hoover, robotic of
course.
