Does this hose weigh less than other hoses?

I'm going to say 'yes' even though I haven't actually weighed it on a scale. It's 1/2" diameter which I would think naturally makes it lighter weight. It should say on the shipping weight or the manufacturer's website. I bought it for car washing & around the yard use because it's easier to handle & maneuver...not so much hose, & I guess weight, to struggle with. Hope that helps.

Not really, just your typical plastic hose. Gilmours headline for this hose is "the last hose you'll ever buy" what they mean is the last hose you'll ever buy from them..... Want a good top-notch rubber hose? lightweight and flexible.....try the Legacy Flexzilla. you wont regret it.

Yes, my my mother, a senior citizen, uses it and it is indeed light in comparison with other hoses. It really is a good buy.

If you mean is it heavy to handle NO, but it is much "heavier duty" than a regular hose and weights several times what a regular hose weights. I cannot weight at to tell you at this time as it is at home a couple hundred miles away, but I assume you may be ablte to find it with the product description or shipping information. If you want to use hot water this hose and an insulated nozzle is the way to go.

Yes...it's great and much lighter in weight than my previous Solano. I weighed it on my digital scale and it only registered 1 lb, so I believe it's as they list.

I am 72 years old and I don't have a problem watering with a 100 foot hose! I love it. I would say it might weigh 7 but not sure. Hope this helps.

The head of the faucet itself doesn't feel that heavy, maybe 2-3 pounds. It does feel good in your hand, substantial; you can tell its metal not plastic and that's what I liked about it. The combination of the head and the hose when you pull it out does feel heavy, and maybe someone with arthritis may find it difficult. There is metal cladding around the hose itself and that adds to the weight.

It will weigh less than 1 gram directly BUT I found it unreliable at these small weights. That was the reason I was dissatisfied with it.

It's not heavy. Maybe a pound. However, lifting it and an attached hose with water would make it heavier. About 4-5 pounds or so.

18.6 pounds. I would call it standard vac weight. Not light enough to just toss around but easily movable. If you're doing the stairs the hose stretches a good amount but if you have to lift the vac to get further you'll grunt a few times but its doable.

It's really a function of the nozzle you put on it. The diameter of it seems to be narrower thanthe normal hose and I have no problem than with the pressure.

I haven't weighed ours, but I find it lighter than our Hoover Windtunnel was. It may due to the location of the handle making it more comfortable to lift, but it feels far lighter to maneuver while vacuuming. I have neck and shoulder nerve damage and it is less painful to use.

no, it really does not weigh very much. There is a heating coil / element of some kind so it is really a rather simple device compared to say a drill, which has moving metal parts and is heavy. I have stripped paint from several shelves using this unit and the weight was not an issue. For full disclosure I was also taking frequent breaks to rest my back from bending over and to let fumes clear.

Regret to say I am not sure...but I can tell you this hose is light and oh-so-nice to use. My yard is large and this hose allows me to easily wander around watering the plants on the perimeter with ease.

I would think so. Just check the length u need. I bought the 1/2" so that is would be lighter for me to handle. This hose is flexible, soft, nonkinking and easy to roll up on my hose caddy. Love this hose!!!

The hose is thicker, it's a better quality than standard shop vacs. It is not that heavy. It is very flexible.

No it is not heavy. It is very easy to move around. The only thing I have a problem with is that the utility hose is very short. When I use it I usually knock over the main part of the vacuum. Very good suction.

Yes there is a pretty substantial reduction, but thats not as annoying as the weight of the hose increases as it fills with waterYou have to drag it along like a cartoon accordian.

Total weight of the 50 ft. is approximately 8 lbs. Weights of other lengths should be available on their web pages. I rarely have occasion to lift the entire hose, of course, When filled with water, these hoses are remarkably lighter than other types of hoses. I'm a senior citizen and find it easy to pull around the 100 ft. hose that I use. The light weight of the hose is definitely one of the main reasons I prefer the Tuff-Guard.
