This iron weighs only 2.8 lb. But reviewer say it's (a) large & (b) heavy when filled, etc. Is it l relatively light or not? (Some = 9 lb.)

I had a lighter version of this iron 5 yrs. ago and loved it. This newer version is heavier, but I never fill my iron, so I have not weighed it. What I can say about this iron is that I love it for it's platinum coating on the base and when you iron with a heavier iron, it does so much of the work for you. As a professional seamstress, I recommend it. Remember you have a return policy. Enjoy.

It's heavier than some but I find I don't need to press down on it. I just lay it on my clothes and glide it over the wrinkles. For me it works better than other irons.

I really like the iron. It isn't real light, but I prefer a heavier iron. It's really a great iron!

I believe this is probably a misprint. My scales show it to be 4 lbs. Hope this helps, also the JS660 is the best and strongest B&D; I have used in my 77 years!

it is bit heavier as it's a professional series. Somewhere online I read that it was 2 lb and it's about right.

This iron is lighter than most irons. I don't find it to be heavy at all. It does a great job. I love mine.

Mine is no more than a pound or two. I wonder if the "8 pounds" refers to the capacity? Not sure about the shipping cost.

Lighter than my other cast irons! I'm guessing a couple pounds. I like how it cooks but beware the handle will get hot

It's cast iron so it's solid. As it says in the Amazon description, it is 5.6 pounds. I love it!

I think this is a light weight iron but I previous used a 5 pound tailor's iron. I bought this because it was much lighter than my old one. My girls also like this iron.

The description says 2 pounds and I believe it! It's good and solid and much heavier than ones you find in the stores. I love the handle.

I've been happy with how hot this iron gets. I also like its weight - which should help with heavier fabrics - you won't have to apply as much pressure.

Just at 2 pounds. It seems heavy, but it certainly is worth carrying the weight around!

It weighs about 25lbs.It is not that heavy since it is steel and not cast iron.

Shipping weight is listed at 19.8 pounds. The board itself probably weighs ~16 pounds. It's pretty heavy, but that's a good thing, because it's very stable, doesn't tip easily, even with the added weight of the iron. Very happy with mine.

I KNOW it doesn't weight 2 lbs....more like 4 to 5 ounces.......I have had mine for a while and really like it.

I'm not really sure, heavier than a regular iron, but I like it that way, it does more of the work for you, but it's not too heavy, I can still use it upright to steam hanging garments. I love it, I will never buy another regular iron again!

It weighed 3 lbs 4 oz (weighed it today). It is much lighter than a standard cast iron skillet of the same size, however, my problem with it was that it did not transfer the heat to the edges, only got hot where the burners hit it.
