Is this unit easy to move around? I will keep in basement but will have to move about 70 feet through the yard when needed to use.

It rolls easily over pavement, but it is quite heavy and may be difficult to move over grass or rough terrain.

It depends on what surface your rolling it on. I would not want to roll through snow or wet sloppy ground. Also obviously how strong you are is a factor.

That is relative my friend. It is a big machine and the wheels are quality. I 6'2" and 260 lbs. I can move it around but got tired of that and built a nice generator box right by my house. I created an outdoor plugin to run it to my transfer switch ($300 with self install). Works great. But is is big. Sux trying to move it in the snow. buy a few 2x4s, 4x4s, and plywood to remedy that problem (another $500 if you are handy). hope that helps. It is a great generator and runs my whole house (Small)

I'm 63, and I easily roll it up and down a steep 200 foot snow- covered macadam driveway.

It's reasonably well balanced, and it's easy to roll around on a concrete floor, but it's still heavy so moving it up hill or over rough terrain might be a challenge. I helped someone wheel it up a ramp into a pickup truck once. We're both big guys and it took both of us to push it up the ramp (which was on the steep side). I rolled it through the back yard on my own, but it wasn't the sort of thing that I would want to be doing frequently in the middle of the night in a snow storm.

It's relatively light and easy to move. It is a bit large to do solo as it will be somewhat wonky but still easy enough.We got one as a replacement for an L peninsula in our counter. Now we just pull it out when we have guests over and it gives us a nice island.

One thing to note is that you can install equipment interface next to or near the thermostat - it does not need to go to the basement (distance between equipment and unit is limited to 39 meters IIRC however).

Not at all. This is very sturdy. I installed it on a beam in my basement and it doesn't move whatsoever

It's quite easy to move. It does have a bit of weight to it but that helps to cover on the furniture without being flimsy and blowing off. It withstood our ridiculous Massachusetts snowfall and high winds with no problems.

It is easily moveble as long as you do not weight it with too much gravel. You could put a rock or something on top of the base if you are going to run into it. It stands by yourself just for shooting the ball.

I bought it for my grandson who lives in Minnesota. Thus far this summer, he has "driven" it outside on the driveway. I think my daughter plans to take it inside to the carpeted basement this winter. Sorry I could not be more help.

I agree with Scott N. answer. You could definitely use it out doors, but would not leave it out. It is not that difficult to move.

Yes your able move it around as you need it. Very durable and it should up. It has for me so far..

My wife was able to move it across the house inside the box with some difficulty. However, I would think it would be fairly difficult moving it upstairs as the box is approx. 3 feet wide and is bottom heavy.

It isn't heavy or hard to move around; it is relatively complicated to assemble. My maintenance man put mine together in about a half of a day. I am glad I got it approximately 3 years ago, it has bee used about 3 times per week and is plenty of work out stuff unless someone is super serious about muscle and workout.

It is awkward to move from place to place. I only move it from a shed to my deck and back.

It takes both my wife and myself to move the unit. We have it in a room that is carpeted, it may be easier to move on a hard wood floor. The unit is quite heavy and the wheels are very small. I hope this helps.

It moves very easily. I can pick it up with no problem. We use it to scare birds away and move it around during the day.

Didn't have any trouble at all and I live in a downstairs basement apartment - hope that helps :)

We roll it around all the time. It's easy to move. The length of the hose and AC power cords are the only limitation that we have found.

The unit has a gear drive that is powered by the water going through it. I travels along the hose that you lay out and set the unit on. The coverage is controlled by the position of the sprinkler arms and the water pressure, which also controls the rate of travel. The unit has two speeds, and can be taken out of gear and set in one location. It can be used in any area that has clearance for the arms to be able to rotate, about 30 inches. By positioning the arms you can adjust the coverage areas from about ten feet to twenty feet from the unit On bare ground I would say that it can only go about 50ft before the weight of the hose will cause it to dig into the dirt, and stop the unit. On grass it can pull enough hose to move about 100ft. Effectively you would be dragging about half of that length of hose. It can follow curves that have a 10ft radius or greater. I would not think it would be too good in a flower bed where the hose bend would be moving along behind the unit, unless there was sufficient room between the plantings. I have a large back yard with a bare area that has trees on both sides, it is about a 140ft run. By laying out a 100ft hose I can water the whole area and the trees, but I do have to go pull the hose up when it is about half the way through.
