why does it weigh so much more than other comparable units?Is the 9.4 lb a mistake or is there a functional reason ?

Yes it does weigh 9.4lb. I really like this computer. It is not a mistake on the weight.I use it in my home.

Well if you are carrying it everywhere its a little on the heavy side but not to bad. I got it for mainly home use , I like it good laptop

I think they might have that backwards...I don't think mine weighs more than 6.7 pounds, but in the box they send it in, it's almost a hard case for it. Mine weighs about 6.5 lbs.

Hi Rachel....the unit is well built and can hold a lot of weight...not sure precisely how much, but it's worth the money. The company did send us the wrong pieces initially though, so beware of that.

this thing weighs less than a pound. this is just a guess because I never actually waited it.

I looked in the technical details part of the Amazon listing itself-says it weighs 40 lbs. I know it is heavy, just did not realize it was 40 lbs.

I returned mine due to inaccuracy, but I remember reading about the switch in the user's manual. I think it selects whether the weight displayed is the instantaneous weight or the maximum weight over a period of time. Check the manual if you've got it.

IT is a bit heavy. Not sure of the weight bc I am not home, but it may be something to think about before ordering it. The weight is what attracted me to this bc others were so flimsy. I would bet it is not quite a half a pound.

Hello: If you're in reasonable health I see no problem with the issue of weight. The unit will be sitting on the surface when in use. The only time weight is a consideration is when the machine is lifted for storage. About the same weight as a large vacuum cleaner. BTW: Unit still in use and has not experienced any failures. The wife loves it. She uses it to clean the back porch. Need to be careful with the real heavy spring snow to keep the motor from getting overloaded and slowing down. A little at a time is a good rule to remember. Sure beats the shovel.

Yep. It's actually heavier than I expected. No problems as of yet, with a 9 ft!

It is actually the 4 lbs but it tips backwards so I feel it is dangerous to use.

Nope, it sure isn't. I have bought numerous of these. I'd say it's closer to 4-5 lbs. They work great tho!

I would not call it weighted. It is a little heavier just because it is bigger

I agree with the previous answer. I'm not sure where the 9 pounds came from. There is no way this item weighs 9 pounds; 6 ounces seems more reasonable.

It weighs 4.6 lb on my bathroom scale. Not scientific bu it gives you an idea.

It is heavier than my previous smaller one. (Not counting the added water weight.)

I don't have an answer for that, those were my thoughts also. Getting a larger tent allows for more movement while working inside so that was my reason for buying along with the additional savings. This version might also be a better seller therefore they are able to discount this product to attract more buyers. Anyways this is a great piece of equipment. It's built very well and it should last for many, many years if taken care of. I think the initial weight as it arrives in it carrying case is over 70 lbs, it's a beast.

I have this model and I'd say it's less than a pound, so theoretically it's not that heavy. Of course the longer you use it the heavier it feels since your arm gets tired, but that's a separate issue...goodluck
