I have an old Eureka Oxygen that is heavy and it hurts my back to lift it. Is this heavy to lift? I am trying to decide between this model and EL4103A

I don't find it to be particularly heavy. Most of the vacuum is made out of heavy duty plastic.

I don't find it too heavy and I hardly ever have to lift it since it just rolls along behind me. The weight for everything is 20 lbs. but just the canister would be less than that.

It's not particularly heavy. A lot of it is heavy duty plastic. Its well made and sturdy but not that heavy. I carry it up stairs easily but it probably isn't as light as some of those cheaper brands.

For the price this was the best value. We love it. It is really quite and has great suction. Have not had any problem and also found additional bags on line thru amazon at great price. Very light weight. We had Oreck which was heavy, dont use it any more.

No I have not, but you are only picking up a little more than half the weight!!!! I believe I would buy the bigger lift to be safe!!!!

Your motor will not be any trouble to lift with the hoist. This is one of the best built hoists on the market. We use it for 150-200 pound sheep and other things around the farm. I would not hesitate to purchase the Foreverlast.

Mine is an older model "The Boss" made by Eureka. But, from what I understand, Electrolux bought out Eureka. I was also told that it was going to be a metal body after Electrolux took over. Mine has a plastic body. My guess is it will probably fit.

That is a heavy zero , but lots of the weight is to the back also . My scag is 840 lbs. and handles it well . I think if you jack your mower up and put 2 jack stands under for added safety , I think you will be okay.you are only lifting the fringe end.

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.

That I can't answer. I was just moving living room furniture. So the heaviest thing I needed to lift with it was a couch and entertainment center.

Great Question :) So first of let me start out by explaining vacuuming shag carpet and why its different. So this is one of the lightest vacuum cleaners made. However its a very powerful deep cleaner and the heaviest part of any vacuum cleaner is the suction motor. So I would not suggest returning it for a lighter vacuum as it will not clean as good. Shag carpet is thicker and is also more absorbent of dirt and debri. In other words it will hold more dirt in it and also requires a more powerful vacuum to clean it like the Prolux 6000. So yes it is normal for vacuum cleaners to be harder to push in shag as its sealed down to the carpet and really working to clean them. So you can get a lighter vacuum but I would not suggest it as it wont clean as good. So how to make it easier? This sounds funny but you could vacuum backwards by trying to pull the vacuum more than trying to push it. You could also use the floor tool as its not as wide and would be easier to push. However doing that wont clean as good. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (Seller)

155 pounds would not release my handle. I pried the plastic latch open, beveled both surfaces with a file, and it now works fine. Too bad Eureka continues to ignore this operational problem.

It is lighter than my eureka but still a full size upright. I had no trouble getting it up& down stairs but she needs to have a strong arm on the side she's carrying. Hope this helps!

The shovel can pick up more than I care to lift. It's very wide and sturdily built. It did relieve strain on my back but the load still has to be moved. In this case my shoulders will get tired after a while. We had two big storms with in a few days of each other. After the snow plows went by on each day the snow was very high on the end of my driveway. I was able to get the yukon under the edge and tilt it back, however that time I could hardly slide the sled. I would consider that example extreme and wouldn't hold it against the yukon. One trick I've been using is spraying the bucket and the bottom with wd40 or vegetable oil to help with expelling snow. The unit was so big that I had to take it out of the box to get it in my mini van.

It is pretty heavy, I cannot move it but my husband can. I am recovering from open heart surgery, so I haveen't been using it as an elliptical mode. It is a good sturdy machine.

My BadBoy ZT-6000 weighs about 900 lb and the Lift has no problem lifting the front end. The Lift is rather easy to use, and stores away nicely. I am very happy with it.

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.

It's too heavy for me to move/lift myself (60 yr old female), but the ladder is worth getting anyway. It has wheels and can be rolled most places. I can extend the ladder by myself, but it goes more quickly with someone helping.

It isnt very heavy. It rolls on the 4 wheels and the internal suction takes up the leaves etc. I'm not sure I would recommend this machine. Its been out for repairs twice this year.

Love my Delta 46-460. I've seen many different sizees and manufacturers of lathes weighted down by sandbags, etc, but really just when turning extremely uneven pieces. Can't say I've ever really noticed how heavy a lathe was once I had it set up.
