If you fill the container, say w/flour, can you pick it up w/handle or would it be too heavy?

I fill it with flour and lift it by the handle all the time. It fits nicely and sug. I plan on ordering more for the sugar too.

Yes the handle is pretty sturdy. I believe it holds about 15 lbs of flour. Mines filled just over half now and I can lift it no problem.

These are lightweight containers. If you put 5 pounds of flour in it, it won't weigh much over five pounds.

Oh, sorry....I re-read your question! Once the top is locked on, you can lift at least 5 pounds without fear of the top coming off. I would feel comfortable filling the container up, too.

I keep mine pretty much full of flour and lift it by the handle to get it from the cabinet to the counter. The lid is sturdy, easy to hold and fits well. I like the locks, I have problems with my hands but this is easy even for me. I really like this container, I'm so happy I found it.

Depends on what you're putting in there. I have several light items so it isn't a burden. If you're putting heavy equipment, it could be overwhelming.

You absolutely can! Though when I stack that many I have to be sure that the goodies aren't too heavy for one lid. If so, I'm afraid to use the handle and have to find another way to carry it.

I guess you could. You would have to lift the basket each time you wanted to get something out of it.

I would not try it with just the handle you might slide your hand under it as you pick it up

We use it for cereal which is not as dense as sugar. It weighs about 6 lbs. when filled with cereal and the handle is not an issue. the top snaps tightly on all 4 sides so I think it should be able to deal with a little more weight, maybe 8-9 lbs without a problem. The handle does not budge when lifting a full container of cereal. It is firmly mounted.

My wife can pick it up and put in the back of out pick up but it does weigh more than 25# and is sort of awkward to handle. It is about all she can handle.

That's a difficult question to answer. If you fill the can it will weigh over 40 pounds. The distance between the red can handle and the silver release pull is not great and hand size should not be a problem, but you have to overcome the spring tension of the silver handle to pour gas, and maintain that to continue to pour. You could fill the can with a lesser amount of gas to make it lighter, but I can't give an accurate estimation of the strength needed to pour gas.

You should be able to handle this. It is not very heavy and has a lift handle to move it. On the ground it has wheels to roll it around. It comes in a plastic case that also has a hanldle.

Remove the basket and heating element then pick it up and pour it thru cheesecloth into a container. Usually the same bottle it came out of with funnel. No big deal. Not that heavy.

It is very sturdy and I have picked up items weighing several pounds, long as you can get a grip on it, it will pick it up, I have two now. Never failed me

You can keep flour (5lb) in its original bag in the 4 quart. I tried it today.

I agree w/other responders here --- if I can hold/use w/o difficulty, it's not too heavy. ---

I have my craft supplies in the same containers. I wouldn't put real heavy items in them, but it works fine for me - has never been a problem at all. Good luck!

Over-filling will lift the top cover; but, I haven't had any problem during normal use. Still, to be on the safe side, I always place a finger on the lid while pouring.

There is no reason to lug it around to weigh it. If you want heavy, you got it. If you don't, it aint Ur pan.

I suppose you can as the bottom is flat. However, it is pretty lightweight so you might want to lean it up against something until you start filling it (to help weigh it down).
