How much does it weigh and is it easy to move around for an elderly lady?

I'm seventy, and I move it fine, but it is heavier than some others. I'd say it weighs about 7 lbs and is easy to move or carry as long as you do not have to drag it up and down stairs. You can pull it along easily by the Long handle if you do not want to pick it up and carry it. Unless you have a disability in you arms or hands, you should have no problem. I use it to climb into my truck and toss it around with no problem. You might need a guy to push the handle into the step part when you assemble it, if you aren't too strong, but I did it myself.

Hi James, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This foot stool weighs 6 pounds and should be easy to be moved.

Well, I'm an elderly lady of 75, and I'm managing with it. I am somewhat handicapped, and I will be honest the stool is a bit heavy, but considering the safety factor, it's well worth the money. I haven't got a scale large enough to weigh it, so I guess you'll just have to ask the manufacturer.

The shipping weight is just over 10 lbs. I purchased the one that has a handle you grab when stepping on it. That makes it easy to drag if the person doesn't want to carry it.

I THINK it's 2-3 lbs. My 86-year-old mother, who has very limited mobility and no strength in her hands, manages it quite easily and LOVES it. She keeps it in her car for her outings. I hope this helps!

Not sure about the weight, but my wife says that it is very easy to move around. I believe that on their home page they list its weight.

I got it for my elderly aunt who only weighs 95 lbs. It's very sturdy and it's lightweight, easy to transport, works great for us. Not sure how it would be for someone who weighs 200 lbs or more, though.

less than 20 pounds, more like 15-16 -- all the weight is on the bottom so unit will not turn over. I'm over 60 and have no trouble moving it from spot to spot. We love it.

Unsure but quite light - I am a weak 68 year old woman and could lift it and hold easily in one hand for transport. But it not the one I wanted. Get the next size bigger about $15 more but excellent balance and much safer as it is more stable.

I don't know how much it weighs but it is very light. I'm a 67 year old woman and I use it regularly to oil my chain. It is very easy to move around and lift.

I am so sorry, I gave this as a gift so I cannot weigh it for you, but I can tell you that it is not heavy at all. It would be no problem for a young, middle-aged, or even an elderly person to be able to lift it. My mom is 90 years old and does not have any problem with lifting. Hope this helps!!...

I have not weighed it but my 100 year old father has been using it without difficulty. Unfortunately I cannot weigh it for you as he is in assisted living, not here with me. It is a good device though, and easy to manage even for this frail, elderly man..

No to sure on the exact weight however it's really easy to move around. I'm a petite 100 pound female and can easily move it around!

It is not too heavy; as a 66 years old, I can easily lift it up, hope this helps.

Hmm, I haven't every actually stood on a scale with it but I believe it is about 25lbs or less. It is very, very easy to move. I am 5'2" and weigh 115lbs and I have no problem shifting it around at all.

The unit is not heavy just a bit awkward due to size. I think probably anywhere from 5 to 8 lbs is the weight empty not heavy at all. I am a woman of 60 and have no problem toting it around.

I am a 60 yr old woman and I can carry this.. it has no handles though and my personal opinion is that it can be moved without a great deal of effort but I wouldn't consider it portable.

While I can't tell you how many pounds it is, it is so light I bought it for my 75 year old Mother, and she loves it.

I don't have an exact weight. I gave the instride to my 92 year old mother for her birthday. She is able to move it around without a problem.
