it really doesn't weigh that much, I am youNger but suffer from severe carpel tunnel in both hands from years of typing and I am able to use it on myself. Also it is a great price and the best deal I found, we purchased one from BJ'S wholesale club about 8 years ago and I was never able to find the same one in the store or any other store, so I took the chance and it was worth it....I love this massager and would buy it AGAIN!

This is not light, weights about 4 pounds. If you are looking for a light massager you can try the one from Panasonic. This one is more appropriate for deep tissue.

I'm guessing it weighs about 2 lbs. It is just as bulky as it looks. More important is that the weight is so unbalanced making the unit unwieldy, but there are ways to compensate either by holding with two hands, one at either end or by using it while sitting and using the chair to prop it against your own back.

its heavy, way too harsh for what you are looking for. I do not recommend this product at all.

I thought it was quite heavy and the handle was very large in diameter and hard to hold. Mine only lasted a few months before I replaced it with another brand U.S. Jaclean Tapping Pro

I can't tell you the pounds, but I am a 79-year old woman and I can lift it without too much effort. It's not feather-weight but not god-awful, either.

I am 70 yrs old. I have been ill.. so maybe I am just weak. However, its still pretty heavy.

I don't remember exactly, but my mom is 70 and is able to use it without any problems. It didn't seem heavy at all. At first when I tried it out it wasn't heavy but seemed bulky and I though it would be too hard fro her to use but she hasn't had a problem and loves it.

I am weigh 168 right now and I tried it when I was about 175. I first did it with a t-shirt on and didn't feel much relief from pain. Then I laid on it bare skin. couldn't do that for very long. Did not like the experience. Tried to send it back but they won't take it back because it is a medical device and it has been used.

I purchased this for my girl friend for circulation issues. She said that it goes up to 14. She weighs 122lbs and has not lost weight but is maintaining her weight. She uses the Whole Body Vibration with walking and Zumba. I must say that her issues of pain in her legs are gone! Hope this is helpful.

I can't answer to this weight or height. My mom is 5'7" & 145 lbs & it works fine. I think the question is can u push the chair with that much weight? A ton can roll on wheels. But u need muscle to push it. U got muscle?

The full description states 300 lbs, but I can't attest to that per session because I bought it as a transport chair for my 85 yr old Mom who only weighs 108 lbs. It's a backsaver for me. Very easy and lightweight and so much better to use to transport vs her wheelchair.

I think the height of the back would work for you. It might not reach all the way to the base of your neck, but it would be pretty darn close. I am over 200lbs and have not had a problem with the massage portion, although, I do not use it for more than 15-20 min at a time. Hope this helps.

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 will go look to see if I can find a limit on the chair - I remember seeing something - but don't remember the amount - HOWEVER - I was 275Lbs when I used it and I used it a lot. It was a LIFE SAVER!!! I had two hip surgeries.

Please verify through Drive medical website, but I believe it was 300lbs or over. My dad was about 260 and it did wonderful for him and so easy to push for myself and my mom.

Hello Christine--I checked the company Sierra Comfort Professional Massage Table and found that the working weight of this table is 500 pounds. I purchased this as a second massage table and was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The padding is comfortable. Realize that a massage table is not a soft, squishy surface. I use a doubled blanket under the bottom sheet. If you prefer a softer surface, try foam roll (flat or egg shell surface) from a fabric store. Also, I use round coasters (hardware store or dollar store) under the table legs. This protects the floor and prevents sliding which can occur on hardwood or linoleum. I hope this helps. I wish you well, Christine. --Linda Friend, LMT, Springfield, IL

At the lowest setting this would be perfect for your Mom. However, the unit itself is heavy. You will need to ether keep in in one place or have someone able to easily lift 30+ plus pounds to move it from one location to another. It is also a bit bulky. It is tricky to lift by the pedals because they rotate.

I'm an old man but I weigh about 200 pounds. I have sat on it but not for long.....it's very uncomfortable. You'll need a thickly padded cushion.
