Yes it is light weight compared to the dyson upright, I can pretty easily hold it by the handle in one hand and vacuum the stairs with the floor attachment.

I believe it's less than 18 lbs. Very lightweight compared to a normal vacuum. I believe that info was in the details.

The vacuum weighs 4lbs. give or take a few ounces, that includes a carry bag and detachable hose etc. it is very portable and convenient with 12 volt car plug but not powerful enough compared to the carand also very portable but uses house current ,I bought both of these for my daughters cars and have returned the b&d and ordering anothere carand auto spa

I looked up the specs on this hand vac (Shark Pet Perfect II) and it weighs 4.354 lbs. It's a great little vacuum for "pull," however, it has a persistent loud shrill sound when it's "working." Maybe I'll wear earplugs!

I think it's a good cleaner for all types of floors. Although I would not consider the vacuum to be light weight at all. The vacuum also does not dispense enough of the cleaner when trying to clean the floor.

Not sure of the actual weight but it is not light weight by any means. It is the heaviest vacuum I have ever owned, it is cumbersome to carry up and down stairs.

I weighed my vacuum with power plus brush and it totaled 24.5 pounds including onboard tools in canister. Hope this helps.

I don't know in accurate numbers but it is actually quite light. It's very easy to move around and use...has all the tools for good cleaning and I love it!

I just weighted the machine...20 pounds. I am not a large woman and I don't have any trouble with it. It does have a great handle to carry it up stairs. It is the BEST vacuum.

If you are looking for a lightweight vacuum, then you don't want this one. It is very heavy. I used the Oreck which was very lightweight before buying this one, and the difference great. Had I known how heavy it actually was, O would have brought another Oreck.

It has the same 18 VDC battery used in B&D; tools so it's not light, but because of the hefty battery it vacuums much longer than other hand vac I've owned. Moreover, you can buy additional batteries. I have two and they are the best hand vacuums I've owned.

It is very lightweight...not sure if a regular broom cut down would be as light or not.

Actually, it's 27 lbs according to the product specs. If you mean light weight as in an easier to carry/lighter version than a regular carpet cleaner, then the answer is no. This is a full size and weight cleaner.

I have no problems with it and my 10 year old seems able to push it just fine. There are lighter weight vacuums, but the reviews I read on them were not very favorable.

I think it is light in my hand. I don't know the weight specifically, but of course you can check the specifications for that. I have an old corded Makita 3/8" drill and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this cordless version feels much lighter. I expected it to weigh more due to the battery, but it does not.

It weighs about 16 pounds. The suction is excellent, even through the attachments. I use it on my hardwood floors and the carpeting and it functions like a much more expensive Dyson.

18.6 pounds. I would call it standard vac weight. Not light enough to just toss around but easily movable. If you're doing the stairs the hose stretches a good amount but if you have to lift the vac to get further you'll grunt a few times but its doable.
