How heavy is it when filled with water to drag to the edge of the garbage and lift up to drain? I'm a female and would be doing it alone.

I don't think it would be easy for anyone to do that. It's big. I bought a shop-vac to suck everything up -- it's nice and easy.

It's too long to be lifted by man or woman, and dragging it might be a problem because of the length, too. But you can just use a broom to push collected water or slush out to the driveway, if you place the back edge close enough to the garage door.

I haven't tried to lift and drain. I have pulled it out and rolled off the water. It's pretty big and water did spill out a bit but it definitely beats cleaning up the mess in our garage. It's also great for catching leaves and debris.

It not that's it's heavy but more flimsy so you couldn't just pick the entire thing up. What I do is use a shop vac and suck the water off it and then drain the shop vac. Much easier this way

The mat is quite light and easy to move! Only because of its size, it can be a bit cumbersome. It is quite easy to sweep it off with a push broom.

The drain plug is on the side of the tub. So... you will have to pour the extra water out. It's best if you have help lifting it but you can lift it yourself. Best guess, it probably weighs about 40-50lbs.

We have been pulling by hand,- we go from camp site to dump station............ so guess it would depend on how far that would be for you.. Safe isn't an issue. More, how much energy do you have. Full it is heavy. The additional handle that you can buy is definitly worth it as it enables one to stand straight rather than stoop. It is a good product. They say one can pull behind car/truck as well. We have never had that great of a distance where we felt it necessary. We do like it. And would buy again.

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.

I've done it you have to use a garden hose and be patient it takes a while and i would let water run for a while so it can push waste to sewer main the rest is natural every time you flush toilets or shower in house it'll keep it clear .

Not much. If not fastened down it will drag torwards hose. Good thing about it being lift weight is it is easier to carry back and forth to work bench for weekly fixings.

I think you'd be fine with this if you can drain it by gravity with a hose. Otherwise, I'd say you'll be emptying it a lot for your space.

Its a bit heavy but manageable. Have not had a problem moving it by myself.

We actually just did this a couple of days ago. Took 2 people and was very heavy. Would be easier with 3. Husband took it apart first at top. Then we lifted the half that was in pool. Thank goodness he is very strong. Between water and sand weight it is super heavy.

When completely full, it weighs approximately 30-35lbs. It can be heavy and awkward so if my husband isn't available to fill/carry it, I only fill it part way.

It's very easy and lifts right out. I use a plastic grocery bag as a liner and take it out every day. I have a bigger pail that I use for recycling. This door mounted pail is small, about the size volume of a plastic grocery bag. However I find it to be perfect for wet garbage, and things that won't recycle. I take it out to a dumpster in my condo complex after dinner mostly every day and am pleased not to have the garbage in the kitchen over night.

I agree with Wiener....it's a piece of crap. I sent it back because I had water all over the counter top. It's junk and not like the old Rubbermaid drainer and board that I used to have!

Not easy when completely full of water. My son is 6-1 15 yr old and be and I don't have too much trouble moving it. A 90 degree turn wouldn't be bad but moving it a long way would require drainage.

I use it for a Granny Flat and have had no problems. Shower and toilet go into tank. I would not put anything else like food waste from garbage disposal since this is a pump only not a grinder. I will hook it up to kitchen sink but run no disposal when I get funds to finish.

It's a lot heavier than the regular trash cans. Not as heavy as the garbage companies issued garbage cans though. We are very pleased with the purchase.

I don't think you can get it apart and that may be the reason it is so heavy. If it were mine, I'd turn it over and drill a small (1/8") hole in the bottom of each leg then turn it over and let it drain.

Hi David, not sure how or where you're planning to lift this to. I drag it from my bdrm to the living room. And I am 5' 3" female. I think it weights about 50 lbs. I wouldn't able to carry it down through the stairs by myself. Hope this info gives you some idea.
