Can anyone tell me how heavy this item is? I have lost so much strength in arms I'm wondering if it would be too heavy.

According to Amazon, the Shipping Weight is 4.4 pounds. I would hazard a guess at around 4 even. It's not bulky, but not ultra-light either. Definitely a recommended product though!

It weights about 3.5 pounds. About 4 cans of soda. Les then a half gallon of milk.

I too have lost strength in my arms over the years, but I do not have any trouble lifting this item.

Well I think it heavy. I don't move it and when I do I have someone help me with it. I'm in my sixty. It is lighter then the standard one but still heavy for me.

Well ours did break an arm pretty quick, but they sent us a new arm to put on. I have had no problems with it after that. I did have to call a few times and Amazon helped. They said they had gotten a bad batch with the arms. But like I said it's been okay since. I think it's been about 2years now. Debbie

Is there anyone here that has owned this for a while? I am really liking the good reviews and the price BUT I'd like to know if it can last at least a year. I'd also like to know if it's good for your arms. I have read a few people saying there is limited motion. I don't mind that at all but I'd just like to make sure it can at least help to tone the arms up.

It is pretty heavy. I would not chance trying to lift it alone but it is easy with 2. Its diameter makes things really awkward too.

It is probably OK for arm workout. You could C clamp it down if it moves. I don't know hoe heavy it is.

I weighed it, it is 2 lbs 15 oz. But I have little trouble using it due to a shoulder problem. Im 72 but work out so in fairly good shape... its just the shoulder . It was a lot bigger than I expected when it arrived.

I think it would be too heavy for you. It's a little heavy for me and I'm 6 ft and 200 lbs.

Hi John, It have been a while since i installed it, but i think that the weight of arm and moniterneed the thru the desk top stud. The arm is a high quality piece that works as advertized.

It's fairly light, but your arms will get tired holding it for more than a few minutes. Best to use it a bit, do something else, and then come back to it.

I can't weigh it until I get back home to Alaska. My husband got lung cancer last July and he went to heaven on 9/11/13. He used it a lot. I can lift it and shake it and I will be 80 in April. I would say it is between 1 and 2 pounds. I have a small rear in my right rotator cuff so I am going to use it daily to strengthen my upper arm muscles to help that tear. The Dr. agreed that I should do this. It is really fun to shake it.

Good to hear from someone who owns one. Our current one weighs 7 lbs and is getting too heavy for us to handle. Thanks

I think it weighs more than that, although it is not really heavy. It is a very, very good pole that locks and operates nicely. The price was right too. Really glad I bought it. Hope this helps. Good luck with your decision. Ron

I see the people who posted plastic. Have you lifted it? It's far too heavy for plastic I think.

Good morning. I am sorry, the gentleman whom this was purchased for has passed. It was very sturdy, he was a very large man, 300+ I donated it to a nursing home. Good luck.

Yes it is heavy but my arm doesn't get tired holding it. Plus it dries your hair super fast so you don't have to hold it for very long.
