Do the parts that you carry up stairs to vacuum rugs really total 28 pounds? Seems heavy.

I am petite (under 110 lbs) and i carry this vac with ease. In my opinion it seems more like 10-15 lbs, however i do carry the canister in one hand and the wand and head in the other just cause its less awkward. Hope this helps:)

I love this vacuum. I didn't know what the weight specs were, but I do not notice that it weighs so much. As I vacuum, the cannister moves incredibly smoothly and easily around the floors and obstacles. It has great suction. It is handy to have the attachments on board. The hand held "motorized" brush is not worth the money. It is solely run by the force of the vacuum air flow.

I haven't exactly weighed them. The vacuum stands upright so you leave it on a step, vacuum a few and then carry it up. I also have two landings, so I use that. It's a great vacuum.

Yes, it is rather heavy - the heaviest vacuum I have ever owned - but it is quite powerful and does a good job. I bought it because we have three pets that shed a lot of hair (mostly the dog). I had a Shark that was much lighter but was destroyed in one year by the dog hair.

The canister feels really light. I am a 48 yo woman and I do not have any troubles lifting the canister up and down the stairs.

Hi Joe, I weighed the orange canister and it was 12 pounds and the hose & vacuum were 11 for a total of 23 pounds.

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

NO. This is the heaviest vac I've ever owned. The very first 2 things I noticed on its first us was 1) had no light (my last 2 had lights). 2) how heavy it was to push/maneuver around. Already going to purchase another vac

Just put my DC33 on the scale, and it is just over 17 lbs. But I also checked the Hoover upright I replaced, and that is just under 17 lbs although it felt much heavier. I think the DC33 is better balanced. I have bursitis in my shoulder and a lower back injury, and I find the Dyson much easier to use.

It's not particularly heavy. A lot of it is heavy duty plastic. Its well made and sturdy but not that heavy. I carry it up stairs easily but it probably isn't as light as some of those cheaper brands.

Not sure about the exact weight, but not heavy to push around. Great vacuum cleaner!

According to the listing here, weight is 24.2 lbs. I've not weighed it myself, but I can say it's much lighter than my old vacuum and it's pretty easy for me (a petite female) to carry up and down stairs. The warranty is 2 years limited, and there's a sticker right on the back of the machine with a phone number to call for any problems.

I haven't had any problem pushing the trolley on our carpet. It's just a standard plush carpet - not real thick.

I don't find it too heavy and I hardly ever have to lift it since it just rolls along behind me. The weight for everything is 20 lbs. but just the canister would be less than that.

Thanks for the question :) If you look in the other questions that have been asked we cover this there but the canister only weights 14 lbs and the hose and head about 4 lbs. So not heavy. Also when vacuuming you are only vacuuming with the light head so its very easy to use. Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin

It's not that heavy, I think the base is like 18-20lbs. I carry up a flight of stair pretty easily.

I haven't weighted it and I'm sure there are spec's somewhere that would tell you but I can say that it's the lightest vacuum I've ever used. The unit glides along the floor and the handle part isn't awkward to use. If I were to carry the unit in my hand, I'd say its about 8 pounds.

Yes, it doesn't take much strength at all to put this up and down. As far as the heavy rugs....haven't tried that yet, but, it does hold lots and lots of laundry with no problem whatsoever. I would contact the manufacturer regarding the rugs and the amount of weight.

We lift and move ours all the time, no problem. But it's kind of an awkward shape to carry up & down a long staircase. Maybe if you did it all the time you'd get used to it - I don't know.

pretty heavy..like over 150 lbs. but I have never weighed nor moved upstairs. After I constructed it I put it on furniture slides and moved it down the hallway.

According to Kenmore, it weighs approximately 20lbs. http://www.kenmore.com/kenmore-intuition-upright-vacuum/p-02031200000P

No, it isn't. It's also a quite a bit heavier then a standard upright vacuum (and could pose difficulty for some when going up and down stairs with it) . With that being said it's easy to move around on the rug and I had zero issues with it.

When shipped it is simply vacuum-packed and put in a box--no extra packaging, so I want to say yes, it probably does weigh close to 50 pounds. But apparently someone actually weighed it and it's 20 lbs. Shipping weight" includes size, I guess...anyway, I also found it easy to move around, open/close, etc.
