How portable is this unit? I don't see any carrying bars. I'm going to need to carry it up and down stairs.

It has a handle built into the top of the case and it's not too bad to carry. My unit will not come up to pressure now.

There is a lip at the very top which can be used to carry it. It is on the backside, which this picture does not show.

It's not that big or heavy so you shouldn't have a problem carrying it. If you want you could always buy a Duffel bag but it doesn't come with a carry bag. I do recommend buying a bigger hose though because the one that comes with it isn't very long.

There is a carrying type handle on the top of the unit which makes carrying very easy.

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.

have not put it on a scale, but it is reasonably light weight. I would think it more awkward than heavy to go up and down stairs.

I think you would be better off with one of those metal ones that has bigger wheels. This particular one has small wheels and probably would not handle the stairs that well.

If you plan to load it with books and other weighty things, you should not have a problem. I have mine on hardwood floors, but loaded with electronics and books and of course the decorative item or 2. Mine are stable. I do not have small children around climbing though.

It will be a task to move this alone, but I feel that it can be moved up 2 stairs and slid into a desired location. Make sure you take note of the weight of the rider, it is not a light piece of equipment.

Hi. It can be a bit fragile on the stairs. But, that is exactly what we did. And since then have moved across the country with it in tact. Should survive a move up to a bedroom. :-)

I put mine in the attic. It is sitting on the floor, still in the box it came in. I have an ordinary pulldown stairway and got it up through that with no problem. Gets a PBS station 40 miles away through a bunch of trees, original version if that makes a difference.

If you click on view more images one of the notes specifically states: " In case anyone is wondering, it is portable. You can unbolt it from the stand. There are 4 legs under the "U" that holds the tables." HTH~

It is lighter than my eureka but still a full size upright. I had no trouble getting it up& down stairs but she needs to have a strong arm on the side she's carrying. Hope this helps!

4th floor walk up should be do-able. You'll need a second person to help carry, but it's not as heavy as you'd think. But it is very sturdy.

No it is not too heavy to carry up/down stairs. I take mine outside when the weather is favorable which makes me also carry it up/down one flight of stairs. I love mine. Saves money on electric bills. Hardly use the dryer

Not very easy to go down stairs. The unit is heavy and the wheels would probably crack if you let it drop down each step. With two people you could carry it down but still awkward. Best way to move it is lift upnon the handle and roll it around behind you.

It depends on your stairs. In our case, we ran the long 8' ramp off the side of the porch - leaving the stairs for day to day traffic. With our short ramp (different set of stairs), we leave it set up most of the time and just walk on it. It is reasonably lightweight and can be folded and placed somewhere if that is more convenient. Good luck!

It is not light. I would not want to take it on a hike or anything but I store it inside and up a flight of stairs and do not find it difficult to transport that far. It is sturdy and that comes from the weight of the metal. I would not want it to be lighter. It folds down to a nice size and comes with a bag it fits in. It remains as long as the bottom support. That does not have a joint in it. The two bottom supports come together and the two side supports fold down on to it. I really like this product as I live in an apartment and do not have a lot of room on my patio. I feel secure on it. I would take it camping in a heart beat but again I would not want to walk far with it. It is not light.

i was able to carry both in separately by myself. they are packed well. you could probably handle them yourself but if you have stairs you might ask one other person to help. they were also relatively easy to put together and i am no handy person. hope you enjoy them as much as i do!

Yes. It is portable. However, its a pain to set up and take down. I threw my back out trying to put it up. The long skinny pole that is flexible breaks easily and you need this so it will stay up. Good Luck.
