how heavy is this dryer?

I find it quite heavy. I would prefer a smaller dryer with the same features.

It's fairly light. I have carpel tunnel and I have no issues with using it. I have really long and thick hair too.

Unit weight 2.25 pounds per http://www.conairdryer.com/products.php?product_id=40This is a blowing machine - most powerful hand held dryer I have ever had. Weight is not a problem for me.

It is not too heavy for me but I can see where someone with less strength would have a hard time. I love this dryer though.

Sorry I can't help you: this dryer was just too loud and too heavy for my use and I returned it for another brand

I'd say it is a bit heavier than a cheap dryer, but nothing crazy. It doesn't hurt my wrist or anything.

Yes way lighter than a blow dryer. It's small and plastic with the empty chamber to fill with water

This dryer would be what I considered a medium weight dryer. After i dropped my dryer and the blower broke I bought a Chi which is lighter. You cannot get parts to repair this dryer so I decided to get the Chi instead.

I don't have that answer its left at my salon. All I can say is that its a powerful blow dryer get very hot. Light weight And I've used it professionally for 8 years this is my 3rd one.

I'm sorry I do not have a scale & I do not see the weight marked on the dryer. I would say it's more like 2.2lbs. It does not feel too heavy for me & my hair takes forever to dry.

I can't give you an exact weight, but it is pretty light. It is easy to hold and maneuver as the dryer is well balanced. I love mine!

1.3 lbs for the dryer itself. The higher number is probably it's in-package shipping weight (box and all the packaging).

I'm not sure how much this weighs, but it is definitely not heavy. I have no trouble at all holding it. I also use a round brush while drying and have no trouble. It dries very fast also!

I put it on my kitchen scale - it weighs 2 lbs. It's definitely heavier than your average air dryer, but I've gotten used to the weight. The hair dryer is fine, but not exceptional and I probably won't buy it again when it's time to replace. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if you can google the product manual and see the actual weight specs, but it IS a heavy machine. It's got a Ferrari engine in it, LOL, so it's not light. I was concerned about that when I purchased it but have no problems with it. What I did do was purchase a hanging dryer holder that is adjustable and can be used to position the dryer hands-free when I dry my very long hair. My hair is down almost to my waist so holding the brush, controlling the hair on the brush and holding the dryer takes more than 2 hands. I have found a system where I can easily use the dryer. Again, it's not a lightweight, but it dries VERY fast, which helps - and I no longer think the dryer is heavy when I get ready for the day.

Meredith Greenwood's answer is excellent--it's a little heavier than average, but not a lot, with the weight at the back end. But I'm impressed with how long this inexpensive dryer has served me without committing suicide via sucking in my long hair, which wraps around the shaft and burns out a motor on every hair dryer I've owned, except this one.

Yes, I would say it's pretty light considering that it's not a compact dryer. Never makes my arms tired, and I have a lot of hair to dry.

I don't know the weight and decibels but it is very light and very quiet. My arm doesn't get tired when using it and my dog doesn't run away which happened with other hair dryers.
