It's made of glass & must be heavy. Description says 3 lbs.When full is it 5 lbs? Is it convenient? Does one need to use both hands to lift it up?

1 ga of water is 16 cups and weighs approximately 9 lbs, this is 25% of a gallon so 5.2 lbs is about correct. the question about strength to hold is a function of your hand and forearm strength and is based upon your personal physical attributes. it is a well made and very sturdy pyrex quart measuring cup.

It can be heavy when full but I have not yet had to use two hands. I most like being able to mix right in it for things like pancakes or small box of cupcakes. I have some mobility issues and would say it is very convenient.

It weighs 1# 12 oz on my kitchen scale. I double checked with the postal scale and got 1# 13.2 oz (the three pound description is probably shipping weight) With four cups of water in it, it weighs 3# 12 oz. on the kitchen scale. Of course 4 cups of rocks would weigh more!! I can easily lift it when full with one hand. As for convenience --- see my review. I love my old one. This one from Amazon is difficult to pour without some spillage. It could be that mine has a defect in the pouring lip. All in all, it is very handy to have.

Pyrex is heavy, that's what I love about it, I hold in One hand and guide with other, not a size I use a lot though.

I KNOW it doesn't weight 2 lbs....more like 4 to 5 ounces.......I have had mine for a while and really like it.

You can lift it with one arm. It is easier with two because of its shape. I would guess 30lbs?

It's not all that heavy.. With two people you can easily pick it up and move.. Depending on strength of one person you could drag along floor

My guess would be around 5 lbs. It is not that heavy, plus it has convenient hand grip placement.

The glass top sits on the base, but it's very heavy. Trust me, you won't knock it off!

I just stuck it on my kitchen scale. I came up with 67 1/2 oz which would make it about 4 lbs. It doesn't feel like 4 lbs but then, I lift pots all the time. It is pretty substantial. Not flimsy.

I have not tried it so I don't know the answer. When you lift it up you are twisting a plastic lock in center to hold up top. I think it might hold 10 lbs. the top it self is sturdy enough for 20 lbs. but I don't know the strength of the plastic twist lock mechanism, when locked.

I dont know the exact weight in pounds or ounces but it is very light. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and it does not hurt to pick it up empty. I hope that will help you.

Hi Anaisabel. I dont have it with me here in Europe where I am living, I left it in the USA after the wedding was over. So, I cant tell you exactly how much it weighs but it is not heavy for a metal and glass stand, it can be carried on one hand easily. I hope this helps.regards,Margaret

its heavy, the glass is normal thickness of a regular mason jar ( the 6" ones). Hope that helps

I don't know the weight but two people can easily lift. The glass looks heavy, is beautifully beveled. Have had mine for at least six months and am very happy with it. It would be difficult to break it, I think.

It would take 2 people to carry it, however 1 person can easily drag it without too much strain. It is tall & sturdy.

You are right. It is definitely not weighing 4 lbs when it is not loaded with cups. The plastic materials feel pretty tough though.

It is made of glass but the base has a plastic black frame. It's a beautiful modern looking tank but when filled with water feels about 20 pounds or more. When lifting it, the plastic base can feel a bit flimsy. When empty, you wouldn't be able to tell.

It is fairly heavy. I would estimate its weight at 15 to 20 pounds. Rather than take out the juicer whenever we want to use it, we simply keep it on our countertop, much as we do our coffee maker. Since we have ample counter space, it is no problem for us.

Because it is mostly plastic the weight is not outrageous. One person can easily lift it and move it around. It is very portable. This is a quality product (well made).
