How heavy is the CARL 15inch trimmer--I like to travel to scrap booking retreats.

I was not happy with it because the cutting guides are not level which creates crooked cuts. That's unacceptable if you're making greeting cards.

It's light for its size, but it's big. If you have a bag that can fit it, it won't be difficult to carry.

It is not light weight, heavy and too bulky. You cannot measure smaller amounts of paper to the right of the trimmer. I found it was a waste of money across the board as a desk top trimmer.

It isn't very heavy at all I would say around 15 pounds with the battery in it. I used a gas power prior to this one and the difference is amazing. It works great.

I am busy lifting logs for wood stove, very active female 60 something and couldn't pick up the Poulan chain saw. It was heavier than I imagined. Exact pounds? No clue--just to heavy to pick up let alone use! The saw I ordered was far heavier than 1 pound 10 ounces--I could have handled that!

Always used a cheap weedeater trimmer. Power on 4 cycle is great it's just heavy as hell. Gives a old man back ache.

About 6 lbs....truly the best hedge trimmer I've ever owned. Battery keeps a great charge also.

This is followup on a previous answer. This line is meant to be used on a walk-behind string trimmer, not a hand-held trimmer. Most of the hand-held trimmers use much lighter line. The 0.155" line would most likely be too heavy for a hand-held trimmer.

Approximately 10 pounds. Move the handle foreword about 6-8 inches from recommended set point. This balances the machine and it will handle very much like a conventional chain saw. Otherwise you will quickly become tired.

It's not heavy. If you're worried about 4lbs, you probably should not be cutting trees down. A limb weighs quite a bit more

Probably about 6 or 7 pounds. It is well-balanced with the battery in the handle at the top and the string trimmer motor in the base.

I am a 71 yr old 124 lb man and not very strong. This trimmer does not seem heavy to me and it makes trimming bushes and ornamental grass very quick and easy. I am very satisfied with it. Hope this helps.

It is 14.3 lbs. Having used it extensively, including a few cuts at and above head level I would recommend a different saw if you need to cut extensively above head level as I find this one a bit unwieldy at those levels (and also somewhat dangerous because you really need 2 hands to control it so you may have trouble balancing)

This would be probably a good option for you, though dragging the cord around is a bit of a nuisance. It would be lighter than a rechargeable one, and not having to bump it to extend the line is a plus. I will say that every trimmer I've used requires you to manually unwind the spool when it gets low, which is always aggravating.

It's not heavy at all. I don't know how much it weighs but perhaps you can call Amazon and perhaps they will have your answer. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to get a hold of me through Amazon.But personally I hate the machine as I would much rather walk then use this device. Catherine

I don't know how much it weighs but I have severe spinal injuries in my neck and upper rib cage and I've been able to trim the top and sides of a 7 foot high, 80 foot long, hedge. I didn't have any problem holding it up high enough to trim the top of that hedge and it has not aggravated my spinal injuries. It's a great, well balanced, machine.

The trimmer head is a little heavier but I don't have a bit of trouble w/ it. The string is automatic and the guard keeps the head away from stones, wood or cement. I love it.

It is not very heavy, but it is bulky to transport because of the long guide arm. Does not come with a case. If you had to move it you could uninstall the guide arm. Excellent piece of equipment for cutting mats. I am very pleased with it.

It's pretty light but I don't know if 1/2 a pound is necessarily correct. It could be and I'm just strong. LOL. It's powerful for such a small hairdryer (works like my bigger one) and I had no problems with it while I traveled in S. Korea (other than I had to use an adaptor for the plug-in & I turned the voltage switch accordingly -not that those are even problems). It's a great little hairdryer.
