It's heavy, but it kicks butt ! I just wish that the second handle was a bit higher on the machine. One must bend way down to reach the secondary handle, unless you can find a 2' long bit. Instructions are nonhelpful....no info. specific about THIS machine. Don't forget to put oil in it before using , after you figure out where to put it in.No oil comes with it so some purchasers may not even know that it needs it unless they read the Q's and A's ,etc.under the description of the machine.
