What is the weight--find my old aluminum kettles too heavy as I age.

Joan - I as 83 the pants and lids are well balanced and really quite easy to lift and handle.

I don't know the weight. But the new pan was slightly lighter than the old. That is where I think quality is poor.

I don't know the weight, but it is not light. It is as heavy as my other 3Q pot.

220 should be just fine. The tabbed design depicted in the image is very sturdy. I would guess up to 300+ lbs but without knowing actual specifications I can only stand behind up to 220 lbs, and that is still just a guess. I'm 170 and just tested it holding a 35 lb kettle bell. It is solid.

It feels pretty light because the handles are made of aluminum- I would say about five lbs. But there is no customer service for it, so if you break something on it you're going to have to buy another one. I would suggest you buy a different brand, like Fiskars.

I need to know the weight. I am 83 years old and I tend to trip over the blower with cords.

I have no way to measure the weight, but can tell that it is VERY HEAVY. It needs a lot of strength even to open up the lid. I never ever tried to move it, since I've got it quite few years ago. I'll not be surprised if it is 56 lbs.

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

Maybe five pounds. It's steel, not aluminum. I had bought it hoping it was like the old aluminum ones I remember from the 60s. Nope. Nice though.

It weighs 7 oz. Which is Pretty darn heavy for a mug. My cooking pots weigh less than this thing and hold more liquid.If you need a mug, and care about weight, i suggest looking at the GSI infinity mug(3.5oz) or the nesting mug/bowl (2 oz + 1 oz)

I don't have a scale to weigh the kettle part, but it's quite light, comparable if not actually lighter than any plastic ones I've used. It's also very easy to control the stream from the spout. My only concern with arthritis might be that the lid fits quite snugly - a pressure fit as the lid comes completely off (not hinged as in some plastic models). You really have to remove it after each use to let it air dry and to refill as the spout is so thin.

I have had 14+ gallons of water in one of my kettles, which is about 144lbs (including a 15.5 gal sanke keg/kettle). Had no issues with it. Seems like a strong frame when properly put together. I also have a 15 gallon SS kettle on it at the same time. No worries!

This is a little difficult to answer because neither I nor anyone in my househd has arthritis. Having said that one will need to apply some pressure using the index finger and maybe the middle finger together to press and lift the lid.. One other consideration maybe that kettle is a little heavy at about 2.5lb when empty for someone with arthritis. Hope this helps.

Empty, the kettle weighs 2 pounds. I usually fill it to between 0.7 and 1 liter. I use both hands when it's got water in it. I rarely need a full kettle of water, but it's good that it's available.

Heavier than my old Revere ware but a delight to cook with. Comparable to Calphalon weight. Hope this helps.

I purchased the 6 quart EC6D43, the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. My scale weighed it, with the lid, at about 13 lbs. This is the reason that I did not order the large size of 7.8 qt. With that larger weight, full of beef stew, I'd need a winch to get it out of the oven. Love this pot!

I have not weighed it but my 100 year old father has been using it without difficulty. Unfortunately I cannot weigh it for you as he is in assisted living, not here with me. It is a good device though, and easy to manage even for this frail, elderly man..

I'm not sure what constitutes "heavy..." It seems the same weight as any other pots and pans I've used; the same as my old T-Fal teflon pots and pans. I can tell you that when I'm filling up the larger saucepan with water, it does become heavy and difficult to hold because of the shape and size of the handle. My old T-Fals had straight and thick handles, these are thinner and curved. I also find I have to use a potholder (for cushioning) and two hands when I want to use a strainer to dump water out of my pasta. This could also be because the saucepan holds more water than my old ones used to. If you're asking if they're flimsy... no, they are nice and sturdy. Hope that was some help, at least.
