How much does this dryer weigh? I am looking to purchase a hair dryer for my elderly mother and she cannot lift anything even slightly heavy.

The shipping weight on the Amazon site for 1875 Ion dryer is 1.3 pounds. I'm going to assume about 1 lb, or so, for the dryer. 3 pounds is what a hardcover heavy college book weighs - these other answers are ridiculous.

It does have a little bit of weight to it but its alot lighter then most hair dryers.

My dryer is called 1875 Ion Select. In case it's the same, I would estimate it is at least 2 lbs and is a little heavier than some I've tried. However, it dries quickly and it also has an on off switch, so you don't have to unplug it after each use.

It weighs a little less than 20 lbs. My 94-year-old mother has no problem handling hers.

I agree: it wouldn't show on digital scales so it has to be less than a pound. Very nice dryer.

I would not worry about how much it ways, as I have bought this dryer twice and the nozzles always fall off when the dryer is heated up! All my hair dresser friends have had this problem also. Other than that it is fairly light & a good dryer. The manufacturers need to fix this problem.

This is a quality product that has a solid feel, I do not perceive this dryer as heavy. My wife has moderate arthritis of the hands and has no problem handling and supporting the hair dryer. She frequently does say she really likes the product.

It is heavier than your average hair dryer because it it not made of plastic, but it isn't so heavy as to be unwieldy or hard to use. It is a better quality dryer, such as those used in hair salons.

I haven't weighed it, but feels like 8 oz, can't say enough about it, best dryer I have ever had and doesn't aggravate tennis elbow

I have a babyliss pro hairdryer which weighs 2.3 lbs and it kills my wrist. Im looking for something lighter and this one caught my eye, but I was bummed to see it weighs 2.2 lbs. So its going to be heavy. I round brush blowdry which my be the reason it strains my wrist so much but if you just quick dry your hair it might not be so bad

I'm not sure about the wattage. I would say it's on the small side, it a soft bonnet dryer it isn't that big, the bonnet is a nice size and will accommodate large hair rollers. I would say it weighs under 4lbs. very light. Not noisy, but doesn't get very hot.

The unit is not heavy just a bit awkward due to size. I think probably anywhere from 5 to 8 lbs is the weight empty not heavy at all. I am a woman of 60 and have no problem toting it around.

I haven't weighed it, but my wife says it is about the same weight as any other dryer. Maybe slightly less. It's 100% plastic outer construction, so it isn't heavy.

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.

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!

It is very light and well balanced. It is the best hair dryer I have ever owned. I have my hair done at 2 different hair salons in NYC, and they all use it and love it.

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

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.

I don't know the exact weight but it is light. It's an awesome dryer. I love it. You could probably find the weight on google.
