How heavy is this vacuum, in actual pounds. Also how quiet (or noisy is it)? Thanks for your help!

It weighs about 12 pounds. Your next door neighbors will hear it running!Our Nano's motor burnt out after a year and we replaced it with a Shark Navigator. It's about the same weight but much more quiet, although it is slightly more expensive.

Our ears actually hurt when we use it. I would not be surprised if we've suffered some hearing loss. We just replaced it with a Dirt Devil that seems much quieter and at least as powerful, plus it's a few dollars less.

It is fairly light - not more than 7 or 8 pounds. As for noise, it is about a third less noisy than a standard upright. However, I would NOT recommend that you buy this vacuum. The brush roll started leaving streaks in my carpets after 5-6 months, and at around 9 months it began overheating after 10-15 minutes and shut itself off completely. I was very disappointed and threw it out. I replaced it with a Eureka product and have had much better luck.

This vacuum is around 80 db. With the roller not moving 75db. If you want a great vacuum that is around 65 db it gonna cost with some reduction. Electrolux ultra silencer is a good low level noise at about 63. It's a cannister. For an upright, check out the Hoover wind tunnel S3670. It was quiet but I didn't feel the umph! I wish I could tell you more but I am limited to my shopping experiences and research I did. Wish I could test them all. Hope that helps! Dennis

about 8 pounds - but you never have to pick it up, unless you are carrying it up stairs. The hand-held dust vac pops out to empty. Its basically a hand-held dust-vac, fitted into a stand-up rug sweeper. We use it alot.

None of these answers seemed very clear to me. The noise level is quite impressive. It is very decently quiet on the lowest setting and yet you still get very strong suction out it. On the highest setting, it is about as loud as most any vacuum. (which is still not bad). If I had a decibel reader, I would give you a more detailed and accurate answer.

Not sure about the exact weight, but not heavy to push around. Great vacuum cleaner!

Mine is about 23 lbs with all the attachments on (and whatever has been vacuumed up already). So it does feel kind of heavy to pick up the whole thing, but despite its misgivings, with the nice long handle and hose, you don't have to move the canister too often. Also, the extention cord is super long, so that's a plus in moving it around.

I don't know the exact weight of the cleaner, but it is heavy. However, I think its weight helps it do an excellent cleaning job. I bought mine as an upstairs vacuum to deal with carpeting, and it works well. I only notice the weight when taking it downstairs to give the rugs a thorough clean. Bear in mind that I am 5'2" and can't lift much.

I don't think it's as loud as a normal full-size vacuum cleaner, but it's not quiet either. I'd say it's noise level is pretty standard for dust busters.

Mine is pretty quiet compared to others I've had (Hoover, Dyson & Oreck). I've had all types of vacs and this is by far my favorite.

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)

It's heavier than my vacuum, but not nearly as heavy as the industrial ones that you can rent. You can basically use it all day and cart it from room to room without throwing your back out or being sore the next day. I'd say it's about twenty pounds. Hope this helps.

Hi, The one I had before this was a 12 amp "Dirt Devil." This one is slightly quieter but not by much. I guess I would say the noise level is average, but I haven't had much experience with a wide range of vacuums. My cat doesn't like it though and leaves the room while I use it.

On carpet it is a little noisier than my last vaccuum ( which wasn't a Hoover) but it isn't terrible. The vaccuum works SO incredibly well that I'm ok with the noise, but again it isn't substantially noisier than any other vaccuum I have used. The one situation where this vaccuum is very noisy, is when you vaccuum bare floor with the rollers. If you click off the rollers (with a simple foot press) and use suction only on the bare floor , that makes the noise drop significantly. I use suction only on my bare floors and it picks up everything. Hope this helps.

If you find a vacuum that's not loud, please let me know. I've never been able to find one.

I love this vacuum--it really lifts up/off the pet hair. It is also the quietest vac. I have used. We have new carpet upstairs & it does a wonderful job. I'm not sure how dense your carpet is but our new carpet is very plush but does not have long fibers. I recently had surgery & can use this vac. while in the recovery mode. Not hard to push. My only negative is the hose for the tools is too short. I'm only 5'1" & can't reach the tops of doors or other higher places w/ the appropriate attachments. I called the co. & they said I could add additional wands but it would reduce the suction...so I haven't done that. I love this vacuum--it really lifts up/off the pet hair.

It is VERY quiet, more so than any vacuum I have ever had. Very happy with it.

This is the heaviest vacuum I've ever purchased. I ended up giving it away. It's heavier than my Dyson Animal vacuum.
