It's pretty heavy but with the wheels and handle, it's not too bad to handle. For me it's a struggle to lift it into the bed of my truck, but usually there is always someone around to help. Unfortunately it's a little too big to fit into the storage compartment in my new 5er. I wish it would because I could use the extra pin weight. You can't really compare it fairly to the Honda 2000. It takes 2 of them to run my AC and they are expensive (times 2). To me, it's a great unit that is powerful enough to do the job and is very affordable. The remote start is great (I don't have to go outside in my P-Js to turn it on or off).
