Yes, big, yes heavy, but they are all big and heavy, washing vacuum cleaners. You need to understand why you are buying. In care, they are more difficult than usual, it is logical. But after the old one, this one is easier to wash - the bucket was removed, rinsed and that's it, no designer, this is a huge plus! In my opinion, a very high quality device! The main thing is to read the instructions, and it will last a long time, eradicate the tradition of first breaking, and then reading the manual))
