I agree, John, the Keatherweight qualifies as cute. (Being a 3/4 size machine gives it an unfair advantage, however; your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find a cute industrial!) Weighed on my cheapo bathroom scale, it looks to be about 18 lbs. (~8 kg.) a good bit more than the Featherweight's 11 lbs. (5 kg.) but it's convenient to carry because it's slim.
