I have same starting.
Two herniated discs in my lower back and arthritis in my lower back make using the heavier models not so easy anymore…. I love the automatic control models but the weight…not so much. I do have a Lux Legacy but not a fan of the plastic wand system…but perhaps changing to a Lux Classic hose will allow me to use the Silverado’s attachments with the Legacy. I have options for now.
I’m using an AF for when I do remodeling, cleaning the garage, or property cleanup on houses that aren’t mine…it’s not too terribly heavy and has the automatic control so I don’t overstrain the motor. It doesn’t have the cordwinder keeping it lighter, but I haven’t weighed the main unit.
I did paint it a few times and with several coats so I’m sure the paint has added some weight
