My husband is a service tech for an apt complex and also sells whatever trashed scrap metal he can find. This is the biggest 'loot' we've ever found! He doesn't know this himself because he just lifts it, he doesn't weigh it. He can only guess, you know? We called the scrap metal place he does business with and they said they pay 6 cents a lb. My Husband has 10 fridges, 10 stoves, and 4 water heaters....Momma wants a brand-new livingroom set-help a sista out! LOL...
thanx in advance!

I'll even accept if you know a website where I can find this info at. I've tried every search word possible, and can find nothing! I even went to Sears and looked @ their fridges and it just has the cubic ft capacities, not the weight.

I've had some good success looking for product weight at BestBuy.com. Under the "Product Specs" section there should be a "Product Details" section that gives product weight.

The thing is....a lot of the composition of these items is a mixtures of different things. Not all the weight of a frige is metal. It has insulation, plastics and so on in with it. I imagine that not even all the metals in these items are the same either. You may find a little copper, a little aluminum and other composites.
Go to a hot water heater website and look at their products page. It MAY tell you what the GROSS (total) weight of a new unit is. This is the closest thing I think anyone will be able to give you, unless they know first-hand somehow.
The price you licted......6¢/lb...is that total weight or is that for something specific? Since it's such a low number it may just be a general number for the entire unit.
Below is a link to a common hot water heater mnfgr. Check it out for weights. Do the same for the friges and what-not.
Hope this helps....good luck!

The simplest way is to walk into an appliance store, find a tank, stove or frig. comparable and ask a competent sales person how much the item weighs. It should be listed on the spec. sheet. If they ask why you want to know...just say you're curious.
Also, if he can get the model #s off the actual items, he can then call the manufacturers like Whirlpool, Amana, etc. and ask for the weight. The following 800 #s are from a book I bought from AT&T in 1996. A lot are still good, but not all. You can try them and ask to speak with someone re: weight of a certain model #.
Amana Refrigeration......800-843-0304
Howell's Heating & A/C...800-358-4822
Whirlpool Corporation.....800-253-1301
Whirlpool Factory Serv...800-442-1111

once you're sure and keen to leave the 50 gal. unit contained in the device and favor to apply it as storage, then installation the recent seventy 5 gal unit in line, after the former 50 gal. As erndog stated, it would want to enable the water being presented into the more effective unit to have already got performed room temp., which could require a lot less skill to warmth to ideal temp. in case you've been to warmth the water in both gadgets you'd be dropping an excellent type of money and skill.
