How to read a weight range

What ranges, typical values and approximation symbols actually mean.

Updated 2026-11-05

Weight is often presented as a single number, but most real objects vary. A washing machine may weigh 60 kg with a small drum and 100 kg with a larger one.

We store a range (minimum and maximum) plus a typical value. The typical value is used for sorting and comparison; it is not a guarantee for every model.

Symbols matter: ≈ means approximate, ≤ means at most, ≥ means at least, and an en dash shows a range. Use the kg/lb toggle to see both unit systems.
