If the motor or the cyclone is heavier, sure weight might be an issue....but it's not heavier so it's not an issue. Incidentally, mine lifts up the trash can when I turn it on, even if it's full of saw dust....and it's HEAVY when it's full of saw dust. That mount can take quite a bit of weight, so I doubt a few extra lbs here and there would make a difference on the mount. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know why they rejected the motor just because of weight.
