Be fair girls, maryetta obviously did look it up first.

Eddy seems to have the answers although I'd personally use "pesado" for something like the boxful of closet organizer that I bought yesterday. It weighs almost as much as I do and it's 7 1/2 feet long and a pain.

There is not one word which would suit all instances. It would depend on context, ie,

Bulky - Voluminoso, de mucho bulto.

Awkward - Incómodo.

Las abultadas ropas de abrigo casi le tapaban la cara - He was muffled in thick and cumbersome clothing.

La máquina resultaba lenta y aparatosa o lenta e incómoda de manejar - The machine was slow and cumbersome to use.

Procedimientos administrativos engorrosos - Cumbersome administrative procedures.
