I have arthrits, and I have not had any problem using this cleaner. It is a great carpet cleaner :-)

I just got back from a trip which required my mom to push me over brick sidewalks which were often uneven and cracked. I weigh 160 lbs. She pushed the equivalent of one block on straight path. It was okay but doing an incline was more of a problem. Also, it not a traditional wheelchair but it was better than walking with a regular walker.

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

Actually, you put your thumb on front of the bottle (bottle`s cap/lid) and push the button with your index finger or middle finger or both. I don`t know how severe your arthritis is, but I`d say on the scale from 0 to 10, where 0 would be "no effort at all" and 10 - "unable to push whatsoever...", I would give it 3.

I use the bottom part of my palm, next to my wrist, to push the pad that locks it in place, then it just has to be folded up while pushing, I use my fingertips to pull up on it. It is not hard. I have some arthritis in my hands, but not debilitating arthritis. It does not bother my hands at all.

Honestly, that was one of the hardest things. You need to get it mostly set then you can try a hammer, or if you have the strength just push really hard.

As a grandma with a touch of arthritis I do not find it easy. I believe it was made with young parents in mind and added safety so the child have difficulty undoing it

It is very hard. Just have someone else whose hands are stronger pull on the sides.

They are substantial and hold firmly which is beneficial, but they could possibly be hard for an arthritic person to use. I couldn't say for sure though.

It weighs less than my regular walker but is very sturdy. It folds up by pressing down on a spring loaded lever. The lever is fairly large so it is great if you have trouble with arthritis. There are 2 of these levers, one on each side just below the top cross bar. My therapist specifically recommended this one for many good reasons. I love it. Regards, Ron P.

I don't have arthritis in my hands, but in my opinion this vacuum is very easy to maneuver. I would think it would be easier than a standard vacuum for persons with arthritis.

I guess I haven't noticed how hard they are to push. They seem pretty sensitive from what I can tell. And there is a nag reminder if you leave something in there.

its not hard to push, its better on hard wood or concrete floors is easier. My friend is over 300 pounds and I push him around when needed. Get the gel cushion it will help her a lot.

That's a really good question. For me it's really easy. I don't feel like giving too much force to push the dispenser button. But I can't say that for seniors with Parkinson's and arthritis. What you could do is to see if one of the Tevana stores has the same or similar water dispenser so that she could try on it. I would say some other appliance stores might carry this type of dispenser too.
