Is it light weight? I have arthritis in my hands.

I too have arthritis so when I lift a pot I use both hands. The pots are solid and well constructed but I would not consider them lightweight, they are certainly not as heavy as cast iron but still I can not lift with one hand. This is hard to answer because I don't know how much your arthritis constrains your movement. They are heavier then Revere Ware, I think.

No - not light weight and not heavy - the weight helps with the pressure in the needed area

You do need to press and hold. It is sensitive and does not need much pressure. I understand regarding arthritis.

No, it's not heavy at all. Pretty lightweight considering the bejewelled back.

I don't know the weight but I have lupus and that is why I bought this item. It is smaller than the one I would normally see and I don't have a problem using it. Doesn't put a strain on my joints and easy-to-use.

It's actually rather lightweight. I love mine and use it at least every day because it's so handy.

Not very heavy. I am old and weak and I can use it. (sort of a joke, but I am old)

To me it feels like it is easy to push down but I am young and don't have arthritis or any other hand problems. Mine does take a little bit of force to push it down; I personally think its the perfect amount.

It doesn't require a lot of pressure, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for anyone with arthritis...even my hand will get sore/tired after awhile. I also agree with Chris's analysis, but I do like it for quick jobs i.e. cat litter, but I have to use a regular vacuum for the whole house. And the mopping feature sucks.

No, I also have arthritis in my hands. I love this juicer,,,am going to make another 33 jars of lemon curd in Feb (we spend the winters in Arizona) and will have to juice over 100 lemons. This is a great product,,I love it!!!!!

Yes it is light weight and easy to move . I bought it for my son and he loves it.

I don't know the exact weight; I'd estimate about 8 oz. I guess it would depend how severe the arthritis is as to whether it would be suitable. If not too severe, I do not think they would have any problem with its weight.

The handle is thin but you push down on it rather than have to squeeze it. Also, you could use an oven mitt to cushion it if you want. I had no issues with the handle but I don't have arthritis in my hands.

I too have arthritis, but not so much in the hands...as another comment says, it depends on how much is in the pot!

I haven't weighed it but it's not heavy at all. Lots of times I just carry it and it feels very light.

It is relatively light weight. I compared it to others, and it was the lightest, I have no problem with it, I was looking for an iron that was not too heavy and found that many were.
