I am elderly, and don't have much strength in my hands am I going to be able to use this?

To some extent, yes. The squeezing is easiest in the beginning. But if you have somewhat less strength, you won't be able to get all the juice out. I have the squeeze hard to use the whole lemon. But if you don't mind not using the whole fruit, then it may be useful to you. I hope this helps.

if you cut the fruit into 1/4, it is easier to use but still will have to take some hand strength.
1724047
I don't know....maybe not. I'm 38 and I have to use two hands to squeeze it closed! It's also quite heavy. I hope this answers your question!

I worry this product isn't the best for you. I have no problem with smaller lemons, but bigger lemons are really hard to juice using this item. Also, it's pretty heavy as far as juice presses go. I might recommend something more like this for you: Chef'n Juicester Citrus Juicer and Reamer (Small)

I'm 81 and I have no trouble using it, however if you arthritis in your hands it would be difficult and it is heavy.

warm up the lemon in the microwave, if you have one, for 20-40 seconds depending on size of lemon. It makes it so much easier to squeeze.

It might be tough. If you do the best you can, you will probably be okay. You just won't get quite as much from the fruit.
1724052
It takes a good, firm squeeze to get as much juice out as possible. If you can find a "powered squeezer," that would be the way for you to go.

I'd say yes. You can adjust the strength according to your needs. Certainly worth a try.

It's a heavy bench--you need two hands to pick it up. I don't know if it will move when a 90 year old person pushes up/off from it.

I am 70 yrs old. I have been ill.. so maybe I am just weak. However, its still pretty heavy.

There are handles in the side of the seat which I would imagine should be rather helpful for those with difficulty moving about. Getting in and out of the unit is simple. I don't know your exact limitations but if you're able to manipulate your bad leg with your hands, I think you should be just fine.

I would say yes because of the way you grip the handle. Pulling the blade along is so much easier. This design is really unique. If anything is going to work for you, this is it. We are age 72 and 75 and will not be without this tool.

I can't tell you the pounds, but I am a 79-year old woman and I can lift it without too much effort. It's not feather-weight but not god-awful, either.
1566814
Well, I don't know how heavy it exactly is. But I have to use both hands to be able to lift it up.

...as a senior, i can pick it up easily with one hand, and i am not strong...

I cant answer that bc my dad 78yrs wont use it said it was a great idea, but that it was way too flimsy and it didnt trust it not to break and him fall so he wont use it, guess i am saying i am not recommending this

Not hard! I am 5'6 and 130 pounds with not much arm muscle. I use the hand pump and It takes less than five minutes. I don't think you will have issues

It's possible but not because of the design of the machine. If the user is unsteady on their feet, they might want to put a chair next to the machine and hold on to it. I'm 68 and have no trouble at all with feeling as if I'm going to fall. It's a great machine.

That's funny, Anna... I wouldn't know, but that's a good way to put it! My hands and wrists are very weak now so I would probably have to do it the same way you are. Ask someone with big strong hands to try it and let us know.

If you can bend far enough to reach it will work. I find it simple to use and I have very limited mobility.

It is very lightweight you should be able to lift it with one hand. It only weighs 3 1/2 pounds. I am sure this will work for you.

I'm no expert about this, but I purchased it for my daughter who is nearly nine and she isn't really strong enough for it. I would say, yes, an adult could use it.

Very little. My 85 year old mother does not have a lot of strength and has no real problem.
