What are the dimensions? Is it easy to use, for people with tired hands or elderly? As easy to use as a regular peeler?

The tool is about 7.5 in. long and the peeler is about 2.75 in. wide. It has a standard peeler on one side and a julienne peeler on the other side. It has a metal handle that is oval and about 1 in. wide. It feels good in the hand. I used it to peel and cut zucchini and carrots, and I found it very easy to use. It is quite sharp so you need to be careful and use a fork and non slippery surface when cutting food, or you could get hurt. My mother had severe arthritis and she would have had a difficult time using this tool, but someone with minor problems would be able to use this in my opinion. It does work easier than a standard peeler. It is very smooth that way. I imagine I will get even faster as I use it and get used to it.

Yes, it is very easy to use...it is almost the same dimension as a regular peeler, although the handle is slightly thinner than the one have. I love the zuchinni and squash this way. I haven't tried carrots yet.

I bought one for my 88 year old mother and she uses it just fine. She has some arthritis in her hands. It is relatively easy to use for a hand can opener

The blade itself is 1/4 inch wide. The blade arm is set on a spring and you hold that to the apple with your left hand while turning the crank with your right hand. I am able to peel the biggest apples with no problem. I don't use the corer/slicer because it doesn't core the apples quite as much as I want them cored - it produces a core of less than 1" - and the slices it produces are too thin for most all of my recipes. But that's true of all corer/slicers, none of them will do exactly what you want done with the apple! So I use this gadget for peeling only and it saves a lot of time, I core and slice by hand.

2.5" wide, from 1/4" down to "paper thin but, don't buy it! It is too small to slice an average tomato. But, if the law is after you, this machine does a nice job of fingerprint removal.

6 inches by 2 inches. Easy to hold in one hand. Easy to set up. Keys are easy to press. Really great keyboard for small spaces or home theaters.

roughly the size of an adult's thumb,though the teeth stick down limiting what you can actually get in there. Their not sharp,but they are definetly harder than the jaws so you can't manipulate them,trying for me only got the paint off. It's 6 inches overall by the way. :)

I didn't use the apple peeler at all, sent it back. I've got a marvelous grater and grate orange and lemon peel like nothing. It's easy as pie. It's made like a small box and the top is a grater and the peel just goes inside...voila, zest!

About the size of a baby wipe, but thinner. Easily works on an adults hands.

Sorry for the delay...we were away. This model is too big for me. They have another one that is not "full sized". If sitting on a flat surface, it is about 1-1/2" tall (not long). It is over 3-1/2" long and I find it pretty easy on the hand.

Not very large. Very light. Size is about right for arthritic hands to work with. About the size of an egg, not front to back but hight and width.

Hello Patricia. Ease of use would be based on your hand size and the strength of your grip. I'm in my twenties and have large hands for a female. I find the garlic press very easy to use and clean. All I can say is try it and if it does not work for you return it.

It is really hard to answer this question not knowing your mother. Just because someone is elderly doesn't mean they don't have strength in their hands. I am over 60 and have no problem using this grip 'n grab. I have some arthritis in my hands but not severe and I use the grabber with ease. I say give it a try and if it doesn't work usually Amazon is usualy good about allowing you to return things (but check that out first). Also, when you get it you might find it handy for yourself. This really is a great tool! I plan on getting another one or two to place in the garage and around the house.

Very easy. I am 63 years old, male, and have no problems. I have smaller hands as well.

7.9 x 5.5 x 1.8 inches - it is a little shorter in length but I feel that with the shaping for your fingers that it fits nicely in the hand. It works well & if you power it down, the battery life is good.

The handle is 5-6" long. We don't find a need to use both hands. The curved knife comes Very sharp and I occasionally touch up the edge with a sharpener. We eat more salad because od the effectiveness of this knife.
