Does the Miele Twist impact arthritic hands?

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 don't have arthritis, so it's difficult to answer this question. I can tell you the vacuum is easy to hold and maneuver. It is rather heavy to carry up and downstairs, and it's a pain to have to unwind the whole cord to use the hose, but this is the best vacuum I've ever owned.

Honestly, I dont know. The vacuum isnt terribly heavy to operate unless you're planning to use it on stairs. The twist function might be a problem, but it may help as well because it seems like your shoulder and wrist are more involved. I'm sirry I couldnt be more help, but I cam tell you this us a good vacuum!

I am not certain how to answer this. This is the most maneuverable vacuum I have ever used. My sense is the machine is responsive to user control and does not control the user. It's the vacuum head that is twisting and turning. The control is turning the handle from the vertical position. My sense is that this is more wrist action than joints in the hand. I suggest you test the vacuum in a store before buying if this remains a concern.

The mini cycle has a small, small turn radius. I was frustrated with the "range of motion". It's difficult to work up a sweat. I'm young relatively fit and it didn't work out for me. Now, my mom is a senior citizen with health problems. She LOVES it. It words great for her. The small range of motion is great for her joints, and she gets a small amount of beneficial exercise she wouldn't ordinarily get.

I suppose you could but it would affect your grip depending which finger it is on because you are not able to completely bend your finger.

The lock feature keep the opener closed with little hand pressure once the can is pierced.....So, that removes the necessity of maintaining a strong grip on the 2 handles when opening a can.Yes, much easier on arthritic hands.

Not at all, it works great. You can do 4 fingers at a time and then both thumbs, still very quick and effective.

Yes. It allows free movement of the fingers. The thumb, (except for the last knuckle), and the wrist are braced. I wore mine while working at a job which requires me to work with my hands. It works very well and this is a great price. If you have De Quervin's Tenasitavitis, this is the brace you need.

I bought this for my Mother who has severe rheumatoid arthritis, she uses to read in bed regularly. She holds it on her lap with her knees raised behind it for support and it allows her to read hands-free except for occasionally turning a page.

At nearly 87, I, too, have arthritis in both thumb.s I've never had any trouble with either of the two control knobs.(There have been times when I forgot to turn theupper knob to "toast" and ended up with warm, soft bread; but that was my own fault and easily corrected.

The handle is fairly large and has a suede-like top so it doesn't slip out the the hand. I don't have RA, but I think it would be a good handle for anyone as it doesn't have to be gripped tightly to use.

I received mine a a gift from the maker of my arthritis Rx - the handle is easy to grip. You don't need to hold on tightly to maintain control.

I have no idea. But I have arthritis in both of my arms and I have no problem using it.

I have a little arthritis in my right hand and I don't have any trouble. The bar is not hard to adjust but you do need to be able to grip it and twist it to tighten. I really like mine, it works great!

Hi George,I have been using this can opener allot. I have solved the problem with #10 cans by putting them on a turntable so as I open the can it turns. As far as arthritic hands go, I have them as well, and am able to manage quite well, but I don't think I would buy this item again. Hope this helps.

I purchased this a couple of months ago and it turns kind of hard-pull the handle out turn it to the number one after rolling the dough through turn to number 2 and so on. If this doesn't work your machine may be faulty. I have bad hands from arthritis and it can be difficult to use at times but we love the results.

This question should be directed to the manufacturer of the glove. I puchased for a friend who has arthritis and she uses them when she plays golf. She loves the comfort and warmth they provide. They alieve stiffness, not swelling in her case.

M Pitt's answer is nonsense. It works perfectly on callouses. Just keep it moving. Due to heat build-up, this is a precaution that applies to any grinding or polishing operation including nails and acrylic, et.c The speed of rotation is comparable to that of any rotary tool.
