How heavy is this toothbrush? Would it be okay for an older person with some arthritis?

It has some weight to it but not heavy per se. The handle is a nice size so gripping would not be an issue. Unless extremely frail I thi this is a fine product. Good luck.

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.

I think it would be fine but of course this depends on the degree of arthritis.

no, not heavy at all. i actually don't use this one anywhere because it randomly stopped working but i can't say 100% that it wasn't because of something i did.

I am disabled and I had some workers from my assisted living facility install it for me. I have it on a small table and I have adjusted it for space. I don't think that it is very heavy

Don't buy this one. I don't have arthritis and it is kind of tough for me....

It's just a manual toothbrush. And it has some rubber bristles that didn't hold up well. I'm not rough with my brushing.

Hi! It weighs at almost three pounds...if buying for a senior citizen, please check with their doctor first because it is heavy and it is powerful on the high speed...you don't want any injuries or bruises if it's dropped accudently... I love mine and it works great in a short amount of time, just check with their doctor and follow the directions included!

It is easy to open but it might be difficult for someone with serious arthritis as it get hot and is heavy when it is full.

If you have arthritis in your hands I would not recommend this Unit. The pressure is a little more in this unit compared to the Dyson rechargeable Vac which I also have. Hope this answer helps.

The head of the toothbrush is a normal size as appears in the picture. Different brush heads are available. I don't know what you mean by sensitive gums. However, you can vary the amount of pressure you apply up to the point where it blinks to tell you that you are pushing too hard. There are two speeds to pick from so you should find one of them satisfactory. A certain amount of "vibration" and pressure is required to adequately clean your teeth, of course. I've found it to do a much better job then a manual toothbrush.

Not heavy at all....I think it weighs about 10 pounds, but when you turn the rollerbrush on it moves forward pretty much on it's own.I love it!

I bought this for my 86 year old Mother-in-law so I only opened the box and handed it to her. I would guess the weight to be around a pound but no more than 2. She is small, frail, and uses it constantly.

It is not too heavy; as a 66 years old, I can easily lift it up, hope this helps.

I have a Miniature dachshund which is 7 pounds. The toothbrush is bordered on both sides if you get the triple action which is great for small dogs. The only thing I should mention is the one I bought looks a little different than the one on the site now.

to me, it feels like it weighs 12 pounds...it really is not that heavy. I bought this for my mother, who is 87 now. She really likes it and the other women think it is a nice unit. I hope this helps in your decision.

I'm 72 and have arthritis and it was still difficult for me to use especially on soup cans. That was the reason I purchased the opener. For me it was too short and wide for my hand to hold and push it properly. My husband has arthritis too but it did wrk for him.

It is not as heavy as the Wahl trimmer (if you have it). The weight seems to be just there to me since I do not have to put extra pressure on the massager while massaging. I would compare it's weight to the empty ceramic cup.
