As a senior I am looking for a motor that deploys & retracts without a lot of arm strength required. How does this unit rate?

This is a very good unit once down. It is very easy to get back up, but it is a pain in the butt to get down. You have to hold a leaver down then use your other hand to push it down. I have switched back to motorguide with the pull cord. Much much better deployment

I have one and I think is is as easy as anything on the market...I am not sorry at all that I got this ..It beats my Minnkota that I use to have

If you are using it on a bass boat it wouldn't be too bad. I use it on a 14ft vee hull fishing boat and it's tough to deploy and retract. I'm a big guy and it's tough to do. On a bass boat, standing over the mount it might not be too tough. The motor assembly is pretty heavy and takes quite of bit of "oomph" to pull it up.

For some excersizes its as easy as moving arms different ways or legs .it not hard at all to detach pulleys .So very easy to use definately user friendly !

I do not count its round per min, however it has the same speed whether you put load on it or not. It is a pretty strong motor. Its speed is around a normal robot you used to see on the YouTube videos. It's not too slow, but certainly not fast. I have not try to detach the wheel, since it looked like it is pretty well glued. But I think you can detach it by force!!!

It's not heavy at all.....I do a lot of clients in one day and it never wears on me......I LOVE this drill

I am using the motor to run a sand applicator and it probably pushes 50lbs at a time and doesn't blink - just needs to be able to adjust speed to what you are doing

Operates by cranking handle. Motor is separate attachment and not necessary.

My recommendation would be a variable power drill either corded or cordless that you can put a hose clamp on to vary the speed. They have a much greater range of variance without damage to the motor.

Looked through my book and couldn't find the info you wanted.I can say this , it has worked perfectly for me the motor is a soft start which is nice, I have a 8 inch router that is no problem for the saw. It also has a very well designed safety system. I know some would discard this first thing. The one thing to remember is this is a light weight contractor saw.

My suspicion is that the reason people have it break so quickly is because they run it with the load unbalanced. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to get the load properly balanced, and if you allow it to run unbalanced it destroys the motor. I've had mine for four months, and it hasn't broken yet, but we shall see. Personally, I wouldn't buy it again because of the load balancing issue, even if it doesn't break. When this one bites the dust, I'm going to look for one that is shorter and fatter (since I think the shape of it is a factor in why it's hard to balance the load), and if I can't find one, I'm just going to let my clothes line dry.

Not sure of the how many WATS the motor is... but it's plenty strong! I've done 20 or 30 oranges back to back without any slow down or over heatings. I'm also pretty heavy handed so it must be more then enough....

It is well balanced and cranks easily. You tyrn it at one revolution per second, so it's a slow turn. I am 75 years old. If i can do it, anyone can.

I only have this model, and don't know what the difference is, but my daughter-in-law keeps taking it away from me because she thinks it's fun to work with. She's typical; not weak, but certainly not an athlete. I think if you have normal strength you'll be fine.

It is a 500lb lift motor. Ergomotion has been bought out so this model might be discontinued. I would recommend looking at Leggett & Platt the motors have a 700lb lift capacity.

It depends on how fast you want it to pull. The basic equation is energy in = energy out minus efficiencies. I would expect this motor to be able to pull at least 100 lb. laterally at with an RPM of around 1200RPM or thereabouts.

Slow. Idk an actual speed. I bought an axial 27t motor for about $13 and it nearly. Doubled the speed. Still climbs fine

Not really a light weight unit at all. Seems to be heavier than others I have used or looked at. I would advise a senior person to look for a lighter unit, since this one can require a good bit of effort to put into or get it out of, an automobile.,

There is no motor and I purchased it to use as a hand tool, but it doesn't work. Am not sure which model it is for......
