I have arthritis. Do you have to hold the fruit down?

You do. I gently rotate the fruit as the reamer turns to get the most juice. But you're not using much pressure at all, as that would stop the reamer from turning, and you could use just the flat of your hand to push down the fruit enough to activate the reamer without having to close your fingers around it.

Yes, you have to hold the fruit down, but because it reverses when you release and push down again it seems to do a better job with less pressure.

I don't find it difficult to release. I do not have arthritis, but I think I recall that a reviewer said it was hard to release, but I disagree.

No, I don't recommend that. It will dry out the fruit. The nuts will be OK, though.

Hello. I love fresh tumeric. Make sure you peel it first and make sure you wear gloves. It is extremely staining. Stains everything. You can grate it like ginger. I put it in my green smoothies. It is so good for you. I suppose it depends on the severity if the arthritis and you would have to ask a professional but I believe it helps some and it is a better more organic way of helping instead of a pill.

Put a permanent bolted to the wall one close to where you exit. I put one in my toilet area wall to help. I have arthritis in my arms and hands and it helps to get up

I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and I don't have a problem. It's not that big of a deal as far as I'm concerned. If she has a really hard time squeezing,I would suggest you look for something else, but again, I don't have a problem at all with mine. *Remember, you can always return it to Amazon and get a refund and try something else if you'd like.

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!

The button would be pushed in by your index or your pointer finger and is fairly easy to push in. You do need your thumb to support/hold the bottle while pushing. If your arthritis is severe then it may be hard to do.

Yes, I have to hold it, and even though I have pretty severe arthritis, it's not difficult to hold. I also like the fact that for safety reasons that it will shut off if I release it!!

I use the bottom part of my palm, next to my wrist, to push the pad that locks it in place, then it just has to be folded up while pushing, I use my fingertips to pull up on it. It is not hard. I have some arthritis in my hands, but not debilitating arthritis. It does not bother my hands at all.

George I do not have arthritis but the knob turns easily and since it is so big it may be easier for you to hold.

I use a Velcro one. I don't have arthritis but I only have the use of one hand, so the pull-on braces are harder for me and the Velcros are easier. Hope this helps!

I also have arthritis and it is a little difficult. I use a butter knife to open.

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 make fresh juice every morning using a few different kinds of vegs. and apple and some pineapple. I add the fresh turmeric to the juice I make. I also add fresh ginger. The two together are supposed to be very helpful for arthritis which I also have. It helps me with the pain in my joints. I also am not as stiff as I used to be when I get up in the am.
