Could a visually impaired person use this? Is the handle easy to pick up? How heavy is it with water in it?

Yes I think it might be ok, it is very simple just fill with water push down the lid and then push a very simple button to turn on. It is very loud and stops making noise when the water is hot, so you could listen for the water to be done. It is very light weight by it self but of course heavier with the water, you do not have to fill it all the way if you want a small amount.

I think it would depend on the level of impairment. The water level is clear plastic with black markings but the print size is not that big. I'm not sure how much it weighs but it's a metal pot and will hold up to a liter and a half of water. I occasionally have problems with one of my wrists and when it's acting up I always pick it up with my other hand because I worry that I might drop it or spill hot water on myself. Might be my paranoia but better safe than sorry

Not heavy at all....rather on the light side. I've only used it as a drama prop, so won't be able to tell how it'd feel if used as a paddle in water.

I think about 6 lbs it's very light. It has a handle makes it very easy to carry. I carry it to the beach. I'm 66 years old its a little low for getting up off of but otherwise I like it .

Its really not heavy at all. Should be easy even for a 10 yr old to use with one hand. My only problem is the suction isnt great and that the filters are pricey. I wish they would make reusable filters.

Hi Sherrie, I sent this to a friend so I don't have any personal experience with it. I do believe it is for home use and I can not imagine it is too heavy to lift with water in it. I think it only takes a couple of gallons to fill. Sorry I can't give more useful or accurate information. C

The handle is not adjustable, but I am 5'2" and it is fine for me. Would be more of a problem for taller people. Does not weigh a lot and is very easy to open.

You can push it, my 2 yr old grandson pushes it all around the house. In all honestly, it's much easier to just pull it. I'm disabled and have no problems pulling my grandson and his toys that have to come with us on our walks. I'm 5 ft. and the handle is a perfect fit

It's not heavy but it is cumbersome to try and get arms around with a good grip. Hope this helps you.

not sure how heavy it is but yes, it can be carried by a single person. would be challenging for a rather small woman but should be ok for any average person. gets a bit challenging when there is a lot of wind but that's the same with any surf board

This is not a huge chair and thus maneuvering is fairly easy. I used it in my home as well as on a vacation for a week and I was fairly successful. The only unfortunate thing I found was that retailers are not always kind or cautious for people in wheelchairs....not leaving enough room to get around and making using their restrooms a nightmare. Good luck.

It's relatively easy to move around. The case and the jack both come with lifting handles, and the wheels allow you to roll it around without picking it up once it's on a flat surface. It's not much more than lifting a heavy bag of groceries, a large bag of dog food, etc. Certainly lighter than the wheels you may be moving around if you use it!

No, it does not have a handle. You have to carry it by picking it up from the bottom. It is not heavy though, so it is easy to move from one place to another.

It's very light and the handle is easy to grasp from different angles. I've had the plastic and it's heavier, plus it's not healthy to heat water in plastic. It doesn't spill and you have controlled pouring. It should always be dried out when empty. I love it.

The handle is much larger than an ordinary cane handle and has an ergonomic design that enables me to comfortably grip it without using much pressure. The fact that it stands by itself I would think would make it easier for him to use.

Less than 20 lbs, it has a toggle pull for you to use to pull out of water. Very easy to move.

Not sure. Would depend on the type of handicap. It's easy to open when you have your hands full.

You will want to slide it forward and pick it up with one hand behind it and one in front. It should be rather easy to lift.
