How easy is it to move for a shorter (5' 2") person? It looks like the support stand would be in the way and drag the ground.

One assembled it's not so bad to move around. assembly will require two people to lift it from the shipping base. It's at least a two man or more man lift if you need to load it into a truck or something. Unfortunately mine came with a gas leak and since the company refused to provide on site support and I don't have a truck, I haven't been able to get it serviced yet.

it is not easy to move as it is awkward to pick up the handle so the support stand clears the ground. I'm 5'11" and it can be difficult. I've found that it easier to push it

It is heavy and not very easy to move over the lawn, It rolls easy on hard surface

I have no problems either pulling or pushing the shredder around. I push it though the yard and pull it when going up a step into my garage. Although I am 6'0", I don't feel that is the issue but rather a person needs to be in general good shape such as being able to push a mower.

I'm 6ft, it's not fun to move, but manageable. I imagine it doesn't matter how tall you are. It might even be easier for a shorter person. It's pretty heavy and yes the support stand is what is the problem area when trying to move it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this a reason to not buy this machine or to buy a competitor. This is a good machine and it's worth working through the minor movement hurdles.

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin

You can move it with you feet if your legs are strong. If it were a hard surface it would be easier, but for the most part I'm in plowed (loose and soft) dirt and with your weight it will bog down.

Well, it has wheels. If you're a taller person, though, you'll be bending over more than you may like if you pull it far at all. As a taller person I have mine on an elevated stump-stand because this little powerhouse sits close to the ground. Two people to safely lift it. Awkward to carry. Gotta love the little beast, though.

Mine is big, so cant get around that it's awkward and not exactly light, but it's definitely manageable and not too heavy. I have hardwoods so if I move it I just stand it up on one side and slide it, that makes it easy for me.

The legs are adjustable. If you are 5'4 or a little less, in the lowest position it's easy to get on or off

Well, when it's at an angle from your hand to the floor, it needs to be long enough for tall people. Shorter people can hold it lower down. I'm 5'5" and haven't had a problem using it.

Nope. You will be perfectly fine using this equipment. My mom is also 5' tall and had no issues using it. In fact, she really enjoys using it.

Yes, it is pretty easy to set up, even for one person. I am 5'9'' and I had no issues at all.

I am 5'7" and M comfortable moving the cart. I have two hoses hooked to it and it works well for me

With the help of a second person it would be easy to move. I move it around myself in my daughters room. The construction is sturdy; however I don't know what it would be like to move to a separate floor.

That is adjustable using the legs. I think there are 3 or 4 positions that the legs can go to so it can be fairly high, or closer to the ground for us short folks.

No, it's not and it might be hard to use by someone who is taller than average. I am 5'3' and find it high enough for someone taller to use, but not a lot taller.

Although the student this was bought for is about 5'8" tall, I don't see any problems with a shorter person using it. She is very pleased with it.

Just pick up the non wheel side, and move it....it is not difficult..even with a chunky child...

It's not light but I can pick it up and carry it short distances. It does have wheels which might help. I have wheeled it between buildings but I have not tried to move it up and down stairs. Anyway, going down would be lot easier than going up which might require two people.

I'm 5'2" with a short torso, and the lower back support is great. I have the back rest as low as it will go and have to sit completely back against it. However, the seat pan is shallow enough that my short legs easily reach the foot rest when I'm sitting against the back rest.
