How easily does it fold and store and unfold and use? Can my mother, age 70, do this?

It folds easily but it is a bit heavy so unless it's right there where she can slide it under the bed then I'd say yes. If she has to lift it up to stand it against a wall, I'd say no. I am 66, in pretty good shape and I have trouble with that.

She will most likely just keep it down if she uses it. I can handle it. I'm 61. One problem I have once in a while is the belt slips to the side and I have to get my husband to help me "true" it so I don't get that burned rubber smell.I still like the treadmill but if I had it to do over I would get one with padding. Look for one with a small footprint so it doesn't take up much room. That is what I liked about this one.

Not easily. But it does fold. The bottom folds but you have to remove the table to get it flat

I have only had mine for a short time and it's not too warm yet in Michigan, so haven't used it much. So far I'd say it is not easy to open. I think it would be a problem for an elderly person. It is fairly comfortable, but you really have to push to get it to recline. Maybe it will be better with use and some WD-40.

I don't think it is hard to fold or store, but I have hard wood floors so it slides easily. Once folded it is maybe around 8 inches to a foot in depth that it would occupy.

Its pretty easy to fold up but to transport it from one area to another takes some strength. I usually have to leave it in a stationary spot (open),or ask my husband to stow it away. Hope this was helpful.

Yes, Its very easy. There are two knobs which you can easily screw and unscrew, to move up and down and tighten it to be fit. Thats all. The guidelines for the measurement in regards to the type of fold is there on the machine for easy look up. One of the best to own! Hope this Helps!

It is very easy to fold up! No problem with folding or lifting. It is lightweight but sturdy, and easy to operate. I am 71 y/o woman and not very strong but able to handle this unit.

It's super easy. Apply the foot brake, pull up on the two side handles and it will just collapse and fold itself up on the ground. Make sure the lock on the side is clicked (which usually happens on it's own when it collapses) and it's done! It's really easy to flip open as well. Baby Gizmo has a good video on You Tube that shows all of it.

Yes. It does fold up easily. There are two knobs you unscrew by hand that you'll have to unscrew and store someplace. Other than that wonky design, it's easy to deal with.

Very easy after you do it once. There's a handle in the center of the seat on that you just pull up and it folds in half - super easy!

I have not tried to do that, although the instructions said it should be fairly "easy" to fold it up. Not convinced it's all that easy. Sorry I can't be of more help. Don't the instructions give any info?

It folds and unfolds very easily. I would assume that, unless you were very rough, it will last a long time. We love ours, especially because it can substitute for another seat.

I haven't tried to fold it....it doesn't take up much room at all! The tension is adjustable so it is great for both my husband and myself. It isn't very heavy, but is sturdy...we are very pleased!

Yes, it folds and a fifty year old woman with arthritis can lift it - but I don't know how much it weighs. I used mine to get around my office with a broken leg and the chair is in storage. I lifted it with arms and leg supports disconnected. It is five pieces.

You can fold it up and roll it, I haven't done it, but it looks possible. It's not heavy, so, you cn easily carry it.

It is very easy to fold. The quick release is secure, but releasing the latch and lifting it will allow it to fold with no effort.There is a photo of it folded on the Heartland America website.
