I am buying this for my 94 year old mother who still bakes. SHe has arthritis in her hands. Do you think this will work for her?

Thank you for your inquiry. The unit seems to turn rather easily. I think it should work out for her just fine. Thank you

No. It doesn't crank very smoothly at all. And flour tends to fly everywhere. I went back to using a sieve. I am 68 with some arthritis myself.

Hi. This handle is pretty easy to turn. If your mother can use a spoon to stir she should be able to use the sifter. Hope this helps.

I think it may work and the reason I say so is that I have a 95 year old mother-in-law who still bakes and this is the style of sifter she uses. I hope this helps.

I think she should be fine, depending on how bad she has it in her hands. It is definitely better than the Walmart ones, they hurt my hands and that is why I went and bought this one. It is closer to the "old time" version that I am used to that my mother used, can't seem to find those anymore. I think she will be pleased as will you.

The way the handles are shaped, she should be able to slip her hand into them or above them and just lean into them to set them. Dad is 71, with arthritis, and bone cancer and he manages it well enough. In the end, roll the dice, get it home try it. If it doesn't work return it. or go to a med. equipment store and try different ones til you find one that works.

I wouldn't have an answer on arthritis because I do not have arthritis. Your best bet would be to contact TFX company.

I would think so. It was just difficult for my 89 yr old mom to use on her own. You have to get the sock on the donner and then be able to pull it up. She wasn't able to do that.

I believe it would be great for your arthritis. I got it because I was diagnosed with tendinitis & golfers elbow. I have very tiny wrists. It works for me great! I use it 5 times a day. Cold first then I heat it up in water as the instructions say to. I do however use a paper towel for both as it does get cold/hot but when it wears off, I remove the paper towel. I love this product and highly recommend it.

I have small hands as well -- also 66-year old hands. I know what you mean abut how difficult other garlic presses can be to use but this press works just great or me.

My mom is 84 next month and it is not hard for her to use at all. She uses a cushion on top. The only thing I can say negative is that it is not light and a little difficult for her to move if she wants to use it on different furniture.

Not really sure, but definitely worth a try as some people swear by it. If arthritis is the issue, I also recommend trying exercises, like the kind in Treat Your Own Hand and Thumb Osteoarthritis. Good luck!

I slide four fingers on my left hand into the recess and pull to open the door. It works well for me, but I don't have arthritis.If you need to loop your fingers around a handle then this won't work for you. IF it does work for you, it's an excellent microwave!

Yes it will work. I'm 58 and I've seen much improvement in the texture and sagging. I use mine a couple of times a week. It does work on fine lines but it took a few months for me to see a real change. I love this roller. I ordered a different one but this one is my favorite. Good Luck, Janet

I bought one for my 88 year old mother and she uses it just fine. She has some arthritis in her hands. It is relatively easy to use for a hand can opener

Yes! My elderly Mother has been using this gel pad for 2 years. It was a great deal.

Hi. It works easily, but rusts fast. If u buy it, make sure u dry it off every time you use it. It does cut nicely, and I would assume it would be great for arthritic hands.

I'm sure that will work just as well. It is a very good product. I bought it for my 86 yr old aunt and it is been great for her.i definetly reccommend this item.

My 98 year old grandma introduced this to me many years ago and I still use it to this day. I put it on anything that is achy or sore. I also purchased some for my dad and mom and they use it for arthritis pain.

MY Mom is using this product (she's 89) and she has no problem with this product at all. I tried it and it seems to be just fine

It works better that the old style openers. My wife and I both have arthritic in the hands. Hope this helps.
