What is weight of the filled pitcher? is it difficult to lift? Arthritis in thumbs and difficulty holding onto heavy items. Cannot see the handle.

Not sure of the weight...maybe 4-6 lbs. But at the front and back of the pitcher, the "cover" extends about 3 inches, so there's more than enough room to comfortably hold on and move it.

No the tea kettle is not very heavy. I also have arthritis and although I bought this for my daughter I find it easy to use.

Not hard at all. There are side handles just below the lid handles which makes it very easy to carry. I'm very happy with this product.

I don't have a scale to weigh it. But I'm 80 years old and can lift it with one hand. In my opinion it's a great health tool.

It is really hard to answer this question not knowing your mother. Just because someone is elderly doesn't mean they don't have strength in their hands. I am over 60 and have no problem using this grip 'n grab. I have some arthritis in my hands but not severe and I use the grabber with ease. I say give it a try and if it doesn't work usually Amazon is usualy good about allowing you to return things (but check that out first). Also, when you get it you might find it handy for yourself. This really is a great tool! I plan on getting another one or two to place in the garage and around the house.

Not very heavy. I am nearly 70 years old and suffer with weak hands and wrists, but never have any problems lifting or moving the pressure cooker even when filled to capacity.I can highly recommend it for use by a pensioner

I believe the weight would be too much when the pitcher is filled. The filter lid is weighty so for me it would be difficult to manage with the heavier glass. We are very pleased with our pitcher and would definitely purchase it again.

I am so sorry, I gave this as a gift so I cannot weigh it for you, but I can tell you that it is not heavy at all. It would be no problem for a young, middle-aged, or even an elderly person to be able to lift it. My mom is 90 years old and does not have any problem with lifting. Hope this helps!!...

3" tall and then the lid sits on top of that. I can't tell you the exact weight however it seems lighter than some of their previous models. That could be because of a better handle which gives your a better grip. My previous one had a curved handled and was pretty hard to hold for a sustained amount of time.

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!

I requested return of this item because the stopper did not fit and was of a harder plastic. Amazon issued a credit and told me to keep the pitcher. It has been donated to the salvation army. Interestingly I bought an identical one from Walmart last week for $5.00. The stopper is of soft rubber and although it is a snug fit I cannot shake it. You cannot pour with the stopper in.

I bought this for my husband who has much larger hands than I do. I find I can not use the high quality knives that he uses because of my arthritis and the smaller size of my hands makes his knives off balance for me. Having said that - I do not know how heavy it is because I just tip it up and rock it. I find that the weight of this is it's asset for me because I do not have to grip it hard or push down on it. I simply rock it and before I know it the job is done. Hope this helps.

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.

I'm unable to squeeze my hand to clean the inside of the pitcher... the narrowest part of the pitcher's neck has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches... I use a pair of cooking thongs and a sponge to scrub the inside of the pitcher.

I don't have arthritis in my hands, but in my opinion this vacuum is very easy to maneuver. I would think it would be easier than a standard vacuum for persons with arthritis.

I have arthritis, but not in my fingers. It takes a bit of strength to open the compartments.

I have the 1 quartstop pitcher and the diameter measures about 2.5 inches. Your hand will not fit in the bottle. This is not an issue for me because we use it to hold raw goat milk and cleanliness is super important so I use a bottle brush and then I can be sure it is good and clean. Blessings <><
