if the pot is empty, will it tip over due to a heavy handle?

No. The pot is very stable. It is a thing of beauty as well as a mighty five pot to use.

No it will not. The handles for the CIA pans are constructed so that when the pan is full, it doesn't put undo stress on the arm. The curvature and length is different depending on the size of the pan. So they don't just put the same handle on every pan they make like most companies. The styles were tested at the Culinary Institutes schools on students and teachers for extended amounts of time before they released them.

This vacuum will most definitely tip over. It's fine in the upright position, but if you use the hose, it will fall over. You have to curl the hose around it and pull from the front to avoid tip over.

I have not found that to be the case at all. Very nice mug that won't tip over!

After reading your question I decided to try it. The answer is yes. BUT... I do want to qualify my answer by saying that I tested it on a perfectly flat and level surface with no wind at all. I think if you used it on a surface that isn't absolutely level you might have a problem with a pot that big and heavy. Also, I think it's important to note that I used it with the larger sized isobutane can, which helps with stability.

Unless left on high for quite a while the handle remains quite cool to the touch. Come to think of it I don't think I have ever had to use a potholder.

It doesn't lean much - When I take off a heavy pot it does move, but not a big deal at all.

Yes, it will tip if not mounted and not stand up with the lid open. Mine isn't mounted, but is stored leaning on a wall.

Re: handle/hose--not that I've ever noticed (I've had this model for about a year, I think). And it's very stable-- no tipping at all

No. Mine is free standing and loaded pretty heavy. Haven't had any problem with leaning or tipping over.

I only had an issue with it tipping over if I was hanging a heavy carry on bag off the extendable handle. Otherwise it was quite stable.

I purchased this for work and my employee uses it, however I seem to think that possible the handle may go down, not up? I could be wrong on that.

We are quite elderly, but we have used this item now for a couple of months and have not had a tip over problem. However, it is not anchored to the floor, so I suppose one might be able to tip it under unusual circumstances, such as falling and grasping a handle for a sidewise support. We also added a seat riser to the commode, which helps us rise to a standing position easily. Hope this helps.

The product is sturdy; however, it is top heavy when both the steamer handle and clothing are hung with the steamer pole extended to the highest position. If you lower the pole setting and avoid the temptation of using it as a hanger, you won't find any issues with it tipping over. Keep in mind though that if it does tip over, the reservoir will fall out and leak some water on the floor.

No, but it is small and compact, unlikely to tip over. Move important is - NEVER USE HIGH HEAT. Use low or medium. High will trip a breaker or burn a hole in the wall.

Hi Debbie. If you didn't overload it, you might be okay, but it is on the narrow side and I think would tip over with too much in it. Hope that helps! :) Andie

I would be afraid that a toddler would be able to pull this over if climbed on. While it is steady enough to hold cast iron cookware, it would tend to fall over if climbed on.

I mentioned that in my review- to be more specific, it is stable on a flat surface without the lid but if you rest it on a gas burner without a supporting rib under the handle side it can tip backwards due to the weight of handle. I haven't had the problem since I got a new stove with a ceramic cooktop.
