Does the handle clear the surface that the press is laying on? Can you turn the handle 360 degrees without the tip of the handles hitting the table?

The bar in the handle will turn freely when the bar is placed in the middle of the screw part. It can be slid sideways for added leverage to tighten the vise more.

With the handle, the press is 12" deep x 14" wide by 7-1/2" tall closed. If you look at the picture of the press open, you may see that the top swivels on the handle allowing it to press something as thick as 2" maybe a little more with the plates still parallel. It is limited by the electrical cord that connects from the bottom to the top. We really love this press.

You push the paper up a tad and then sideways. Don't pull on it - it would just tighten the grip.

The handle had not done that with me. It has a locking ring that keeps it in place.This is a great machine and I'm glad I bought it.

The handles are inset in the barrel itself and work very well. I have turned it easily each week as directed and even extreme cold doesn't hinder the movement.

The plastic handle part comes off, but you are left with a "U" shaped metal top (like a slingshot) that makes up the strength part of the bottom half of the handle. I just put the plastic back on, as the "U" sticks up at least half of the height of the handle. It turns out that it's handy to run cords and tubing through, though, haha. I've had this table for a month or so, and so far I am happy with it.

I have no idea. The press I have is very much in tact and I have used it quite a bit. I would go back to the company who sold it through Amazon and depending on when you purchased it, maybe they would consider a replacement or repair. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I've never had a problem with the handle coming loose however when I use it I place it on a granite countertop as it the whole unit came loose on a wooden table , never budged on the counter though. I truly love this unit works like a charm.

The left side of the magazine rack has a non-finished face so that you can nail the backboard on the table. If you tried to reverse it you would be showing the non-finished edge

If your asking if the Handle pivots, yes it does. There's a pivot pin about half way up the handle, not a ball, but has the same effect, to keep the loading pure.

Handle "feels" solid, but it is not, and water can accumulate inside. The exterior tube is steel, about 0.022 inch thick surrounding an inner rubber tube, the black rubber visible at the end of the handle where the exterior steel tube is cut away. This assembly slides up over a sturdy metal frame, making an almost water-tight seal. With the handles pointed upward, it probably would would be nearly waterproof in a dishwasher. Cleanup is super easy, since you just flip the handles to push leftover garlic out of the press. Then a knife or similar instrument can easily clear out the garlic from the press chamber. I don't peel the garlic, so the husk all comes out easily. Handle "feels" solid, but it is not, and water can accumulate inside.

Yes, the handle does jiggle slightly. It doesn't interfere with using it, though.

I guess you would have to take the table out in order to set in portrait position but I never really find a need to do this. I like this case. It works well for my purposes. I like to read in bed which this case is well suited for due to the hand strap. Very compact too.

I haven't had that problem. I'm left handed but not sure if I use it like a left-hander or right-hander. Perhaps you have the handle in the wrong position.

It is not removable by design; however, the handle can be folded flat, rather than protruding at a 90° angle. I have used the desk for a year and have not found it to be a nuisance or troublesome.

Yes, the red button on the white handle locks the handle from either standing to moving straight to lay flat.
