Hi Elsie, it is a very comfortable 2-1/2 pounds. It does the job nicely. Hope this helps.

For me....a little more exertion than norm, but that's because I have arthritic fingers ! I think it would be easier for anyone else as it still doesn't take much effort for even me !!

I have psoriatic arthritis and I did not have a problem with it. But if your hands are in pretty bad shape, maybe you should opt for the table top Veggetti.

Uncertain of the weight (the battery in my food scale decided to quit!), but the pull-out spray is rather heavy, and probably not ideal for arthritic hands. It's unfortunate, as it is a very nice faucet. On the plus side, the spray spout does easily go back in.

It weighs less than my regular walker but is very sturdy. It folds up by pressing down on a spring loaded lever. The lever is fairly large so it is great if you have trouble with arthritis. There are 2 of these levers, one on each side just below the top cross bar. My therapist specifically recommended this one for many good reasons. I love it. Regards, Ron P.

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.

Your mom can use this very easily. I'm 56 and have rheumatoid arthritis, and have no trouble using it. It pushes very easily.

It's not heavy but it is cumbersome to try and get arms around with a good grip. Hope this helps you.

I too have arthritis, but not so much in the hands...as another comment says, it depends on how much is in the pot!

Cannot state actual weight but it is quite heavy (and very sturdy). I have arthritis in my hands and always use both hands to lift it. I love it and always use it more than other lighter weight pots

It weighs 4lb 7 and 3/4 oz. weighed on my kitchen food scale. I have rheumatoid arthritis and can pick it up easily. Also the handles stay cool and are ergonomically designed which helps in lifting it easily.

I am careful when using something like this. I only use it on occasion. Yes, my hands feel the impact, if I exceed an occasional use. I think this is a product that is best avoided for those of us that have hand issues--or possibly if we are collecting social security because we qualify with our age. :O)

I also have Rheumatoid arthritis and this pot is very lightweight and the handle does not get too hot.

I don't know the exact weight; I'd estimate about 8 oz. I guess it would depend how severe the arthritis is as to whether it would be suitable. If not too severe, I do not think they would have any problem with its weight.

I have a small hand (about 7 inches) and I have no difficulty at all with the mitt, which I find awesome. I hope this helps.

The head of the faucet itself doesn't feel that heavy, maybe 2-3 pounds. It does feel good in your hand, substantial; you can tell its metal not plastic and that's what I liked about it. The combination of the head and the hose when you pull it out does feel heavy, and maybe someone with arthritis may find it difficult. There is metal cladding around the hose itself and that adds to the weight.
