Is the button easy to press? I have. Arthritis

I have not found it to take a lot of pressure, however, it is not very large. I dont think it would be an issue unless the size were to make it a little tougher to get it all the way into fully on. (If pressed only part way it will stay on only while you hold button)

in my hands the button is very easy to push, and very ergonomic. If you wrap your fingers around the handle to hold the wand, your thumb sits right on top of the button. The button is not large, but just pushing down slightly with the flesh of your thumb works fine, the case around the button does not interfere.

It's pretty easy to press, and you don't have to hold it down. Just click it on and off.

I just received mine and remembered this question so I wanted to come back to answer it because I don't agree with all the other reviews. I am female with fairly small hands and arthritis in both thumbs. I can open it easily with one hand and, in fact, can't figure out why you would need to hold the canister itself. I just place my hand over the top, depress the button with my arthritic thumb and gently pull up to open. To close, it's just the reverse--push the button in while pushing gently down. Before posting this, I tried it while it was empty to be sure that it would work this easily empty and it does.

Yes, since your hand is in there, it's quite easy to hold the button down. You have to get comfortable, of course. But it's easy

I don't find it difficult to release. I do not have arthritis, but I think I recall that a reviewer said it was hard to release, but I disagree.

I just turned it on and off many times to be sure. It's not a huge button, in fact it feels small. Yet it engages easily and gives you a positive "click." Plus they give you two extra buttons in case you wear the first one out.

George I do not have arthritis but the knob turns easily and since it is so big it may be easier for you to hold.

Yes the button must be held down. I too have arthritis, esp. in my thumbs but I could do it without a problem. I dont think I could blend for a long period of time, however, without fatigue.

This button does take a little pressure to push but I would not call it hard. Also the button has a slight click that you can feel when it has been made. If it works when you test it it should work for deliveries.

The buttons are pretty stiff and sometimes, after not using for a while, I have to almost break them in. It's like a got to break through the crude around it before it starts working. But it's never come to the point where I get tired or anything. I guess it's better too stiff than too sensitive.

I don't think so - the button is convenient and at the top so even with small hands I think it is easy to use

I have the beginning of arthritis in my hands but find this much easier to use than other presses...the handles are more ergonomic, and don't hurt my hands. I can even press garlic cloves without peeling them, but I use 2 hands for that....but it's a time saver.

Not at all, very easy to depress button! I love this stuff! It holds so great but goes on super light so it doesn't weigh your down.

Yes it is easy to press. I would think most dogs could do it unless they were really small.

Not at all...I Have used it four days a week for several months now and works perfect. The buttons are on the side and are very easy to handle.

No they are easy to press. But the first time I dropped it it shatterd my screen. Go with the defender case much better case and the buttons are easy to press
