would a mom in her late 70"s be able to push this back

The carpet cleaner did not seem to heavy although I never had it completely together because I had to send it back for being damaged as soon as I removed it from the box. There was a piece broken off preventing me from securing the handle into the bottom unit. I would imagine that, after getting water in it, that it would become much heavier though and more difficult for an older woman to handle.

for a 91 year old, it should be. my grandma uses it to brace her self when we are transporting her. she also uses it to slide push herself up when she is trying to escape.

You shouldn't need that much force. I am a 60 yr. old woman and can't left over 35 lbs. I didn't have any problems. The only thing I can suggest is trying to reverse which wheel you put on the end of the shaft. If all else fails reread the directions. I know sometimes I miss something.

I'm 35 and its heavy for me to wheel it far. I can put up myself but its better to have someone help. But I love it cause its very durable.

This would depend on your general ability to move. i am 60 and don't have any problems or foresee any in the future. It does not have any structured bottom to prevent slipping though and it has a nice smooth finish that may become slippery when wet or just emptied of soapy water. Sorry for not much of an answer, but there are too many variables that may matter to you and not to me.

I am 5'2" and it is easy to pull up and fold but I am not so sure at how easy it would be for an 83 year old to lock it. But I don't know how her hands are. On the other hand this is a very light and portable walker and I love it. Would she be able to store it between a wall and the end of a couch perhaps where she may not need to lock it perhaps? Mine is in the car and it is quite late so tomorrow if it might work that way for you I could measure at certain points while folded to see if it would work under the handles while folded in places. The rounded bar swings away and is no problem. Just give a comment and I will check it out if you let me know what you need. I really love it in every way. It adjusts in height and mine is at the very bottom so if she is taller keep that in mind. It is an awesome color too

It may be a little difficult for her. It takes a good bit of effort for me to get it in tight. I'm a 36 year old mother of two.

Hi Laura, I just put it on the lowest tension setting, and I feel like the wheel is sliding partly from momentum (so it's easy)...however, the wheel inside is kind of heavy so starting it going might take a little strength...not a lot...but I don't know how weak your mother is. Also, keep in mind that the machine itself is very heavy, and I doubt you mom would be able to move it around the house. The $40 machine I got from Dick's Sporting goods has little tension, but is also unpleasant to pedal because it gets 'stuck' at the top and bottom of the cycle. I would recommend asking someone who wrote a review about giving it to an elderly parent...I think that would give you a better view of the Magnetrainer's usefulness in the situation than my conjecture. Best, Dmitry

I bought this as a gift for my Mom and Sister. My Mom is 71 and loves it. They both say it is sturdy. I hope this helps.

I think it could work. It depends upon how much upper body strength she has. I will say it'll probably get a little easier the more she uses it.

My mom is 5 ft tall & 90 yrs old. She is able to get in & out of chair pretty easily. The arms are wide & she uses them to stand up. I do put a cushion behind her back to make it a little more comfy. I love that I can lower the back so she's able to nap comfortably.

Very little. My 85 year old mother does not have a lot of strength and has no real problem.

It took my husband 45 minutes to put it together but he's Mr. Handyman. If you know how to use basic tools, like a screwdriver and wrench and maybe have an extra set of hands around, you should be able to do it. yes, I'm in my 60's and this machine is great, particularly because it's up off the floor, which is what I needed. My only criticism is that the resistance is pretty low. I'm not in shape at all but could use more resistance.

If she is a strong 93 years old, yes. It has several speed which will be convenient, also is sturdy, and very easy to get on and off. I hope this help. Congratulation to your mom for being so active at 93.

There is a knob on the front of the exerciser. As you spin it to the right, the tension increases. I think it can crank up to a tension level of 5, which is too difficult for me. The first and second tension levels may be appropriate for your elderly mom. I have only used it as an arm exerciser but it can be used for legs as well. There is also a gage showing the speed, the time and the distance.

Yes. I'm 45 years old and only 5'3 and about 130 lbs and I can set it up and take it down myself. Granted it would be easier with another person but it can be done alone. Good luck!
