is it easy for someone with arthritis to use?

Yes. I specifically bought it for someone who has arthritis and she loves this opener.

If you can pick up a flashlight, then the Ozeri will pretty much be the same. You also need to be able to grip the bottle with the other handto keep it from rotating as the screw penetrates the cork. The cork remover will the eject the cork with a push of the button. I would say it would be much easier than using a regular cork screw.

I would say, no. You have to grip the bottle with one hand and use the other hand to push in both sides of the foil cutter while turning. The up and down buttons should be easier while removing the cork, but both hands need to be used. One to hold the bottle steady and one to hold the corkscrew.

Absolutely. The metal cutter has to be squeezed and may be a little tough if you have arthritis in fingers on both hands but the corkscrew just involves pressing a button and holding the wine bottle.

This is by far the easiest opener I have ever used. If you have arthritis but can press a button, you are golden.

The lock feature keep the opener closed with little hand pressure once the can is pierced.....So, that removes the necessity of maintaining a strong grip on the 2 handles when opening a can.Yes, much easier on arthritic hands.

I don't have arthritis in my hands, but in my opinion this vacuum is very easy to maneuver. I would think it would be easier than a standard vacuum for persons with arthritis.

i have arthritis in both hands, yet i have no problem using the nabber. all you need is to grab it with twp fongers and cradle it in the arch between your thumb and forefinger and it will work fine.

Most likely it will work if you are not suffering from any serious arthritis symptoms.

Its quite easy to use. There are many devices available. Your doctor should advice.

It is easy to open but it might be difficult for someone with serious arthritis as it get hot and is heavy when it is full.

I think it depends on how bad your arthritis is. As Kimberlee said, you must simultaneously slide a button back & lift up the entire gate. If it's hard for you to squeeze your hand/make a fist, it might be difficult for you to lift up the gate. It's not particularly heavy, but can be awkward.

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 !!

To me it feels like it is easy to push down but I am young and don't have arthritis or any other hand problems. Mine does take a little bit of force to push it down; I personally think its the perfect amount.

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.

Not hard on hands or wrists, even though I have arthritis.... Hard on your back if your abs aren't already strong!!

I have some arthritis. I think this can opener is about as easy as you can find in a manual opener. I was very pleased at how it zipped around the can without struggling.

It's easy for this WWII era geezer with arthritis. It should be easy for anyone.

I have some arthritis in my hands & sometimes have difficulty opening these. I take the end of a spoon & fit it into the little groove in each compartment & find it's much easier to open that way.

I have used it on my hands - I have arthritis in my thumbs and it seems to help the aching.

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.
