With skinny handles, does anyone find it hard to handle/hold?

I think you answered your own question...I bought this set for a wedding gift, as it was on the bride's list. She is a young person, who may have liked the aesthetics of the pattern, but I personally like a wider or graduated and more "flat" handle. So you probably need to choose another pattern that suits your needs.

Absolutely not! These are solid, sturdy pieces and fit just right in your hand. Beware of stacking in the drawer...haha.

We don't find them hard to hold at all. In fact, we really like the feel and are happy with the purchase.

There is an adjustment in the handle that can be made or the problem lies elsewere. My husband easily made the adjustment. We have been very happy with the handles! Hope this helps!

No. Handles are not typical on these smaller tanks as they can cause issues when the tank is being filled. Handles are more common on 10lb and 20lb tanks.

Great! It is very sturdy BUT you need to have good control of your body and equilibrium. As long as both hands are grabbing the handles with the same weight you are good, otherwise it gets out of place...

No, not comfortably. Maybe forarm. I know because mine are chub too. Thankfully going down.

I find then comfy to hold. Only issue for me is that the metal handles bend easily.

I haven't been bothered by the handle length.My first one so I just accepted it and got to like it.The slippery handle was a problem.Someone on line suggested wrapping a couple of rubber bands around handle.Worked great.In fact the resulting wider grip is also a plus for me.

The locking system works easily but I find that to get really thin pizzelles it is best to sqeeze the handle tightly for the first few seconds after closing the lid. This is not necessary if you don't have to have really thin ones. This is my first time making them and maybe I want them too thin.

The "handles" are embedded in the lengthwise side of the cylinder. They allow for a pretty good grip. For me personally (I have short arms) I could probably use one more set of handles (I think there are two or three sets), but it's for the most part pretty easy to turn. You just pull it towards you (just make sure the lid is on ;) )

Not really. You could put a belt through the straps for the handle, but I'm not sure how comfortable that would be. I use the shoulder strap so it doesn't bang against my leg or pull my pants down. It is also easier to swing it out of my way then.

No, I dont have a soft grip handle, and o am not aware of that is an option.

Not easily. My girl is 1 1/2 years old and about 75 pounds. The current set up works great for her. I love the double handles and, of course, the padding.

I agree w/other responders here --- if I can hold/use w/o difficulty, it's not too heavy. ---

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

Mine too. I think it's partly because it's a little difficult to grip & twist at the same time.

Not that I have figured out. The handles are at a pretty comfortable height for me at 5'4"ish but probably a little low for my hubby who reluctantly pushes our kitties now and then.

I sometimes loop my arms under them and grip the sides instead of gripping my hands on the colored area. Hope that helps :-)
