Can you lift this out of a mug with one handle, or does it fold while lifting?

It does not fold while lifting. The handles are not on springs, if that is what you are thinking. Just hinges that you manually fold out and back in. So far it has been perfect for my uses! And yes, you can lift it by either handle.

Good question. It snaps into place when you fold or unfold it, so you can lift it out of the mug with one handle. Each side of the handle folds separately, and it stores nicely in the plastic container if you want to make a quick cup in the morning and bring the wet leaves to work with you for a second steeping. Although it is not as big as my other infuser, it works perfectly with my 20 oz mug, and even fits the smaller opening on my 24 oz tea pot. I love it.

Yes, you can. There are 2 handles. The smaller one is approximately 1 inch, the other approximately 2 inches. It is simple to lift the infuser with only the longer handle after your tea is the right strength. The handles do not fold upward, only down. It's quite sturdy, actually. If you purchase this handy little item, I hope you enjoy!

Yes, you can lift the infuser out of a mug with only one handle. Neither handle folds while lifting. It's designed with a spring like motion that secures the handles in the placement of your choice. It's quite versatile. I love it. Hope this helps.

Once the arms are extended, they are held in place and don't fold back down unless you push them. You can definitely lift it out of a mug and carry it around with just one of the handles.

I have the tea infuser with porcelain dish and the handle does not fold at all, but love it anyway.

hi......the handle does not fold kinda big and bulky...but it works great well worth the price thinking of ordering another for a spare

Yes, I can fold mine back easily to hold in one hand. Folded back is how I use it 95% of the time. It's pretty comfortable texture for your hand too, not slippery, or hot, or weird.

No.. U cannot remove the top handle. But u can fold and use comfortably.. Its not bulky, but strong enough.

No. The only part designed to fold is the handle. Though, I never figured out how to get it to fold. Supposedly, there is some sort of release mechanism.

Just push back switch on center handle and turn handle simultaneously and fold!

There is a handle for when it is folded up but not when it is "set up". It is easy to move though without handle.

never tried since the handle and paddles are all folded so the wheels are hard to turn around. but why? you can fold it at the last minute before you have to carry it.

Does the handle fold into the lid so something can be put on top of this container, or is it big enough that you don't think you'd stack anything on it anyway?

Yep. Note: Be careful picking this unit up to move it. The handle is really not deep enough for your fingers and it falls from your hand easily. I just dropped mine this morning. Use two hands or make sure you have a good grip.

The handle's not really removeable, but it doesn't have to stand straight up, as in the picture; it will also lie flat in an indentation in the lid. One layer can definitely be used alone; I usually take just one when I'm traveling, and it keeps a pretty slim profile in my suitcase.

The lid lifts completely off. There is only a handle on one side as shown in photo. The other side does not have a handle.

I don't see how you can fold it without removing the handle/bar. It was tough to unfold out of the box. I suppose you could. Maybe with time, it gets easier to unfold. I had to use my body weight to unfold it.

The main lid yes you could do with one hand, but if you do the lid on the top (which is the small lid beside the mug in this picture and the one that makes it pure spill proof) then no. as that one screws on. Hope that helps

Yes, the handle has a button on the top that allows you to fold the handle in. This really makes it safe while cooking so it does not get bumped.

No, it cannot be folded down but I believe the handle can be removed easily enough for taking places.

The handle folds up under the blower nozzle. I haven't had any trouble folding and unfolding the handle. Tip: retract the cord before folding the handle.
