The handle to hold is a little short in comparison for the length of the unit. The plastic housing is slippery while holding you basically need two hands to really get a good grip. Do not recommend for the elderly nor users with hand/wrist/finger challenges nor arthritis. Just my personal opinion. I am 5'2" n 63 years old and it was a challenge using it. My hands and wrist got tired fast. Maybe I need to hit the gym!
