I have different heat presses and I’ve never been physically able to use them myself. I have a disability which keeps me from using them. 
The auto press doesn’t take physical strength to use it. It’s just using a couple fingers to get it to work. 
I would definitely recommend this auto press to anyone regardless of their physical abilities. Now I can make a gift for the people in my life without them seeing beforehand because I don’t need their help to press it.
