Who it helps

This may help people with weak grip, arthritis or limited hand strength; and people who want everyday tasks to take less effort.

Check before buying

Dishwasher safe. Pair it with a non-slip mat under the plate so it doesn't slide.
Check size and handle shape against what you can comfortably hold and use.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

It makes a task easier but won't suit every body or every home; what works for one person may not work for another.
