How smooth is the lifting motion? I want to use it for an open container liquid product.

It's pretty smooth, but I would not recommend it for liquid. Forget the lift part if you were to push the pedal at a strange angle or with slightly too much force the liquid would probably spill.

The lifting motion is very smooth; I don't think the lift would induce any sloshing motion if that's is your concern.

First of all, the pedal that lifts the table was missing in our shipment. We found a piece of pipe that works in it's place.As far as the smoothness of the lifting motion, it goes up incrementally, with each pump of the "pedal" (pipe). In other words, it's not a one pump lift, its more like a car lift. If you pump it up very slowly, your liquid may not spill but, I would recommend a lid for your liquids or a table with a motorized lift.

It's pretty smooth, but you do pump it up incrementally. If you went slowly and carefully I think you'd be alright.

would not recommend this for weights more than 150 lbs stability with large weights a bit dangerous.

i do not believe it will move very easily. also this will increase the chance of the riser collapsing. i personally do not advise this.

It flips open easily. It is not loose, so it doesn't flap around but at the same time it's not so hard to open that it takes pressure to lift up. It's more like gentle click. However, the opening is not very big.

This machine has a teeter-toddler motion side to side so it's not a jerky motion. It can also be set up with a vibration motion. I'm not a Dr but it is good for my joints and back. I think if you use it on the lower settings you would like it.

When I tested it out, I don't remember the pan base having that much friction. Part of that is because even with a fluid head, when you are turning a 4ft jib, the leverage is a lot more than if you were just turning a camera on it. I would say that the smoothness will mostly be based on how steady your hand is and how balanced you have it.

The cart is very light, but durable (I can lift it easily with one finger). I purchased one for my mother to use as a laundry cart, and I now own two. I keep one in each car and use it to haul groceries into my apartment. My oldest cart is 3 years old and it is still in great shape. A++ on this product.

Absolutely not, it manages very easily and fast! An up and down motion is all you need to get everything whipped up quickly! You will love this!

Not at all. We use it with drinks sitting on the tray and it glides with no problem.

The head is moderately stiff but it moves smoothly, both pan and tilt, as long as you have a little muscle behind it. It would probably be a little jerky if you were trying to move it with your little finger. It's definitely not going to drift when you're not pushing it.

Kind of a mute point. I love the table, but I don't use the lift top feature. It is unsteady and unreliable in this regard. I just keep the table as a flat surface. Have even planned to bolt the lift part from underneath to keep fingers from getting squished. The table is beautiful, though, and I am glad to have it.

Good luck; not too fluid motion. Built like a tank though, and worth the shot. I'd give it a try. Buy one and hit it with some wd-40.

It's a good weight without being too heavy to lift. I love it and use it often when I'm making a large amount of spaghetti sauce to can.

Yes, you can essentially pick it up and slide it around where you need. The little rubber stoppers don't provide that much friction. I move mine once a week because the entire unit is under a cabinet and I can't refill the water without sliding the unit forward.

It's reasonably maneuverable. Not THAT heavy. I pull it instead of pushing.

I wouldn't. It may turn with "just a touch", if your touch is heavy. But it doesn't glide, and if you find yourself forcing it, the bottles may tip.

It was a gift so I'm not sure. If i had to guess I would say smooth but I tried it out and my laptop didn't slide. But it's heavy. Sorry...it's been a long time since i bought it.

Its smooth, it goes through a mesh tray before it is collected. The only exception I notice was with heavy dark greens, they have a denser juice that is a thicker consistency as a result of the chlorophyll. Nothing to worry about though, I totally recommend it. I use it everyday!!!
