Single Handed Tipsi Tray - Easy to Use Serving Tray, Premium Carry Tray Platter for Food and Drink. Perfect at Home, On Stairs and Opening Doors. (14 Inch Diameter) (1.5kg)

My home office is upstairs, down the end of a long hallway. Using this tray to carry multiple items, including drinks, soups etc upstairs is made with ease, with this tray.It is very well made and has some weight to it, but I'm still amazed every time I use it at how much movement it gets and yet the drinks and other liquids stay put.If you are often having to carry liquids upstairs, then I would recommend this tray.

The media could not be loaded. Edit: having now tried one of the alternative plastic trays I'm shocked by how awkward they are and how much easier the Tipsi Tray is. It so much easier and more comfortable to hold and balance, even with the extra weight. And somehow the thin metal handle is more comfortable to hold.I found with the plastic tray that it mattered a lot where things were placed on the tray and that it was really awkward to hold it flat and required keeping my wrist at an odd angle.With the Tipsi Tray I feel more confident just placing things down randomly and I'm able to confidently hold the tray by my side, move it around etc. I don't have to put extra focus into holding it so things don't fall off, which I found I was having to do with the plastic one.I'll be continuing with the Tipsi Tray and I'm sure I'll get used to the limitations/ awkwardness with the handle etc. It might not be perfect for my needs/ wants, but it's apparently the better option still.-----------I am reviewing this as a disability aid rather than a serving tray. I don't think it's going to work for me. But I do think it could work for other people, especially with limited alternatives being available.It does work. It carries things. You only need one hand. It is easier to balance than a standard 2 handed tray. The surface seems reasonably non- slip. Being round I also found it was quite easy to move between hands, in front or to the side etc. You can really tell it was designed for serves navigating through a potentially crowded restaurant.But there are some potential downsides that mean it doesn't really work well for me and might not work well for others.It's heavy. Understandable since it's made of heavier duty materials like metal. But that extra weight could make a big difference. I find it usable, but for anybody who struggles with something like a 2l bottle of drink I think it could be problematic.The handle is just the bent metal. That's usable for me at the moment, but I expect it could be awkward for some people or make hand pain worse since there's more pressure in specific areas.The tray is not fixed. I'm sure this actually helps with balance if anything since it has a bit of room to level itself without it feeling unstable when you are carrying it. But it also means it needs to be put onto a solid, flat surface which may limit usability. Like I had difficulty placing it on my bed to move things from it to my bedside table. And you can't really perch it on something to adjust your grip.Most significantly for me, the handle slides out every time you put it down. This makes it really impractical for me since I will often need to perch trays to adjust my grip and with the handle sliding out every time I'm sure it will end in disaster soon enough. I have considered just taping over the opening so it doesn't slide out, but I'm not sure how well that would last and it's not the only thing I find inconvenient about it.But with that said there's a real limit to options when it comes to one handed trays and the main other option is those plastic ones which appear to be quite flimsy and also more fiddly to set up. So I can definitely see this being the better option for somebody who can manage more weight, is okay with the handle coming out and the tray being free moving etc. I'm definitely sure it will last longer than those plastic ones.The sliding handle part is also angled so although I find it problematic when putting the tray down I don't feel like it's at all unstable when carrying it.All in all it's not the right choice for me at the moment, but I would suggest other people give it a try if they think they would be okay with those "downsides".And with my limited knowledge or serving I'd definitely recommend it for that. The tray is fully removable. The handle comes off easily. It's really easy to move around while carrying. There's not faff. You just place the tray down on the circle and slide the handle in. It can all be done quickly and with one hand. The handle is also tall enough for it to be able to carry tall glasses.

It was well packaged I am generally very pleased with the product but Iwas disappointed to find the underneath of the tray was grubby and dented it looked secondhand.

Handle rusted, smelled musty. Seemed like old stock.

Both myself and my husband struggle with stairs and out lounge is on a different floor to the kitchen, this tray has change bringing up a simple cup of tea from a nightmare with spills and scolds to an easy comfortable several cups at once please love it

This is a well made quality item and does indeed allow you to carry items with one hand, BUT only if you have very strong hands/wrists as it is very heavy for it's size. I am in my early 60s and consider myself strong as I swim, garden and exercise on a regular basis but even I struggled to hold with more than 1 cup so It was therefore not suitable for the person it was purchased for.

The. Product was too heavy for me personally to use and transfer I am elderly and have weak wrists ,I was disappointed .

After being on holiday and using a Greek coffee tray this was the closest I could find, really like being able to use it with one hand not like a traditional tray
