Hm... that's a different model than the one we used-- the one we used was
a rather old version of this:

However, I can't help wondering if the plunge-style one might be easier to
operate than the crank for us "Women [and Men] of Size", since we can put
our body English into it. The crank on the one we were using was a little
hard to turn-- but I have to admit that, both times I used a Kitchenaid--
and at least one was one that WASN'T held together with duct tape-- I put
more muscle into pushing the sausage into the little hopper on top than I
did cranking the older hand-cranked one!
