As Advertised Oct 29, 2008
By palealien
"I'm not bad, I 'm just drawn that way"
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RW0ZMC0NQ8ZHE When my mom asked me to install a manual jar opener, I mentioned a manual one would not be that helpful to her and suggested we look for an electric. As a lifetime member of The Church of Appliantology, I naturally was leaning toward the powerful and intimidating countertop Black & Decker model, but due to counter space limitations we agreed to try this little battery unit first. I was seriously skeptical, but after a few test runs I was sold. For what it does for the price, five stars.
This vid was all I had time to shoot, and only on one jar. You can see it is a little slow, but relentless. The battery cover is indeed odd, but once you've done it it's no big deal- the batteries slide in slightly angled instead of parallel, maybe that's what confused folks. I doubt this opener will see daily use, so it would be difficult to gather any long-term reliability or battery life info, but after a short period with this device I am tempted to pick one up specifically for that purpose. Plus, it works well, is fun to watch, and I am discovering as I age it seems that they are indeed putting on the lids a lot tighter!

Does Not Last Past a Year Dec 08, 2008
By kbarista
"Ray"
I purchased this product in January 2008. By December (with limited use), it broke while opening an ordinary canning jar. The plastic is too thin. I called customer service. The warrantee is for 6 months. Good marketing, but bad choice for the consumer.

PICKLE JARS NO LONGER GEEZER-PROOF! Apr 02, 2008
By James M. Logan
"The Big Dawg"
For the past several years I have noticed opening new jars of pickles, jam, jelly--anything--kept getting more and more difficult. Then my wife and I saw this gadget on television, and I knew we needed to get one. Well, time slips away when you're not looking, but finally we got one, and jars in our house are no longer geezer-proof (I can say that, I am one). It works great, so great that I wanted to open every new jar in the house, but my wife said if I did I would have to go to bed without supper. But I've got to tell you, this appliance is a great addition to our kitchen. Thank you, Amazon.com!
