Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker JW200 Lids Off Jar Opener, White
Customer Review: Fantastic product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great, useful product for a senior citizen or anyone with limited hand/arm strength. My mom would always have a couple of jars lined up for me to open whenever I visited and was somewhat chagrined at having to ask. Unless you commonly buy giant economy sizes, it will probably handle most of the jars in your pantry (it easily accommodated a tall pickle jar and a 32-oz mayonnaise; those were the largest we had on hand).Customer Review: for the elderly, or those with arthritis, a must
Summary: 4 Stars
This is one of those items that is needed for those with arthritis or for the elderly---it makes opening jar lids simple, once you can figure out how to make it work! That is the one flaw in the item: the directions are not as easy to follow as the item's operating procedures. So, someone needs to show the recipient how to operate this handy item; but once you know how to work it, it's a great device for the kitchen.Customer Review: Opens easy jars
Summary: 1 Stars
I was interested in trying this product as a gift for someone with arthritis. I tried it on a peanut butter jar with a serrated lid (which it opened easily) and on a pickle jar (which it couldn't open at all!) What good is a jar opener that won't open a pickle jar? For about $4 you can buy a "jar pop" from an Amazon vendor or your local kitchen store. It works better and stores easily in your silverware drawer.Customer Review: Handy opener
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a device you will wonder how you got along without it.. It opens most jars easily. Once and a while there will be a jar it has to struggle to open. When you hear a popping sound the gears are jumping. Just push the switch on and off until the jar opens.
My wife loves it. Now she can open jars without me around. I hate having to beat on a lid with a knife until it opens..
Customer Review: One wonderful! but one broken
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought TWO- ours works great on just about anything- (even if it just loosens the lid on some really tight sodas- then they're easy to open).
We bought the other one as a present, touting its praises, and were embarrassed when the motor didn't even turn on at all- had to return it for a new one. Unusual for Black & Decker, which are usually very good quality.
