Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International 6-In-1 Multi Opener
Customer Review: Much better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
Edit 08 Dec 09:
Still give 4 stars, although I have noticed that (as originally suspected) the large jar opener side doesn't work ideally. I have small, very wide jar of honey which this opener has not helped with at all. I think if the "handle" (small side of the opener) was a bit longer, it would be okay, but because the jar is so wide, the handle is too small to provide any assistance. It still works wonderfully for opening jars up to aprox 2 inches diameter. It doesn't seem to matter if the top is metal or plastic, or if the jar/bottle is glass or plastic--as long as it isn't too wide or too small (for example, my jar of honey, probably large jars of pickles, or bottles of vanilla extract) this will open them easily.
Original Review 15 June 2009:
I admit, I didn't have high hopes for this. But I figured it would be worth trying because I've tried so many other jar openers that haven't done the job. Best "might as well" I've gotten in a long time!
It's a very sturdy bottle opener; I don't feel like I'm going to break it when I'm trying to pry off a very tight bottlecap. The gripper holds tight to plastic covers with a very little edge (like containers of Parmesan or other cheese.) The best part is the part I had the lowest expectations for, the large jar opener. It unscrews the lids from jars of Classico pasta sauce with hardly any effort at all! Just a little squeeze and twist and pop, it's open. As a reference, those jar lids give me more trouble than any others; before this opener I would run one under hot water, use multiple types of grips (plastic gloves, the flat grippers, silicone pot holders to name a few), have to take several breaks to shake out the cramps in my hands, curse a bit (shh, I only curse when no one else is around to hear me!), and finally get it to budge after a great deal of frustration and pain. I'd usually start trying to open the jar at the same time I'd put the water on to boil, since it would usually take as long to open as it would take the water to heat.
As I said, I've tried a lot of other jar openers and the only one that's come close in terms of ease of use and effort expended is the one we had growing up, which had been my grandmother's. I'd been searching for one like that (it was metal and finally rusted and broke a few years ago) with no luck. I haven't even seen anything similar. I finally figured something would be better than nothing until I could find one like that, and since this one was multipurpose, it seemed like it would be the least waste of money if it didn't work for the jars. But I'm done searching, since this is actually better than my grandmother's was!
