Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker Lids Off Jar OpenerCustomer Review: Bulky but helpful Summary: 3 Stars
I had been considering one of these but wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much. Then I found one in a thrift store a few months ago. Since it was marked as 'working', decided to take a chance. It is bulky so if space is a problem you probably won't be happy. It seems to work okay on the range of jars I use but it does have a height limitation. And I can see where odd shapes might not work.
For the 5 bucks I spent it has been helpful as I have serious arthritis. I am not sure I would spend more.
Customer Review: A Blackmark for Black&Decker Summary: 2 Stars
Very disappointing. Great concept, Poor execution.
I've had one for <3 years, and have not needed to use it much in that time (thankfully), but it is totally inoperative as of today. The motorized lid gripper has stopped moving-in to grab the jar top ...so now it just revolves making a promising but unfulfilling torque-y electric motor noise.
It was great for about my first month, then it became a major pain-in-the-rear when the adjustable grips in the base stopped moving-in to fit automatically and to size it manually took substantial effort. Got even worse when the glued-on rubber on the grippers came off.
Sadly the Black & Decker name is no longer synonymous with quality, like I used to think it was.
Customer Review: Very poor, don't buy this. Summary: 1 Stars
I assumed with the Black and Decker reputation that this would be a nice addition to my kitchen. It was good for about four uses, then it failed to work after this.
