Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker JW200 Lids Off Jar Opener, White
Customer Review: This thing actually works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I was a little skeptical, but I've been very impressed so far with this jar opener. I have osteoarthritis in both hands, and opening jars has gotten more and more difficult as time goes on. I have strong hands from decades of piano playing, but it has been getting more and more painful to do little things (opening jars, writing, etc.). Enter this Black & Decker jar opener. It has opened every jar I've tried so far: pickles, jam, salsa, cocktail sauce, freeze-dried nuts, and more. It has a fairly hefty "footprint," so I keep mine in the pantry until I need it. It sets up in 5 seconds, so that's not a huge deal.
I chose the white color to match my kitchen, and it's reasonably attractive, although a little "clunky." Still, it WORKS, and that's more important to me than how it looks.
Customer Review: what a marvel

Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this little bottle opener and immediately felt my mom struggling (and hurting) to open a bottle or waiting for someone to arrive (I live 2 1/2 hours away). But she has a small kitchen, and hates getting "things" that will fill up any space she does have. Well her birthday isn't for 8 more months, but 8 months is a lot of struggles. I ordered it along with some other merchandise but had it shiped directly to her. This was supposed to be delivered in early May. Last week she called me at work to say thanks! She loves it and it really works on old tough lids.
Thanks
Customer Review: Ingenious! Great for those whose hand strength has weakened!

The opener really does work!!! I bought this for my mother-in-law who has never regained proper use of her hand after surgery for carpal tunnel. She loves it. She can now open jars on "her own" without asking for help. I also bought one for my grandparents. They said they are able to buy certain jar foods again now that they can open them. It's nice to have a product that does what it says. Although, you need to watch the size jar you use. It doesn't allow for really wide or really tall jars. I recommend this product if you or anyone you know has a hard time opening jars!Customer Review: Dad Loves This Gadget
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Black & Decker Lids Off Jar Opener for my jar-challenged 83-year-old dad. After he saw a similar item advertised on TV he asked if we could find one for him. It arrived at his house a few days after I ordered it from Amazon. He was able to get it open and set up himself, and has experienced no problems with it. He's extremely happy with the product, thinks it a great machine, and says everyone should have one in their kitchen. Though he has a very small condo kitchen, he says it's well worth the counter real estate it takes up.
