Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of One Touch Automatic Jar Opener
Customer Review: RA
Summary: 4 Stars
Having extreme RA, such kitchen appliances as the can opener and the jar opener is overall tremendous. I am glad that I found this site. I am working part time (under 20 hours wkly), so I am saving for the bottle opener and/or knife appliance. Thank you.
Customer Review: Overall good

I bought this product for my mom. She has some decreased hand strength. She had a really hard time opening the battery compartment and inserting the batteries. Other than that she likes it and finds it very helpful.Customer Review: mixed feelings
Summary: 3 Stars
1) the battery cover was REALLY poorly designed. it's hard to open the cover and place back. the two AA batteries go in harder than one would expect. one battery comes out easily, but the other one is *really* difficult to remove. this product was meant for people with finger/hand arthritis, exactly the type of people who are going to have trouble with this battery system. it's possible someone will have to change the batteries for the end-user, depending on the finger strength and dexterity of the end-user. wow, not the kind of issue you ever expect when you buy a product in the 21st century...
2) it's fairly (but not very) strong and it opens the majority of jars well, albeit slowly. it's not so strong that it can open jars that an average healthy young person with a decent grip can't. it just slips off. this device is meant for people with *very* weak grips to help them open non-stuck or "kind of stuck" jars, where it could be a big help. it won't help a person too much if they have mild arthritis and are only unable to open the really tough jars.
3) "one touch" is more like a somewhat prolonged push. once you get used to it, no big deal.
Customer Review: Fairly good but eats batteries

Summary: 1 Stars
As a "Family" Christmas present, we bought the "one Touch Jar Opener" and the "One Touch Can Opener.. We used the jar opener a few times and it worked ok. No Problems.
Then on about the fourth time we used it, the darn thing broke. Parts literally snapped off. Since it was an inexpensive item, rather than go thru the hassle of returning it I just went to Wal-Mart and bought another.
I looked it over, everything seems OK. What do I know, I wasn't in China when it was made. And,this time, I am going to watch it very carefully. I will put it on a jar that should open relatively easy. It buckeled and snapped and a part broke off. Didn't open the jar at all. Didn't even loosed it. So I opened it with my hands. It was stiff, but the whole idea is to have a tool to do those chores for me.
Piece of JUNK
However, the "One Touch Can Opener" has been working faithfully for two years. We use it on a daily basis. During baking season we use it 10-15 times a day and no problem.
