Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of One Touch Jar Opener
Customer Review: Jar Jammer
Summary: 4 Stars
With the massive success that One Touch had made with the definitive can opener, they really cornered the market on how to make great products that make our lives a bit easier to master in the kitchen. After the way of keeping cans under control, many have wanted to find a might easier way to open jars, without splattering all the things from the jar apilling all over you or the floor. It is easy to setup, with a pair of AA batteries installed, and you can easily open jars with a push of the button. While it does the job well at openeing jars well, like the One Touch Can opener, it wastes a lot of energy after a few uses, and you'd constantly have to change the batteries. Still, One Touch Jar Opener does a much batter job at getting the jars open than those other more expensive jar openers from Black & Decker or others. I really recommend the One Touch Jar Opener as a great buy for your household.

Customer Review: Poor design
Summary: 1 Stars
One Touch Jar OpenerGot this product as a Christmas gift. Thought it would be helpful since I have arthritis. I used it around six times before the sliding gears broke. Poor design for the part of the appliance that has the most stress. Would not recommend this product.Customer Review: Automatic jar-opener, A must for anyone with painful wrists!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this for an older woman with very painful osteoarthritis. I am so happy that she no longer has pain opening jars. She is very happy to have this opener!
One negative: The item could be improved by enabling someone to open any sized jar. As it is, this is a substantial negative. Hope they fix that.
Update: March 3009: It still looks and acts as new. It has become a fixture in this lady's kitchen & she uses it everyday-it's that easy to use. Put the jar on the counter, stick the gadget on it and let 'er go. No problems!
This is used often to open those Ensure bottles which can bring someone to tears trying to open them. I never cease to wonder how a product for a weakened, ill, or elderly individual who is trying to get stronger with good nutrition could be so hard to open. It's downright mean! Mercifully, for every problem there is usually a solution. This is a good & affordable solution to help someone who lives alone get the nutrition they need!
Update: About a year later, this has become an indispensable kitchen tool, replacing all the other so-called jar openers. The recipient comment: "When I first saw this, I thought, oh-another gadget-but it is really terrific and probably my most helpful thing in the kitchen".
The tool still looks brand new, is lightweight, and is extraordinarily helpful. It is used most often to open those nutritional/caloric supplements-a must for an older person or finicky eater!
Customer Review: Pickle Jars of the World, Beware!
Summary: 5 Stars
After 45 years of relying on my husband to open jars, I am no longer a tight-lid codependent. ONE TOUCH JAR OPENER works on big and wide pickle jars, mid-sized jars of apple sauce, slim jars of salsa, and any other jars I need to open.
Do not be put off by criticism of the opener's "slowness," for its careful operating speed is a safety feature. The cushioned outer jaws clamp slowly and softly onto the jar, so the glass is in no danger of breaking. The similarly cushioned inner jaws likewise clamp gently onto the lid, leaving it free of dents or bends, and thus usable for recapping the opened jar.
For less than $20, treat yourself to this enabling device. And if you have any senior and/or manually challenged friends or relatives, enable them, too.
Customer Review: Worked great until it broke
Summary: 1 Stars
At first the One Touch Jar Opener worked great opening jars. Then the fourth time I used my One Touch Jar Opener the slidding gears broke. Upon breaking the seal the gear snapped. I am really hoping that I just had one with defective parts and could somehow find replacements for it.
