(More customer reviews)When my mom asked me to install a manual jar opener, I mentioned a manual one would not be that helpful to her and suggested we look for an electric. As a lifetime member of The Church of Appliantology, I naturally was leaning toward the powerful and intimidating countertop Black & Decker model, but due to counter space limitations we agreed to try this little battery unit first. I was seriously skeptical, but after a few test runs I was sold. For what it does for the price, five stars.
This vid was all I had time to shoot, and only on one jar. You can see it is a little slow, but relentless. The battery cover is indeed odd, but once you've done it it's no big deal- the batteries slide in slightly angled instead of parallel, maybe that's what confused folks. I doubt this opener will see daily use, so it would be difficult to gather any long-term reliability or battery life info, but after a short period with this device I am tempted to pick one up specifically for that purpose. Plus, it works well, is fun to watch, and I am discovering as I age it seems that they are indeed putting on the lids a lot tighter!
UPDATE 02-16-10: After two years of continuous service, I regret to inform my readers the opener finally broke- the rack assembly that is part of the gripper arm snapped. Impossible to repair, but for the original price, I think that's a pretty good lifespan.
