Black & Decker Lids Off Jar Opener JW200BM

I purchased this opener for my wife, whom even in our youth had trouble with jars. I, being the big, tough guy did not need such a product. I however have found that I am using it for opening jars every time. My arthritis would cause me some pain when I opened jars, so I have resorted to using this. It is so easy and painless!

It can sit on the counter for easy access. The power cord is real short, so you don't have any dangling to get in the way. It can normally sit in the collapsed state, where the top sits on the lower chrome sides. To use it, you press the release with your thumb and lift the top up. It catches in the open position. The tray that the jar sits on pivots. If it is pivoted all the way to the left, the grippers for the jar are in the maximum open position. You slide the jar onto the middle of the tray and pivot the tray to the right. The grippers close in around the jar. You then press the release and let the top come down on the lid. Finally, you press the on button with your thumb and it rotates the lid while the fingers hold the jar.

Pluses:

* It can easily be a one-handed operation.

* It is powerful enough to open the toughest jars. I had a jar of jelly out of the `fridge where the lid was glued on with the crusted jelly. It opened it with barley a groan.

* It is very easy to use.

Minuses:

* The size of the jar that can fit in the unit is rather limited. Any `family size' jars probably won't fit. And definitely forget the Costco size jars. This is the only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars. I cannot see how it could take any larger jar without making a unit that had to sit on the floor, so I guess this may be an unfair criticism.

I got so tired of having to ask my husband to open a jar for me. I started looking on the internet for a product that could open jars. The Black & Decker Lid Off products are terrific. I use mine almost everyday and absolutely love it! I haven't had to get someone to help me open a jar in over a year. I would recommend buying the JW400. It also has the can opener attachment so you can replace your can opener with the Lid Off.
