Black & Decker Lids Off Jar Opener Jw275

I have arthritis in my thumb joints. This makes opening jar lids painfull and/or nearly impossible. This very handy little opener has never failed to open any lid within a matter of seconds. Easy to use. Attractive design- looks good on my kitchen counter. I love mine so much that I'm buying one for my mother, and also one for my best friend.

The first jar I tried to open was too large to fit between the bottom jaws.

Therein lies the rub ... a lot of jars I'd want help opening are either too big around or to tall to fit this appliance.

The One-Touch seems better, but the reason I bought this is because mine broke off one of the jaws opening a jar. So, a tougher One Touch jar opener would be best (if they ever make one).

I purchased this product for my 85-yr old mother-in-law who was having trouble removing the lids off of jars. Since purchasing this item, she has expressed her appreciation in making her life a lot easier. It is easy to use and adjusts quickly to any size jar. I was not sure if the item was electrical because I did not see that information printed anywhere in the description. But rest assured that it is an electrical item, no batteries needed just an electrical outlet.
