Product Review


With the Lids Off jar opener, Black & Decker has simplified the opening of jars to a no-strain, one-hand operation. Electrically powered, the Lids Off cradles a jar on its lower turntable then grips its lid when you lower the upper housing. Push the large power button, and voila!the lid is twisted free. Designed for use on metal or plastic lids, the opener makes a handy tool for anyone and can be especially helpful for those with weak hands or arthritis. The unit accommodates a wide range of jars, from baby food to spaghetti sauce, anything up to 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 8 inches high. It is not intended, however, for the very narrow necks of beer bottles or tall jars of juice. Measuring 8-1/2 by 7-3/4 by 10 inches, the Lids Off is collapsible for space-efficiency and comes with built-in power cord storage.

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...Read more

There is hardly a jar this won't open and easily. I have arthritis in my hands and used to ask my husband to open everything. Now I just put it in this jar opener and in seconds the jar is open. No jar is too tough.

This review is from: Black & Decker Lids Off Jar Opener JW200BM
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.
