INSTACAN Higher Torque and One Touch Electric Jar Opener Easy Remove Almost Size Lid with Auto-Off, Powerful Bottle Opener for Arthritic Hands, Automatic Jar Opener for Weak Hands and Seniors (White)

I was skeptical at first, but willing to try this. I have trouble opening most jars due to pain. This tool delivered. It opened jars with ease & is a life saver in the kitchen, since I have no one to help open stubborn jars. It says it doesn't work on plastic jars, but I've actually opened a few with it. The price tag is a little high, but in my opinion worth it for the service it performs.

It is a genius tool to assist arthritic hands in removing lids. The size is perfect, and there was only the installation of batteries. My husband and I are wondering why it took so long to come up with this. Easy to use for seniors. Go and get yours. You will love the functionality.

Update 4-9-24: I am still a big fan of this jar opener but I promised to come back and note any issue that developed. I purchased this opener in July of '23 so I've had it 10 months and used it multiple times a week. The opener still works BUT I have to keep my finger pushing down on the "on button" on top of the opener until the lid pops open or it will stop tightening around the lid and open back up. When I first got it, I could push down on it and then let go and it completed the function of opening the jar. I'm not considering this a huge deal as it does effortlessly open the jar. As soon as the opener pops the lid open, I just let got and it releases the jar. This jar opener is amazing. I'm elderly, disabled, and have arthritis in my hands so needed help opening cans and jars. After finding the perfect battery operated can opener which I did a review on, I started looking for a jar opener. This battery operated electric jar opener is perfection. I literally just set the opener on top of the lid on ANY size jar and press the button. I gently hold the opener in place while it closes around the lid, let go and away we go. The opener tightens securely around the lid, starts turning and pop, the lid opens. Nothing could be easier. I am SO grateful I found this gadget. Everyone with hand issues should have one of these. I promise to come back and edit this review if I have any problems with this jar opener in the next year.

The latest... Well the first one didn't work at all. Then the replacement broke itself; when the outer arms grabbed the jar, they squeezed hard enough to break one arm off!! Returned it without problem. Not buying another. ------- Earlier comment... It does open jars but it is kind of wonky. Doesn't work as described. Details as follows: First one didn't work at all. Returned it for replacement. Second doesn't work as described but it does open the jars. 1. The booklet says "Scan QR for instructional movie" Instead, I get some guff about subscribing to a spam filter. 2 The booklet says "Reduce the outer jaws to the size of the can." Then the illustration shows to move the inner jaws. In any case, neither the outer nor inner jaws can be moved. 3. Pressing the green button sets the thing in operation, and it takes a while for the fully open jaws to close slowly to grip the jar lid first, and then the jar body. 4. But it does open the very tight jar lid, then returns both sets of jaws to the wide open/rest position. 5. But the sequence, running the motor all the time, takes so long that it makes me suspect it's a "battery eater." Only two AAs, but who doesn't make these things USB rechargeable these days? 6. Lastly, the guide book does read a little "Chinglish." That's not a problem, but why not have a native English speaker proof it before publication? Only a five minute job. So I suspect that reflects the quality of the product. We'll keep it for a couple of weeks, see how it goes.. . (IT DESTROYED ITSELF! )

Works very well. Love it!

I LOVE this jar opener. I was in a bad accident years ago and have severe pain in both my hands now. I am almost 62 years old and I don't normally write reviews unless it is a game changer and this is. I can no longer open any jars. I tried opening a jar of salsa one night to have chips and salsa but could not get it opened. I tried running the jar under hot water to loosen the seal. I tried it five times under hot water and still couldn't get it opened. I ordered a manual jar opener, and it was a JOKE. I couldn't even get the jar opener around the lid. My hands pain so bad; how do companies expect people to get the jar opener around the jar lid? I sent it back and got this ELECTRIC opener. I got the color red because it was cheaper than the other color and as long as it works, that's all I care about. This electric jar opener is a LIFESAVER! If you have problems opening jars like I do, I would highly recommend this opener. It is so EASY to use, if it wasn't I would have sent it back. If I did not order this jar opener, my jar of salsa would still be sitting on the counter unopened. This was the best buy, for $16.00 it is so worth saving my hands from pain. It runs on 2 AA battery's. I am so happy that I can now open jars without the assistance of someone else. You can't imagine how much better my life is now that I have this electric jar opener. One wouldn't think that an electric jar opener would make such a difference in ones life,but it sure did. I'm so glad I ordered this. When this one wears out, I'll buy another one!

Very inexpensive. Does exactly what it says. It will do. And it actually came on time! That is amazing in today’s Amazon environment! Seriously you will be very glad that you have this. It does work only with glass jars, but still definitely worth it.

The video demonstrating how to use the product was almost worthless. Just someone's hand placed over the jar opener in three separate photos. It made a DREADFUL sound and began to fall off the jar, so I placed my hand on it to prevent that. It made more DREADFUL sounds and then the grippers began to return to their normal position. I removed it from the position over the jar, and the lid lifted right up. I have no idea how it accomplished that. I did not observe anything that looked like a lid being turned around. Definitely, you want to keep your hand on the lid. Even so, it sounds like a horror film where all the kitchen appliances suddenly begin working on their own!

working great

It’s easy to use. You have to get it centred over the lid or it topples off as it twists to open it. So much better than running hot water over the Lid using hand held grippers etc.

Has done an excellent job so far. Takes a bit of time but now no problem getting my jars open. Good item to have in the kitchen for any person with hand problems.

Fantastic product.

My main purpose was to open pasta sauce jars with this device. Unfortunately, this product may only open wide-mouth mason jars or large jars. Before purchasing this product, investigate the diameter parameters and the jar sizes you want to open. This product did not meet my needs.
