Product Description

Hamilton Beach OpenEase Automatic Jar Opener - 76800

Sometimes a lid is so stuck, no amount of muscle or willpower will loosen it. Tapping, prying, rubber grips � sometimes nothing works! Until now. The OpenEase Automatic Jar Opener makes opening jars amazingly simple, and it can open a wide variety of jars from small to large and every size in-between.

Why is it that when a lid refuses to budge, it's often at the worst time?

The press of a button activates its powerful twisting action, tightening around the lid and loosening it. It's that simple! Press again to release the lid. When it's time to put it away, the OpenEase Jar Opener is compact enough to fit in a drawer, so it's always ready when you need it most.

PRODUCT USES
Effortless Opening

The OpenEase Automatic Jar Opener was designed for everyone who opens jars regularly or on occasion, and it's especially helpful for those with limited hand strength or arthritis. OpenEase is the one tool no kitchen should be without because it solves a problem that frustrates everyone from time to time.

How To Use

Simply place the jar opener on top of the jar and press the "Open Jar" button. The outer arms grip the jar while the inner arms close tightly around the lid and rotate, loosening the lid effortlessly. It's that simple! Press the "Release Lid" button and the arms let go of the lid and jar. The jar opener will turn off automatically; no off button is needed. If stored in the most compact position, press "Release Lid" first to open arms wide enough to place over jar lid. Then press "Open Jar" to tighten arms around jar and open lid.

Designed By Consumers For Consumers

At Hamilton Beach, every appliance has to perform well for consumers before it ever makes it onto the shelf. As we design products, we seek out honest feedback and opinions from a variety of sources. Now that's Good Thinking.

For the OpenEase Jar Opener, we focused on handgrip, comfort, and control. We talked to The Arthritis Institute and interviewed people with dexterity issues and arthritis. As we sought their feedback about the jar opener, we left no stone unturned. How does it feel in your hand? Which location do you prefer for the buttons? How does it feel when you press them? Once we were clear about consumers' needs, we knew we had a product that would make their lives easier.

About Arthritis*

Did you know that arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the United States? Approximately 50 million Americans live with arthritis. That makes even the simplest tasks � like opening jars � a daily struggle. * Source: 2007-2009 National Health Interview Survey (conducted by National Center for Health Statistics).

Tips & Care

Do not use with plastic jars. Jar opener is intended only for glass jars with screw-on lids. Be sure the outer arms of the jar opener fit securely on jar to prevent slipping. The jar opener will turn off automatically when the arms reach the outermost or innermost position. For tapered jars, place hand on top of jar opener to hold firmly in place to ensure that the arms do not slip on the jar.

For more compact storage, press the "Open Jar" button to reset the arms to the innermost position. To replace batteries, press and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow. After replacing batteries, slide the cover closed in the opposite direction of the arrow. The jar opener may start running when the batteries are installed. This is normal.

Customers are dissatisfied with the efficiency of the kitchen product. They mention that it's a little slow to work on some jars, it'll be loud and it takes a while for the battery-operated grippers to get in place on the jar.

Customers are dissatisfied with the grip on the canning jar opener. They say that it stopped gripping the jars, the grippers would come off, and the bottle clamp tends to slide off of angled tops. The rubber gripper will slip and disengage the unit. It does not grab on to lids and is not reliable. The grippers seem to need a little push to get pulled in to the right size.

"...Please do not buy this product. It is not reliable & will fall off the top of the jar because it can't take the strong hold that vacuum sealed items..." Read more

"...The whole jar went flying and I lost half of the juice and about a dozen olives (like I said, it was a big jar). I thought it was hilarious...." Read more

"...it falls off the jar (after opening a lid) then it might easily land on a hard surface and break. But it definitely works." Read more

"...it simply fell off the jar...." Read more

Works slowly, but gtreat, them rubber grips broke apart

Works slowly, but gtreat, them rubber grips broke apart
This work slowly, but was great. I took it to a Fourth of July picnic where it was used by many other older women (I am 76). It was used to open pickle jars, salsa jars and sauerkraut jars. Weather was hot, but this was not left in the sun. I didn't use it much since then, went on vacation, but when I returned, the opener kept slipping off the jar. I, at first, thought it was my fault, but a week later I decided to examine the opener and just saw the damaged inside grips. See pictures. Luckily I have a few days left to return it. My friend has a large expensive model that was given to her as a present, but she still has strong hands, and she said she would give me her jar opener.
