Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Jar Opener
Customer Review: It Does the Job For Me!
Summary: 4 Stars
Contrary to what others have said, I love this product! It opens every jar easily and effortlessly for me. I haven't experienced any problems with sharpness in metal lids, not has my OXO "Good Grips" jar opener fallen apart. In fact I debated giving it a 5-star rating. I see nothing than could be improved, except that it takes up a good deal of room in the drawer when not in use. For my money, it works exactly as it should and I'd recommend the product without any of the reservations expressed by other reviewers.Customer Review: A vast improvement over those rubber pads!
Summary: 4 Stars
This jar opener was one of my favorite gifts from my bridal shower! I was sick of using those rubber pads; not only did they tear easily, but also they didn't work very well. So far, OXO's version has been a big improvement: the little metal grips easily take hold of most lids, and with a simple twist, the lid is off cleanly and neatly. I have found that the unit can sometimes slip, especially with a very small lid, but if you use it carefully and on a firm surface, you should have mostly success, as I have.Customer Review: Works as well as any other I've tried
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't found a jar opener that works better than this one, even though it isn't perfect. The lever action works much better than the kind that require you to grip the jar lid and turn, but the "teeth" will occasionally slip and scratch the jar lids.Works really well on plastic lids.
Customer Review: Allows me to open many jars that I couldn't before!
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product. Anything that helps me do something I couldn't before... makes my life so much easier. Ability! I left the red label on it to help me spot it quickly on the utensil rack. Great gadget, easy grip, and...Now, I can do it myself (most of the time, my weakness not the products)!
Customer Review: Works pretty well, but not durable
Summary: 3 Stars
I just busted my second OXO Jar Opener. The first one lasted a few months, the second one a couple of years. Once the plastic holding the teeth down cracks, it's all over. The metal teeth sometimes slip off jar lids violently, but I didn't have any mishaps. Before it broke, it was easy to use, opening most jars for me, except some of the widest mouthed ones. I have a really weak grip, so I used it frequently. I think this is a good jar opener, but not a great one. It won't last forever, but it stores easily in a drawer. Good, but I'm moving on to another model, or another manufacturer.
