One Touch Jar Opener

Feedback About This Post:

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

Having worked with people with disabilities, the jar opener is a godsend to many of them. I bought one for my girlfriend who has advanced arthritis in her hands and she loves it. Unfortunately, the mechanism broke exactly as in the picture posted by William Bright. Having worked also as an engineering assistant. I have one question? Why didn't the engineer who designed the "plastic" teeth specify that the teeth be designed with some type of structural metal that could with-stand the pressure of tooth to gear ratio? My daughter could do a better job in it's design than whoever designed the specifications for this product and she's an accountant. Don't eliminate the product, improve it's modification!

The jar opener worked like a charm for 3 months. Then the plastic mechanism broke.

Yes I bought one and thought it good. Until like William, the plastic mechanism broke!

Don't buy one broke on second use. One Touch Jar Opener. $20.00 dollars wasted. Going to try a black & Decker Jar opener.

I purchased one, it works but does not stop. I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement. It works but it does not stop until it finishes it's full cycle. A waste of batteries. I am going to return both, ask for a refund and lick my wounds paying the shipping. It could be made into a
terrific tool.

A group called LabGeeks tested to see how strong the product was by super gluing the lid of a jar. It appears to work pretty good.

Thought it was the best invention in years. Trying to open a jar of Del Monte peaches, the lid opener broke, and flew off. How shocking! You should know what happens. Would be glad to send you the broken piece. Personally, I think you should replace it at no cost. But you don't seem to have an address.

Editor's Note: You should contact the company directly. Here is a link to their customer service page.

I bought one and the second bottle I tried to open with it, it broke. A piece of junk in my opinion and a waste of money.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I used it about 10 times and was thrilled. Then, tonight while trying to open a jar of spaghetti sauce it broke in the same manner described by others. I am very disappointed, since it is still new.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

The biggest, cheapest piece of garbage I've seen lately. Used it 4 times before it broke trying to open a jar of beets. Rude doesn't begin to describe the customer support people that answer the phone for the entity that is supposed to be the US Distributor.

The product is a piece of junk and the customer service people might as well be spare parts!

It's a lot saver because it makes the lid's edge smooth so you will not cut yourself. The only problem I had is if the lid is a little bent the can opener is hard to get off.

I bought one for my Mother and it broke after only a few uses. Sounds like the same piece broke off that other people reported. Wonder what would happen if I just sent it back and asked them to send her a new one?

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I received mine as a Christmas gift and I loved it, since I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. It worked on most jars, and I have other gadgets for those odd shaped jars. However, I tried it on a home-canned jar (the lid was stuck tight from some food residue that occured during the canning process); it opened the jar, but one part broke during the process. Sure wish I could find another one.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I used one for about 10 times. Got it for Christmas, and the lid holder broke, does anyone know where I can get it fixed or replaced. the company I called said that I did not buy it from them. Any help?

RUDEST people I have ever dealed with in their customer service department.

Post by Rebecca-USA

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I may have bought one, but after talking to their customer service workers, no way. Their customer service department employs the RUDEST people I have ever had to deal with.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

Just received two that I bought. It is a sham. It does not open all jars with 4" or less diameter. It does not work where the jar has a little curve at the top below the lid. It does not work when the lid is the type that pops up once you start to open. It does not work on plastic jars. I could not get the thing to stop until I struggled for 15 minutes to get the batteries out . They did offer to credit me. HOWEVER I have to PAY THE POSTAGE $7.00 TO SEND IT BACK.Save yourself the trouble & aggravation.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

Are you asking about a jar opener (for twist-off lids) or a can opener (cutting through metal lids)? I tried the can opener (actually two) took both back to the store. I have had the jar opener for two years now, and because of arthritis in my hands, it is one of my most used appliances in my kitchen! I used to have to wait for my son to get home to open jars for me (very frustrating!), no more! I LOVE IT!!

Odd that the one touch works for some but not for most. I could get it to work, but it drained the batteries after two cans. I even tried lithium batteries.

Always save your receipts!

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

Yes, and my advice don't buy one. I have changed batteries, etc. More trouble then it is worth. If I could find the receipt I would take it back!

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I have Carpal Tunnel and this opener has been a God sent to me. If will not open the really wide jars, or really high jars, but I still love it. My daughter gave it to me about 5 years ago when they first came out. So, my is older, they may have improved on the size the opener will open now. It does take some getting use to, but I use mine everyday as I cook two to three meals a day. I think now they make them with can opener on them.

I just returned mine back to Walmart. Don't waste your time, or money. :)

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I bought one for my mom who has arthritis thinking I was doing a good thing for her. It is bad. It only will work on certain sized jars. I would not buy it at all.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I am amazed that 2 readers loved this thing. It is the biggest piece of garbage I ever bought. We got it at Bed Bath & Beyond and, after trying to make it work several times, ended up returning it. The customer service person said that a LOT of people returned them so it wasn't a defective one or anything. Don't waste your money.

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

They are wonderful. I do alot of preserving and many times the lids are far too tight, no problem for the opener.

Post By siris (Guest Post)

RE: One Touch Jar Opener

I used to work at a store that sold them. We would sell out before we could even display them all. Everyone loved them!! And I bought one for my grandmother, and she LOVES it. She just puts it on, touches it, and it goes around and it's done! She says it "wags it's tail" as it goes around. It's great!! Well worth $20.
