Others say...
"OXO changed the design. Not good." Apparently OXO changed the design of their jar opener. I already had the jar opener that was pictured and I wanted a 2nd one for on the go because they work so well. When I received my item, I ended up getting the one pictured here:Good Grips Jar Opener. Like the previous bad reviews, this model has sharper teeth which tend to cut into the jar tops. It's not built as well as the old model and my guess will fall apart before my old one does, which I've had for around 10 years. So much for new product design(AKA cost cutting). "doesn't work" Very poor, stupid design. It does not generate enough pressure. It slips, damaging the jar top as it rotates against it. Then, it slips off the lid entirely, hurting your hand, since you have to press down very hard to get any traction at all. I still use it sometimes, but either the rubber pad or hot water method really work at least as well. I look forward to tossing it as soon as I find a decent gadget. "This is my second one...it's great." I got this for a Christmas gift 4 years ago. I've never had one that worked this well. I use it all the time...it just broke today, and I'm getting another one. "I Need More Power" This item lacks the heavy dutiness that it needs to open the toughest of jars. This opener does about the same as I can do with my hand, and that's about it. It is not long enough to get the leverage required to open some jars. Also this item does not fold away or store away nicely at all. If you have an extra spot in your drawers for it go ahead and buy it, otherwise don't! "does it's job well" It works I have not found a jar it doesn't open, it will not break plastic

What our customer's say! "Disappointment from Oxo", I've gone through two of these and won't purchase another. The first one broke after using it a three or four times, but since I like Oxo products in general, I assumed it just a fluke. The second one I simply threw away. As other reviewers have pointed out, it uses tiny, metal teeth to grip the lid, which slip and could conceivably cause injury. It was worthless, so I'm back to the old technique of using hot water on the lid and banging the sides with a spoon. Works better than Oxo, that's for sure. "A must in the kitchen", I have owned this item for a few years and think it's great. Works well on great big jar lids as well as little bottle screw tops like those on a salad dressing bottle. The trick is to push it firmly so it is wedged in tight when you go to twist. Any one with dexterity problems or limited strength should have it but it's a must even if you don't have these issues. "Works pretty well, but not durable", 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. "OXO Baaaaaaad Grips(NO Grips)", I think this is THE worst kitchen helper I have ever purchased. It will slip off unexpectedly while you are trying unsuccessfully to unscrew a jar lid. I have come close to injuring myself a number of times, so will not use it any longer. I would give it a minus 5, actually, but that wasn't an option. I do not recommend this to anyone. It is easier to whack the lid with a butter knife and then smack it on the underside of the jar a few times...works for me, and hey, it's free!!!!!! "This should be recalled", Bought this six years ago to use instead of the under-cabinet one that was already installed in my kitchen. The under-cabinet one was better at unscrewing a lid, but occasionally the jar would slip out of the vice and my hand would get pinched. Well, this OXO opener proved to be a disaster in every way. Like other reviewers noted, it doesn't secure well enough to the lid, slips off the lid, and hurts your hand when it gets slammed into the jar. I'm surprised no one has sued the company for manufacturing this awkward, uncomfortable, dangerous product. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Keep Looking", The opener is too fragile for the task. The serrated blade is held in place by thin, brittle plastic that is easily broken if one inadvertantly twists or "levers" the handle even slightly up from the plane of the lid - easy to do with a tight lid. Should you decide to use it, try to keep the body of the opener pressed flat against the cap - easier said than done when trying to stabilize the jar and get leverage on the tool handle. "Doesn't work at all", This Jar Opener was given to me as a wedding gift with several other OXO tools. I love the other items but this thing isn't even good for a door stop. It doesn't open any of the jars I've tried it on, just does a good job of scratching the lids up. "Aughhhh, competely useless!", I have always wanted one of these and finally wasted my money and bought one. More pressure is needed to hold this device on the lid of a jar than it would take just to open the jar in the first place. If you are buying this because of small hands or weak grip, don't bother. My husband can make it work, but by the time he is in the kitchen he can just open the jar for me. The teeth to hold the lid are shallow and slip off the jar if you don't apply enough downward pressure. I have never been so disappointed in a kitchen gadget! "This is an amazing product", Bought this a few years ago for my partner who had fibro myalgia, and have used it daily ever since. A friend just fell and broke her arm @ the wrist, so I loaned it to her. She fell so in love with it that she found it here on the net and is purchasing one for herself. "Buyer Beware", Anyone needing assistance to open jars. need not waste their money on the oxo. The jars do not stay secure and slip, from the simplest relish jar to a large mayonaisse jar. In short, it is worse than useless - unless you need a pooper-scooper when you walk your dog. It does do that fairly well. |
