   Every time I use this when I have a guest over, they order one for themselves! I have weak wrists and some arthritis in my fingers as does my husband and this is just the perfect answer. It says to not use it on plastic, but it does work well on those painfully tight, ridged plastic lids on juice bottles (32 oz). There are occasions when it has popped the lid with such power it fell off onto the counter, so I don't let it go "unsupervised". We had trouble with the battery cover staying on, but some tape did the trick.

   After multiple arm and wrist fractures, a ruptured tendon, and 2 surgeries, I have little use of my left hand and no use of the thumb for an extended recovery period, making it impossible to grasp a jar to open the lid. I was shopping Amazon for a better can opener and saw the RoboTwist. It's a lifesaver. It works! It's slow and a bit noisy, but it gets items open every time, with no spills. I've used it for a variety of items. Most helpful to me is opening Ensure bottles, which I'm drinking as a protein supplement to promote healing; those lids are 1.5 inches in diameter. Read the instructions--hold the button down while the outer claws tighten and until the inner claws start to move; then release the button. I keep my hand lightly on the body of the Robo during the opening and until the claws retract enough to remove it. I do not touch the jar/bottle at all during the opening process; it just sits on the counter. I have used the product daily for 3 weeks.

   I'm a single gal, mid-60s and opening jars is becoming very difficult; hurts my hands/thumbs and I can't get most jars open myself without a lot of banging the lids and swearing, LOL. This thing really works on most standard size jars; even worked with some coaxing on an over-sized square jar that the holding arms couldn't quite clear (but not really recommended). I liked it so much I ordered one for each of my single gal pals for Xmas! It is a plastic body, so avoid dropping it on hard surfaces (duh), and don't try to use it to open jars that it really doesn't fit on (outer holding arms). Read instructions so you are clear on how it works, and HOLD THE JAR at the bottom that you are trying to open so the jar doesn't go flying when the opener pops open the lid! I've only had this a couple weeks and only opened a few items so far, so can't speak to durability, but so glad I purchased this.

   Being an older individual I find it harder for me to open sealed jars. I had a friend who purchased one of these items for me and I was amazed at how much easier it made my life. Any item that allows one to function easily without assistance is highly desired especially for one who desires to remain independent for as long as possible.
   A friend of mine purchased one of these jar openers for me as I am getting older and was having a hard time opening sealed jars. I am extremely pleased and happy to recommend this to anyone, especially one who is getting older and who desires to remain independent as long as possible with a good quality of life. This definitely enables me to more easily cook as well as do other tasks that require the opening of jars.

   On Christmas day it was opened and a jar that had been canned that could not be opened was brought in. The jar lid had been hit several times to loosen it but the lid would not come off. I thought this might be a quick end of a Christmas present. New batteries were put in and it was put on the jar, press and hold the button and off it went. I thought it was going to break hearing it strain so much and it was making a few sounds besides the motor whirling as it struggled to open the jar but to our amazement it did open the jar. Unbelievable what this little thing could do. I am not sure how long it will last but what I saw on its maiden voyage was incredible and for sure proof that it could in fact take off a stuck lid.

   As a 71-year-old female who has arthritis in my hands, I have searched for ages to find something that will open jars for me easily. FINALLY found it in this product! Don't expect it to work quickly, because it takes it's sweet time, but it DOES work and that's all that matters to me. You do have to place it upright (the way it sits on the jar) when you finish using it, in order for it to stop, as it is automatic. I absolutely love it! If I could think of any improvement, it would be to give a color choice so I could get red to match my kitchen :)

   I have repetitive stress injuries in my hands and wrists, which means I don't have a whole lot of grip strength. I also live alone. This has resulted in some serious frustration over the years with some jar lids. Recently I watched a video where this product was demonstrated, and I immediately ordered one. I had the chance to use it for the first time a few days ago and it worked perfectly. It's slow, but then I have fought with lids for longer before so it's not that big of a deal. It's also pretty noisy, but not enough to put me off using it.

   I initially saw this advertised in my Hammacher Schlemmer catalog and watched the video of how it worked. I was impressed but skeptical. I thought the price was too high though, so I went on Amazon and found the exact product there for about $20 cheaper. I bought it and my wife and I just love it. It actually opens those Italian sauce big jars, the ones I have hard time opening these days due to some arthritis. It’s very easy to use. It does make a bit of noise though. That doesn’t bother us at all because it works great.

   It's not much to look at, but this gadget does the job. It actually works as advertised, and I've opened tiny jelly jars and large containers of Gatorade with it. When it encounters an additional piece of plastic sealing the cap to the keeper ring around the neck of a plastic bottle, it keeps on working until all the little fragments of plastic connecting the cap to the retainer ring are broken, no matter how many there are. It is amazing. My husband became a believer very quickiy, and now he uses it, too. Love this thing.

   I got this jar opener before I had carpal tunnel surgery, as I knew it would be difficult to open jars while recovering. Heck, some jars are just hard to open anyway. I love this thing! It takes a little coaxing to get it started. I have to push the button a couple of times to get it going, but that’s not a problem at all, as once it gets going, it powers it’s way through the toughest of jars without a hiccup! I love using this thing every time I need to open a jar!!
