Open Ease - Automatic Jar Opener

For those with limited strength or grip in their hands, opening Jars is one of the most challenging tasks. To solve this problem, Hamilton Beach consulted The Arthritis Institute and interviewed those with arthritis and dexterity issues before designing their “Open Ease” jar opener. They have also taken the time to design the product around consumer feedback on arthritis.

The opener is practically effortless in use and is considered one of the best kitchen gadgets for seniors. Just place the opener over the jar and press the "Open Jar" button. There is no need for any more effort, the opener does all the hand-wrenching for you. Upon loosening the lock,simply press the "Open Lock" button. The opener then automatically switches off. It's really that simple

Design
Each appliance at Hamilton Beach needs to work well for customers before it ever gets onto the shelves. We receive truthful input and opinions from a variety of sources as we develop the goods. Now this is Good Thinking. ® We concentrated on handgrip, comfort and power for the OpenEaseTM Jar Opener. We met with The Arthritis Institute and interviewed people with arthritis and dexterity problems.

We left no stone unturned as we sought their feedback about the jar opener. What does it feel like in your hand? Which location for the buttons do you prefer? How do you lookwhen you press them down? Once we had been clear about the needs of consumers, we knew we had a product which would make their lives easier.
