Thank you for reviewing something that would be good for those of us
with a handicap/dexterity issues! People like me often have low or no
income and also high medical expenses and getting products that may not
work is a real gamble...so its good to know for sure!
Glad I could be of help!
That noise wont help when you're trying to sneak a jar of cookies at 3 AM
Unnamed what kind of cookie jars are this tight? Lol
you sir just ruined my joke, it was a bad one but it's worse now :(.
I liked the joke

I should imagine that this would be a big help for anyone missing an arm or hand. Jar opening must be a nightmare for some people ?
Or for wives whose husbands close the orange juice absurdly tight...
I bought this for my mom - she has arthritis and it helped her
Well I'll have to try it.
or people with motor neuron diseases like ALS or some sort of trauma like a stroke or a palsy
It should come with free hearing protection!
I bought these years ago for my sister and mom who both had terrible arthritis in their hands. They loved em. And the can opener version as well.
I have been unable to open the spaghetti sauce jar without beating up the lid with a knife in the hopes of releasing the seal. This jar open is the bomb! It opened the sauce jar so easily. So glad I bought one.
I recently developed arthritis in my hands. Just got one of these and love it. You're right, length of time and loudness does not matter to me. It opens jars which otherwise would be a painful struggle for me.
I'm glad it works well for you. It is definitely a good fit for those with arthritis.
How do you get it open?
That's cold but funny....
I developed minor hearing damage from the review... Just joking,
It looks like it's snapping necks and taking names
Just saw this today, my son got me this, I have arthritis, carpal tunnel and a trigger finger. Your correct this is a big help for people who need it. It’s loud and takes time. It’s worth it to eat. Thanks for posting.
Yep. Arthritis sufferers could use this, especially now that you have demonstrated it so well. Thank you. (I have been using a strapwrench for years.)
Another winner in my book! I have days where I cannot open my hands easily and jars are a nightmare for me. I was thinking of buying the Robo Twist and wasn't sure about it. You've helped me make the decision. Thanks again!
Very happy to have been helpful!
I will buy for my mom. I got her the red battery operated can opener. She liked that item. A smile is spread across her face when she says, "My daughter is ALLways buying me gadgets.😀😀. I pray for the same results👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you for the demonstration of the various bottle types. Received this at Christmas and love this product. My hands are arthritic and certainly makes a difference. I would recommend.
"Soybot, I need you, my strength is waning"
This music is too intense for a jar opener lmao! Is the jar coming of age? Is it training for its next big fight?
Hey this is man vs machine. Very dramatic!!
Yes and yes.
I just got one of these for my folks. Watching my Mother struggle with a couple jars over Thanksgiving was enough to tell me this is a needed product. Thanks for the review.
My husband and I are both seniors with arthritis. We bought this and it is wonderful. It opens almost everything we need to open. I would recommend this to anyone that has a problem opening jars.
I've been watching a whole bunch of your videos lately (in no particular order), and I have to say this is my favorite gadget so far! Works well and has a very practical application.
As Chandler would say, "cant that thing BE any louder!?"
I just got one for Christmas so watched your video to see how it works, I'm impressed! I would never have bought one myself but as a gift I'll take it!Thanks for the demo, I can't wait to try it myself!
Thank you for this review :) I never would have thought about a product like this. I have a wrist injury from work and I hate that I cant open some of those really tight jars on my own!
My late grandmother could have used this. She didn't really even have bad arthritis, just not a great grip in old age.
I do occasionally get jars that are hard to open, typically pickle and olive jars. They are invariably glass jars with metal lids. I typically will use what is known as a strap wrench to get them open. A strap wrench is a rubber strap with an external handle for leverage. It usually works, but still requires quite a bit of effort. I mention this as an alternative for people who don't want to pony up the money for something like this that will likely get used a couple of times a year.
I live with a health condition & opening jars is usually a big challenge for me. This video was very helpful and informative. I have to say that the amount of time spent waiting on this device to open a jar is FARRR shorter than a good many of ~my~ jar opening endeavors, lol
I thought for sure it was going to fail and that pickle jar LOL. Looks like overall it's going to work for my Mother, thank you very much for the review
I am also giving this to my mother, who will certainly have more use for it than I will.
I enjoy your reviews so much! You look at a wide range of interesting products. I'm one of those people with issues opening jars. I have neuropathy in both hands, so the noise and time factors would not matter to me. I have spent longer than a minute trying to open a jar, only to put it back in the cabinet and wait for my friend to come over so he could open it. The Robo Twist and I are going to be good friends!
I spent two minutes trying to open a pickle jar just last night. I almost gave up. I have arthritis in my hands. I am going to get one . I was hurting for 15 minutes.
Take a flat screwdriver and stick it inbetween the lid and the jar from below. Give it be a little twist so that the lid (just momentarily) slightly deforms. This will let the air in, and after that has happened it will no longer put up any fight.
I have reduced hand strength and dexterity due to multiple surgeries, I managed to find one of these a month or so ago and can honestly say that it has improved my quality of life. I live alone and have had instances where I have had to wait a few days for someone to visit before I could ask them to open some jars for me.
Thanks for the video. I needed to purchase something like this because of my arthritic hands. I'm glad it opens well. I will be purchasing one soon.
Soibot I need you, my strength is waning
🤣
Thanks so much for your video. I just got one and had the identical trouble getting it out of the box! I missed the 3-second start button instruction in the leaflet so you helped me with that!
Glad I could help! Have you tried it yet? How do you like it?
I have Arthritis and this would be awesome to have. I have one of the manual jar openers right now but this looks so easy.
Thank you for this demo! It was helpful & I am gonna purchase this product, because well my mom needs it, and sometimes she waits for days for us to come by, so 35-50 seconds to open a lid, she's way better off!!! Yay thank you for your time!
nice review, I was thinking of getting it for my mom. Thanks!
Thank you for another great review. I love all your videos. Before I buy anything I go to your Channel to see if it's worth buying.
Very informative as usual - plus your videos have such great music in them (like this one); any idea what it is?
I have had one for years. I love it!
Might have to get one for my grandma. More then once she has had me open multiple jars when i came over that had just sat around cause she couldn't do it.
Great review and it will help some people.
Awesome review looks like a great product. More robot reviews please. ^v^
Soibot I need you my strength is waning
This was a nice blast from the past while looking for similar products after an injury.
Thank you for reviewing this. MS and arthritis interferes with many things. Now I know it won't be a waste of money to invest in one. Thank you, very much!
Thanks sooo much for this review! I'm a single lady struggling with the "joys" of aging (63 and counting...), and am having a lot of problems opening many jars. I just don't have the grip strength I used to, so opening jars is now a painful, frustrating experience. I saw this advertised and wondered if it would be worth purchasing or would be a disappointment. You have reassured me that this might be just what I need.
I always come here, before I buy anything. Video 4 years old? Who cares.. You're the man! I trust that Wendy you say, is the way to 'freakin' go! 😁
That is the best yet! So simple! I have a jar top grip, with teeth, shaped a pac man. Put the jar in, twist the jar, and the top pops off.
I have 1 it works great. When I could not take caps off I got it when it came out I love it.
Thank you James for doing this for us; as consumers we want to know if the products you try are worth it before we buy them, again THANK YOU.
I am glad this worked. I had the huge Black and Decker one that worked really well but I used it so much it finally burned out the motor..
thank you very useful! I knew that product was not for me at the beginning of your video thanks! ( I want to open bigger lids)
I just found this, thank you! Can you do other jar openers, both electric and manual?
Thanks for this review. I need all the help I can get.
Wish I'd seen the easy off jar opener sooner. As an older person opening jars is often difficult. Automatic jar opener is a hit or miss with me. Thanks!👍
Good review choice this would make for a great gift for my mom on some of those stubborn bottle lids she doesn’t have the strength to open some of them 👍🏻
Great Review!
I really like your videos and your reviews. Thanks! You help me a lot! I eat a lot of pasta and buy jarred pasta sauce. I think this would be a great addition to my collection of kitchen tools. You're review was great. Thanks!
You save me a lot of money especially this smokers Grill I couldn't have that in my apartment where is very sensitive here with alarm goes off instantly and thank you so much for being honest
Great review. Was thinking of buying one for my 86 yo mother, who is starting to have more issues with jar/bottle opening.
have you tested any of the battery operated stand-alone can openers that go around the jar on their own? I had an old crappy one and it worked well but I've lost it and I can't use a can opener or open jars.
Nice vid, great range of test items - but dang, that thing is loud!
And it sounds like it runs on the same fuel as my weed eater, so that’s convenient.
Sounds like the garbage truck outside my house every Monday morning. Now I can enjoy that lovely sound any time inside my home. Hooray!
After watching all of these jars being opened, I am now really hungry. XD
I love this, it works great
Oh my god, I could've used this a few days ago! I was making chicken and shrimp alfredo and the stupid lids to the sauce jars were bigger than my palm or about the same size. I turned the jar over and patted the bottom of the jar several times to help out and then twisted. I wasn't getting a good grip for nothing. Add in that the kitchen was sweltering and my hands were sweaty (knees weak, arms are ready) and I wasn't in a pleasant mood. I considered calling my brother and roommate over to open it for me but my pride drew the line there, lol.
With red, aching palms, I finally was able to finish dinner. Thankfully I only needed two of the three jars I bought or else yes...pride be damned, bro, come open this jar for your sis!
But I won't be too proud to get anything like this product. This would be great for all those blasted glass jars like jelly or pickles that are a pain, literally, to open.
So is your robotwist still moving or has it bit the dust. Mine gave up the ghost after a couple of years, but worked great for a long time. Your video pushed us to get this and we were pleased. Don’t know if I should get another though.
there are some jars even a strong person would need help opening
Not if ya gotta butter knife....
I'm not that strong and never had a problem opening anything.
It was because of this video, we were convinced to buy this! It DOES live up to its claims! It’s slow, but it works. Great for those with low strength or arthritis!
I got this off of Wish for about $10 for my mom, who has severe RA. She loves it, it helps her a lot.
I use it all the time and have used it for years. I have severe arthritis in my hands and can’t open anything. Thirds has been a life saver and more than worth the money. My husband is almost 80 years old and while at one time his hands were very strong, he has lost the strength in his hands and cannot open jars either. This is one product we can’t live without, we would buy it again (and have) no matter what the cost.
To works faster if you hold the opener steady on top of the jar.
James, to open soda bottles, all you need are a decent pair of channel lock pliers; easy peasy… (Merry X-mas, BTW)
I have never needed one, don't anticipate needing one, but it is pretty cool. Maybe it would be awesome for someone who does a lot of canning. 👍🏻
Thank you for the demo. I just bought one and the only problem I have had is getting the robo off the jar after the lid pops. It stops and holds on. I try pushing the button and it just starts turning again. Any suggestions?
I had a powered can opener with a very similar design, I'm not sure It was branded as a 'Robo' product.. I really liked setting it on the can and continuing with other kitchen tasks.
thanks for helping me decide on a gift for my grandma!!! her arthritis is getting bad so i wanna look for things to help her still be independent and support her however i can.
I like the fact that he's not sponsored by anyone, it makes his reviews more honest.
That's the idea! Of course that also kills any potential sponsorship deals, too!
Francesco Rinaldi is my all-time favorite pasta sauce. Good choice!
The soothing sounds of Robotwist..
We need Smuckers strawberry topping over here in Scotland. I agree on the time it takes to open the jar. I'll stick with the hinged side of the back door
I bought mine at a Thrift store (Brand new still) and I have to remove the batteries after every use other wise it'll turn itself on at random times when it's just sitting on a counter not being touched, it's came on by itself when I was the only one home and I was in the living room and it's in the kitchen 3 rooms away from it lol
But even with that issue I LOVE THIS , I am only 41 but have arthritis and it's very hard for me to get most jars open , I used to be able to use my rubber gripper to open jars but then that became painful and hard to get the lids off, so when I saw this at the Thrift store for only like 10 bucks I jumped on it! and haven't regretted it yet! And my kids even were happy that I got it, because I didn't have to bug them any more to open the jars for me :P As for 2 liter bottles or other small caps, I do have a hard plastic opener similar to the old glass bottle openers only it's round and it sits on top of the bottle cap and you just turn it to open the bottles .
I loved mine! I can't open a jar without it. Even if this takes a few seconds, that is nothing compared to running water on the under lid, tapping the lid with a knife, using a rubber piece to lay over the lid for traction - just to still be looking at a lid you can't get off of a stupid jar! My battery case will not stay closed anymore, so I am ordering a new one today!
I have had the Hamilton Beach version of this for about 3 yrs and it works great for my needs as I have arthritis in my hands giving me poor gripping strength.
Good review! Few years ago I tried the one touch and found it to be garbage, was not even going to look at the robotwist. Now my arthritic hands cant live without it.
I bought this because I have arthritic hands and it's a godsend! It does sometimes get stuck and sometimes I have to hold the button down until it catches but beats the heck out of not being able to open at all. Noisy af tho! And, I don't have a problem with plastic bottles either. I open Nutella all the time. I think that's a CYA because plastic is weaker than glass and it could possibly squeeze and crack it easily. Hasn't happened to me yet and I've had it about a year. Sometimes stops before taking lid off but never before breaking the seal which is all I need it to do.
Thank you for this video.
I would like to see you do a review on the Bagel Cutter Slice on amazon !!
MY HANDS ARE WEAK WITH SEVERE ARTHRITIS ONLY 67 YRS OLD , I DO PT TWICE A WK TO GET RELIEF AND DO HEATING, EXERCISES ETC AT HOME. DUE TO THIS I DONT MIND THE PRICE, NOISE OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO OPEN A DARN JAR OR BOTTLE AT HOME. TIRED OF ASKING MY BLDG SECURITY GUARD FOR HELP, OR WAITING FOR MY FAMILY TO COME HOME FROM WORK TO OPEN SOMETHING. I ALSO NEED A WATER SODA BOTTLE OPENER. SAW ONE ON AMAZON THAT MIGHT WORK TOO SO I WILL BUY BOTH. I ALREADY OWN A CAN OPENER. AGING IS NOT EASY FOLKS, BUT IT IS PART OF THE DEAL. I'M GLAD TO BE HEALTHY, HAPPY AND LOOKING LIKE I'M IN MY MID 50'S, MY BONES KNOW THE TRUTH LOL.
great..thanks for your review ..my mum who is 90 ,suffers from severe arthritis and desperately needs something like this..it appears to work well ..i reckon just make a standardised metal tube to fit any bottle into would cause it to clamp and do its job on any lid...im going to check if you do a review for a tin opener ...my mum bought one and i took it back ..it was rubbish ...thanks a lot from england
I bought one when they came out. I also got one for Christmas. Could not get either to work like you have. Maybe I need to dig it out and try again.
No what you do is read the manual and follow the directions in it and pay attention
this is a bottle opener for people who need help open bottles and jars but its actually a good bottle an jar opener just like most things give it a little extra time. now my question is do they have one that puts the lids back on? or does this bottle opener do that as well?
I have trouble with those damn "Childproof" lids that you have to squeeze... do you think this would work with those?
Next review, the "Robo Unboxer" :)
Glad to know it works in case my Black and Decker Lids Off ever stops working (I can't believe B&D abandoned that product when so many people still want it!).
Will this work on a rum liquor bottle? Have u tried it?
Those vitamin water bottles are on nuts tight! Seriously insane hard to open.. I have the robo twist and love it. I can open any jar easy by hand, except those dang vitamin waters lol.. my wife can't and she uses the heck out of the robo twist, works every time.
Oh that loud noise was from the jar opener. I thought it was the jar screaming in agony as the machine was squeezing it and viciously twisting off the lid.
I tried it on a pickle jar and it failed three times. Lid is 3.25 inches and jar is 5 inches with hardly no neck to the bottle. The lower clamps start closing first which pushed the lid clamps off the lid every time. ?
i always have to run hot water to be sure the lid is not stuck. and if it still won't easily open, i need to stop or i'll have elbow pain for a couple of day - not sure why but i'm looking and thank you for this review.
How long do the batteries last and what kind does it use? Thanks for the review.
It uses AA and lt depends on how often u use it
bought a different brand but the same design for my mother the reason was that she has bad arthritis. About 7 years ago. It's the cullinare one touch which James mentions.
She wanted to use it mainly for jars of sweet pickle which were impossible for her to open. (Different brand to the test).
This worked for a while and then destructed itself. We bought another and we found that there is no warning when the battery is low..... it stops mid way through and you can't then get it off !!!
Culinare had a similar can opener . This worked great BUT again if the battery runs out halfway through you couldn't get it off.
I like when starting at 6:03 the lid pops open and right after the cell phone falls.
For anyone with both hands though, a table knife inserted under the rim of the lid and twisted just slightly, opens every jar every time for the 66 years I've been alive. It pops that seal right off!
The opening was scary - Robo Twist coming at me.
