Overview
The Elite Gourmet EJO800 Automatic Electric Jar Opener is a low-cost battery-operated opener that removes pressure-sealed lids with the press of a single button. High-torque action works on tight lids and bottle caps, and the auto-size guides and auto-gripping jaws are designed to centre themselves on most lid diameters. Elite Gourmet states a working range from about 1.2 inches up to 3.5 inches across, which takes in typical jam, pickle, salsa and sauce jars. It is a compact, drawer-friendly unit sold by the brand's own online store for $14.99 at the time of writing. The manufacturer does not publish the battery type, the product dimensions or the product weight, although the brand store lists a 0.9 lb shipping weight.
