Why Quopener?
One simple movement: place it over the lid and press the handles together. Here is why that works.
-
The jar stays put
Place Quopener over the lid. The jar stays on the counter; you only hold the handles.
-
Your wrist doesn't turn
Press both handles together. The movement is in your hands, not in your wrist.
-
Both hands do the same
Your left and right hand press at the same time, in one calm movement. That way the force is shared by two hands.
-
Wet or greasy hands? No problem.
You don't hold the glass itself, so hands that are wet or greasy from cooking don't matter.
-
Also for jars without a vacuum
Vacuum or not, a lid from 5 to 9 cm comes open. From pickles to the jar of jam that has been stuck for weeks.
The difference
Not like other jar openers.
Most jar openers only solve half the problem: you still have to hold the jar and turn. Here you see the difference at a glance.
| Quopener | Twist opener | Vacuum lifter | Electric | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No need to hold the jar | Quopener: yes | Twist opener: no | Vacuum lifter: no | Electric: yes |
| Your wrist doesn't turn | Quopener: yes | Twist opener: no | Vacuum lifter: yes | Electric: yes |
| Wet or greasy hands don't matter | Quopener: yes | Twist opener: no | Vacuum lifter: yes | Electric: yes |
| Also jars without a vacuum | Quopener: yes | Twist opener: yes | Vacuum lifter: no | Electric: yes |
| No battery or plug | Quopener: yes | Twist opener: yes | Vacuum lifter: yes | Electric: no |
Twist opener: a rubber grip or clamp you use to turn the lid loose yourself. Vacuum lifter: lifts the edge of the lid so air gets in. Electric: runs on batteries or a rechargeable battery.

Works surprisingly well!

Finally I can open my jars myself. A really handy thing!

Should have bought this much sooner!

Fantastic! It took a little practice at first, but now it's easy.
Translated from Dutch
I was sceptical at first, but this really works. Jars I couldn't open before now open with no trouble.
Translated from Dutch
No more hassle with those jars!
Translated from Dutch
What a clever invention! I always found opening jars hard, because I have lost strength in my hands. Tried lots of jar openers, none really worked. But this one is great. Simple, quick and easy to use.
Translated from Dutch
Works better than expected, to be honest.
Translated from Dutch
I use it almost every day. Really happy with it!

Finally an opener that does what it promises. No more fiddling with tea towels or endless twisting. Recommended!

Great device. Only downside: I now have 30 opened jars, because I enjoyed using it so much haha.

I had a jar of strawberry preserves from France. Holy guacamole it is impossible to open. ... Well that jar was no match for my Easy Jar Opener!
Received it recently (The Netherlands) and it works like a charm. Great job!
Just get three openers here in France ! They work perfectly.
Got the opener and it works well ... Great product.
Used the opener a couple of times. Great piece of kit! Thank you.
... This really looks sturdy, that's great!
This is how it opens.

Place the Quopener over the lid. The jar simply stays put.
-
Handles together
Your wrist doesn't turn. You press the handles together.

Lid off. Even on that jar of jam that has been stuck for weeks.
Will Quopener fit my jar?
Yes, most standard jars with lids from 5 to 9 cm across.
- Works on vacuum and non-vacuum lids.
- Think jam, beans, pickles and pasta sauce.

Not sure?
Measure across your lid. Between 5 and 9 cm = it fits.
Doesn't it fit after all?
You can try it for 14 days. Not happy? Money back.
25 prototypes. One movement.
We felt that opening a jar didn't have to be so hard. So we started brainstorming, then built more than 25 prototypes in wood, aluminium and plastic, until one simple movement was left.
Just checking.
Which jars does Quopener work on?
Jars with a lid from 5 to 9 cm across. Vacuum or not doesn't matter, so peanut butter and stuck jam too. Bottles only if the cap is at least 5 cm across.
Do I need a lot of strength?
No. It is like the cutting movement of hedge shears.
What if it doesn't fit?
Then you get your money back. Often it's down to the size setting. Just email us at info@quopener.com and we'll take a look with you first. You'll hear from us within one working day.
Buy one for someone else too.
For your mum, your neighbour or your best friend. From 2, you pay less for each one, and you can mix red and blue as you like.
