We instantly like the idea of the Jaromatic because it seems like something you'd find in the Jetsons' kitchen. Designed and patented by Jerry Russell, the Jaromatic can open jars and bottles that are at most a foot tall or shorter of any shape as long as they are 5¼ inches or less in diameter. It really isn't picky: "Just place the jar or bottle in the appliance, press the button, and the Jaromatic will open it and break the safety seal. Even opens most safety-lid medicine bottles!"
Russell's little device performs it's lid-opening magic behind a sliding door, so no one gets a finger caught while it's working. The Jaromatic simply lowers a rod powered by a motor and twists off the desired lid — but it's stronger than your average husband/boyfriend/man-in-the-room, so, when the door opens, you're presented with an opened jar.
Russell reckons the Jaromatic would retail for $40, though it's not on shelves yet. At 68 years old, he's ready to part with his investment of $80,000 and 10 years for $250,000, for patents and all.
