Yes, it open jars and tops that are both round and square! there are two movements. One grabs the outside of the jar and the inner one turns the lid. when you see it move then you can let it return to the open position to release. It's slow and methodical but yes you will open your mayo jar!

I never tried it on a plastic jar. It did not work well on any glass jars I tried

I had ordered the jar opener as a replacement for my mother. She liked hers and it worked for 2 years before it broke. I believe this product is for glass jars. You might try this product for the plastic jars. My mother this type opener and she likes it. Evriholder EasiTwist Jar Opener, Assorted ColorsGood luck

I haven't used it on plastic jars yet. It works very well on most jars. There are two sets of jaws that tighten on the lid and the jar itself. The lower jaw has a problem gripping if the jar has a longer tapered neck. I did find however, it did loosen the lid a bit making it easier to manually open the jar.

Not sure how big your mayo jar is, but the diameter of the blender is 2 1/2 inches.

No, The Extreme magic Opener Does NOT open big plastic tops like Gatorade or Powerade.It works perfectly well with sizes between 1" and 1.25" for water bottles and soda bottlesThe additional interchangeable plates are to fit the size perfectly if needed, although the opener comes with the S plate that fits most common sizes used in USA.

I used one of those rubber gripper things you use to open jars in the kitchen, and it gave me a better grip and popped right open.

No, it doesn't. I tried in numerous ways to get this to work but the jar sealer requires a port which this unit does not have. I really, seriously recommend you DO NOT buy this hoping to use it for canning jar lids. If you call Foodsaver directly and ask about this, they will probably offer you an incredible deal on their smallest unit (FoodSaver Mini) which does this. I took them up on their offer and have been very happy with it for a year. I now store most everything in the wide mouth jars.

I believe it does. There is a section of metal on the inside of the handles that is used for opening jars or cracking nuts and that seems to be attached to the ends of the bottle openers and scissors part. That's just a guess though. I don't really have that answer.

It will open a jar with up to a 3 & 1/2 inch lid. My hands are very arthritic and I am very pleased with this product.

It has to be a jar with a lid--not a can. You hold the opener above the jar, parallel to the lid and press the black button. The opener will self adjust to the lid and once it is tight enough, it will twist the lid open. When you hear air escape from the jar, you will know the lid has been loosened. Release the black button and the arms of the opener will release the jar automatically.

The graduated Y makes it so it opens almost anything. It will open a milk jug and the juice containers would depend on the design of the carton. If the opening is on the top I would say yes but if it is on the side like the old milk cartons probably not. I really like mine.

Yes, it does. I have arthritis, so sometimes takes a good bit of hand/arm leverage. The "Y" shape allows it to open any size jar/bottle cap or lid. I'd buy again.

I measured the opening, and this works best on caps 1 to 1.5 inches. I think that baby food jars may be wider than that, but you can measure. This works well on water bottles and small caps.

Opens all sizes of cans. This opener opens the can by breaking the seal around the outside of the can rather than cutting the inside of the can. It makes the can lid totally safe (no sharp edges) but the lid no longer fits in the can. Therefore, I don't like to use it to open tuna cans since I can't use the lid of the opened can as a press to drain the tuna dry.

No, but has very smooth action. I was use to assisted opening and now that I have broke this knife in it opens just as fast.

It will open milk/juice plastic containers where the cap is on the top of the container. It won't open the older style milk carton with the cap located on the side.

Hey Sara! I'm not sure, most of the tuna I purchase comes with a flip top lid, the way this opener seems to work - it creates a lid on the can, not an air tight seal, but a lid all the same. Let me buy a can of tuna and see what happens, if the site allows me to answer more than once I will return my results. Thanks!

The smallest I've tried is 7/8 inch diameter, largest is 4 1/2 inch diameter. It might open a 5 inch jar, but I would not try anything larger.

You should have no problem opening a plastic lid 3 inches in diameter. I have used this opener with large mayo and salsa jars with plastic lids without any problem. This is the best kitchen aid I own.
