Hi Everyone, I've just joined, I wondered if anyone can recommend a kitchen aid to help me open bottles and jars as my hands and wrists are so weak and it's very frustrating keep asking my other half to do it for me. I've been online but there are so many to choose from and differing reviews, thankyou!

Hi @Daisybelle - Welcome to the community. I have difficulty with this too, & have found that with many you need to have one good hand to hold the jar in order to use some. I've used the following shop before. I find them reasonably priced (you can get VAT relief), & they have some examples that look like they'd work for you. Please see: https://www.completecareshop.co.uk/kitchen-aids/bottle-and-jar-openers/Hope this helps.
