Love The Zipit! I tried one of the other manual clamshell openers but this is much better. All you do is push a button and let the zipit do all the work. It’s like an electric can opener for packages. It is wisely designed in a way that keeps your hand away from the sharp package “shrapnel” so you do not cut your fingers. I can’t wait to use this for Christmas!

For the first time I can open things without tugging and tearing up my hands. Better then pen knives or anything else I have tried. Not sure if it will work on the few pkgs that do not have even seems on the sides, but most of the pkgs i need to open do have the kind of sides this will open. It was NO problem and was fast and easy.
I just received my Zipit Blister Pack/Clamshell Opener. Yes, I was mesmerized by the awe-inspiring video that shows the can opener-like blades effortlessly slicing and dicing their way through the meanest blister packs. Delivery via UPS was quick, however my initial box-opening experience was not very pleasant.
The package from Amazon arrived in very bad condition. It look like that it had been opened, and then re-taped haphazardly. Additionally, the sides and corners of the box were heavily dented — never a good sign when receiving electronic goods through UPS.
Inside this box was another smaller, institutional brown cardboard box with a simple label that said “THE ZIPIT #ZIPIT103″. This box, needless to say, was also poorly taped shut. Opening this smaller box, I found the actual Zipit device. It was placed inside a rather worn bubble wrap baggy (most of the bubbles were already popped). I guess it makes sense not to package a “blister” cutter inside a “blister” styled plastic container, but this poor attempt at packaging gave me a bad impression. Along with a faded two-sided instructional card (more on that below), that was all what was in the box.
The Zipit itself looks like it was previously used. The green and purple plastic components were covered with oily fingerprints/splotches and some kind of sticky gunk. The faded and poorly-worded instructional manual (basically just a small sheet of paper printed on both sides) appeared as if it was printed on someone’s home inkjet that badly needed new ink cartridges. Although it was difficult to read, I kind of liked that that the instructions confidently stated:
“We have taken numerous measures in quality control to ensure that the Zipit arrives in top condition.”
Hmmph…not feeling too confident about this product so far.
The instructions advised you to remove the clear “safety cap” prior to use. However, the safety cap had a continuous groove on one side, completely exposing the two circular blades. Large adult fingers would not be able come into contact with the blades, but little kids’ inquisitive hands would have no problem in getting inside and being sliced. It looks like designers originally envisioned the Zipit effortlessly slicing plastic packaging by inserting the blister edges into the groove on the cap….however they now decided to call it a safety cap and advise its users to take it off before cutting.
I get the impression that the Zipit was rushed to production before being fully tested and marketed.
Since I don’t have batteries yet, I have not been able to test its purported cutting functions. Based on my “OOBE” (Out OF Box Experience), I am not too confident that it will live up to its hype. Stay tuned for more info.
I just received my Zipit and I was pleasantly surprised to see it did NOT come in a clamshell package. You need 2 AA batteries to use The Zipit. I had to play with it for a minute before getting it to work just right but the included instructions give very good guidance. If I had bothered to read them before trying to use it myself I would have been better off. There are some good tips in there. Once I got it to work, it was FANTASTIC! For a mother who has cut several fingers trying to open those stupid clamshells this was a breath of fresh air. I am actually looking forward to the next clamshell I encounter. One more use that is NOT mentioned in the instructions…when used with the safety cap on you can easily cut open envelopes, even the thicker package envelopes. A nice added bonus.

The gal that rec’d these said they are excellent. She really liked the egg nog.
I was happy to find out that the 2009 Holiday bundle packs are the Jaspers, but to play in HD you still have to provide a HDMI cable. The other Elite systems include a HDMI cable but the holiday bundle does not. Other than that this would’ve gotten a 5* review. PS3 is still the better of the 2 systems though…
great system. i own a wii and gamecube but this system has quickly trumped them both. great graphics, great interface, great everything.
With every new version, I run out and try it hoping for new results
this version puts off much less heat however
still way to loud on the fans and dvd rom sounds cheap and loud as well
Interface still seems like fisher price and lack of usb transfer from a software company is cheap
120 GB HD is 149 (You can buy a 500GB for 89 dollars and put it in a PS3)
wifi is 99(really ms? after how long on the market, wifi is a standard on most systems)(standard in a PS3, and cost about 7 dollars to make)
Live is still 50? how about 19.99?
This hardware is still shoddy feeling and sounding and the nickel and diming makes you laugh
If your a grown adult and looking for quality hardware and something that has a bang for a buck, skip the xbox360 and get a PS3 and if a PS3 isnt your cup of tea wait till next gen to try the next Xbox
This is the third 360 I’ve owned, and by far the one I’m most pleased with.
First, it’s quiter than the ones I’ve dealt with before. It makes a bit of noise but not nearly as much.
Second, gotta love that black finish! I was always worried with my older systems about leaving smudges on the white control pad. No problem there now!
Third, the 120GB hard drive that comes with it is pretty sweet. I was thinking about waiting until next week to get the 250GB drive, but I think 120 is more than enough, considering that I don’t download tons of things onto there.
Fourth, the HDMI port! I connected up a cable to my brand new HDTV and, oh, my goodness, does it look great!
Last, the included games. Previously they bundled “Lego Indiana Jones” and “Kung Fu Panda”. In this case you get “Lego Batman”, which is a better game, and “Pure”, which is much better than “Kung Fu Panda”. I don’t care for racing games, so I probably won’t play it much, but at least I might play it more than once, which wasn’t the case with KFP.
Overall this is quite a good buy! You get the system, two games and a good sized hard drive for only $50 more than a system with half the drive space and no games. Really, there’s no reason not to buy this system if you’re after a 360!
This is definitely the latest version. The Power supply is only 150Watts! That must mean the latest smaller chip-fab technology.
The box is very quite (because of the low wattage it has less heat, so less fan noise).
The picture is very good from the HDMI (although I had to supply my own cable).
The 360 is a very powerful little game console and it looks like the technology is maturing nicely.
This is a big improvement over my old 360 which had component video, was hot, obnoxiously loud, and seemed slower to boot up. This one boots up quick and the new dashboard software is nicer than the old one.
As far as this bundle, I haven’t played the game so I don’t know about that, but it would be nice if a play-and-charge kit was included. At at least they give you a first set of batteries for the controller. And with this bundle you know for sure you are getting the newest version console. Only 150W and runs quietly.
