Worked For Me With One Exception (So Far)
***UPDATED 2-27-26***Still loving this can opener! As a point of interest, I said it will not open ring top cans. I was just struggling with a can of Goya beans, unable to pull the lid off. I wiggled the ring tab off and figured I would give the opener a try without the ring tab. It worked perfectly!! So now I have to take back what I said about NOT opening ring top cans. With a little fiddling it WILL!I have arthritis in my right thumb which makes using a standard can opener impossible. After a LOT of research by my husband and I, we settled on this can opener. I would like to give it 4.5 stars because when it works, it is amazing. However, it will not open a 6 ounce tomato paste can (yes, I tried to open it from both the top and bottom of the can) nor will it open a can with a ring top. I know, I know...but I was hoping for help with ring top cans as well because these are also hard for me to open.That being said, it worked like a champ on each of the cans you see in the photo...standard tuna can, 2.5 ounce sliced olive can, 8 ounce tomato sauce can, and a 15 ounce can. I have not used it on cans larger than these.Some people say it is slow. For me, it is quicker than me trying to open the can with a traditional opener and a bum thumb. The other issue seems to be noise. The noise didn't seem excessive to my husband or to me. I wear hearing aids and the noise didn't interfere or bother me at all. It is quieter than a standard (stand up) electric can opener.As others have stated, the entire lid comes off and the edge of the top of the can is smooth - no risk of getting cut. It basically separates the lid from the can. I have a manual opener that does the same. I prefer the way these work - no lid falling into the contents of the can, and no sharp edges to worry about.There is a magnet to grab the lid and this works with smaller lids (the olive can and the tomato sauce can) but not for the larger cans. Not a problem because there is a little hook that slides out from the bottom and you can easily lift the lid (similar to how you would take a cap off of a soda or beer bottle).The opener is shamelessly easy to use. You literally just place it on the can top (easily aligning the mechanism with the rim), push the button, and away it goes. It even does a little backwards dance to let you know it has completed the job.There is little to get in the way of cleaning - no real exposed parts underneath - so keeping it clean is not a problem. Wiping it with a damp paper-towel after each use keeps it in like new condition.It was pricier than others available on Amazon, but after much research, this was clearly the winner.I like this opener so much that I have already gifted one to my brother and one to my sister.I cannot speak durability as I have only been using it for two weeks but it seems to be well made. I am hoping it will last through many can openings!Ver másVer menos
