Easy peasy, no fuss, no strength required can opener that fits in a drawerJune 25, 2008 S. Page(UK) 12 out of 12 found this review helpful
My old hand cranked tin opener had seen better days and was slipping on cans and becoming rusty so it was time to get a new one. I stumbled across this item while searching Amazon and remembered seeing these things on TV. Now most of these things you see on shopping TV dont seem to live up to expectations but the reviews on Amazon gave me the confidence to purchase and I am glad I did. The unit is so easy to operate it needs two instructions. Plop it on top of the can, push the button. Thats it, can opened lift the thing off even takes the can lid with it plop the lid in the bin, put the opener away, easy peasy. Takes standard batteries, push button reverse in case it jams, which for me it never has even on slightly deformed cans. The build quality is excellent, feels solid and has some weight but not too much. A must if you struggle with cans as no pressure is required at all.
A fabulous little kitchen toolMay 6, 2008 P. Miller 43 out of 45 found this review helpful
This thing works remarkably well considering it only uses two small AA batteries. Fantastic for people who have problems with their hands, also useful for those who want tins to be opened while they get on with something else!
Place tin on hard surface, place opener on tin, press button, go away and do something else. Come back a few seconds later and your tin is open...no sharp edges, no mess, perfect.
Batteries are easily replaced, the back just slides off, not that I've needed to do so after 3 months so far. I bought two of these, one for myself and one for my parents for Xmas (2007), both have performed faultlessly.
Excellent compact useful gadgetNovember 10, 2007 Bunjirabbit(Sussex UK) 25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I love this thing. I've had one for nearly a year now and the batteries go on and on. As someone else has already stated....do not use on spam tins. Opens tins cleanly and does not make a mess on the opener either as it cuts the top of the tin off rather than just the inside lid.
It does have a reverse wind button if it does get jammed. Replace batteries when things start slowing down to save any possibility of agro as metioned by previous person.
It's weird.September 9, 2008 P. V. Davis(London) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This must rank as one of the handiest home gadgets I've ever purchased. It arrived this morning and after two AA batteries were fitted, it was ready for action.
Was I prepared for how it works? I knew yes but the visual impact is another matter. Place it on a Can so it sits perfectly at a slight angle and press and let go the button. This little alien then develops a life of it's own as it whizzes around the Can and only stops when the lid has been totally cut. Even if it doesn't cut first time around, it'll go back to the bit that needs more attention and then when satisfied, it just stops and you lift off the lid. It would be a boon for anybody with hand problems and knocks the socks off the conventional openers I have.
