I got this can opener about 6 months ago and I remain happy with it. It took a bit to get used to it and at first there was a little fiddling required to set it on the can - it is a bit different to use.

I have had a lot of can openers in the last few years and so far this has lasted the longest in terms of blade sharpness. A very nice surprise as I was beginning to believe all can openers became dull almost immediately! Despite my throwing it into the dishwasher it works as well as it did when I first got it.

The mechanics of it - the one handed action - I think you will either love or hate. I find it very nice and can be opening the can while draining it over the sink in one motion. Setting it on the can at first can be a bit awkward but that is really a *learning curve* kind of thing and after you use it a few times it will become second nature. I will say that some cans are easier to open than others and some hand strength is required..more for some cans than others. You can use both hands to squeeze the grips if needed but if hand strength is an issue probably an electric can opener would be the best option in general.

I would make this purchase again and I am happier with this can opener than any one I have bought in in the last few years.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Have Found This Opener To Be Great, November 9, 2007

I bought this opener a couple of years ago and have had no problems. It's easy to use. Equally important, it has lasted lo these many years. (I have never been able to get an electric can opener to work beyond a year.) But most important of all, I have only one arm and this device has been a life saver.

Recommended by Alton Brown, this is only OK. The cutter tends to go into the fluid. My simple traditional can opener seems to work better without getting the cutter blade into the can contents as often.
