Product Description

Amazon.com Review

It seems an affront to simply call this product a can opener. Sure, it does that, but it takes can opening to a new level by making safety a priority. It carefully opens cans from the side and not the top, so that you won't get your fingers messy trying to retrieve the lid. But best of all, a special feature allows it to smooth the edge of the can as it cuts, leaving behind a flat--and safe--surface. It also includes a built-in a knife sharpener for convenience. And no hassling with extra electrical cord lying on your counter top: a retractable feature tucks the extra cord away neatly into the base. --Linda Dahlstrom

5.0 out of 5 stars No more sharp edges, June 23, 2000

This can opener is really great. No more sharp edges to cut your fingers. I can open any size can and it goes around it really smooth. I think maybe one time with a square can it did get stuck. But I would give this a big 5 star. Love it.

The product looks nice, but there are many cans that the can opener simply does not open. Many times you have to run the can opener around the can a second time. I am going to buy another can opener, and this time it will be the regular "sharp edge" type.

I have had a few electric can openers in the past. I have also purchased several of the smooth edge manual can openers. I've found the electric can openers messy and unsightly on my kitchen counters. The manual openers were always too hard to use. This opener is the best one I've ever owned! I even feel comfortable having my small children use it, because it's simple to operate, and the can edges are smooth enough for them to touch!
