Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Heavy, sturdy, and stylish, this tool cuts the top off any size can with ease. It's made of 18/8 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, with red enamel-like handles, and is dishwasher-safe. The opener's handles are shaped for a firm grip; they're weighty enough to provide control, and they have holes to facilitate hanging on a hook or peg. The opener measures 8-1/2 inches long. KitchenAid says the first year of the opener's lifetime warranty against defects is hassle-free; the company will ship a replacement at no cost and without question if a defect is detected. --Fred Brack

Product Description

The oversized knob, super sharp blade and sturdy, comfortable handles allow you to open cans quickly and easily. If food gets on the opener, don't fret, simply run this gadget through a dishwasher cycle for thorough cleaning. It even matches your red KitchenAid appliances!

The opener that comes part of a set is different. You can tell by the lack of chrome at the end of the handles. This is heavy duty and much more sturdy. Some reviews are comparing the wrong product!

This review is from: KitchenAid Can Opener, Red (Kitchen)

My entire kitchen is Kitchenaid. I bought this can opener three years ago. It was awful...difficult to use, shredded the paper at the top of the can's label, and was very difficult to get started. Because I love Kitchenaid products so much, I assumed that this was just a defective can opener, threw it away, and bought another. The second one was even worse! It worked okay the first couple of times, but now it barely cuts at all. It grinds the top of the can, making dents, but won't actually make a cut. Once I can get it started, I cannot finish it because it "messes up" the can pretty badly. This one is going in the garbage as well. :(

This review is from: KitchenAid Can Opener, Red (Kitchen)

I've always preferred hand-operated can openers to electric; they take up less space in the kitchen, work just as well (if not better), and open cans without that annoying grinding noise. When my old faithful can opener became dull, I shopped around for a new one and settled on this KitchenAid model. The main reason I chose it was because it felt good in my hand - heavy enough to feel sturdy, but balanced enough not to feel as though I'm wielding a club. It cuts through cans the first time with a smooth turning mechanism. The gripping handles, while thicker than most, are not too large for small hands. The windmill handle is substantial as well, allowing for a good grip that doesn't cut into the hands.

Although I chose this can opener for its heft, I like it because it does its job well, with a sharp cutting wheel and an easy-to-use design. Oh yeah. It also looks great.
