4.0 out of 5 stars Works great - two issues to keep in mind, September 28, 2009

This opener works great, even for my mother who has some hand strength issues. If you buy cans of tuna, salmon, chicken, etc. and press the liquid out with the lid, this won't work as the lid doesn't fit in the can as with a traditional opener. (Keep the old one on hand for these items.) Also, product canned in liquid is usualy quite full and spills easily when removing the lid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throw out that traditional can opener and get a safe edge opener, January 27, 2007

This is a wonderful high quality safe edge can opener. The plastic handle feels high quality and the mechanism is all metal, it feels like there is a bearing for the spindle that rests against the can.

The open is very easy to use, you set it up against the can and start turning the handle. It will automatically set the cutter, and you just turn until you get all the way around the can, turn it half a turn backwards and the opener pops off. Then you pull the lid off the can, and it if is tight, the opener has a built in clamp to help remove the lid.

The safe edge openers are so much better, they don't require you to fish for lids and the edges are not nearly as sharp so you are much less likely to cut yourself. They also engage the lid better so the don't slip like traditional can openers can. This is one of the higher quality safe edge can openers I have seen, but any should be adequate.

I like using this type of opener rather than electrics that sometimes drop the lid into the can contents. I've had a Kuhn Rikon previously, but after a while it stopped cutting, so I bought this replacement. It works very well most of the time, but I have encountered a few cans that it just doesn't cut, so I have to revert to the old electric opener. It's better than most others out there, but not perfect.
