The fundamental problem with this product is that it is not sturdy enough to do the job. Instead of working easily, the two parts spread apart and the cutter doesn't completely cut into the lid. Result: can is not fully open. Heavier gauge metal in the two major parts would solve the problem for a few cents more per item. Tilting the handle down can help minimize the problem but it shouldn't take special skills or body English to operate a simple can opener.

I gave this can opener to my left-handed, red-color-loving mother and she really likes it.

I knocked a star off because when the can opener arrived there were some burrs near the handle one twists to operate the opener. I had to take a file and remove the burrs to avoid cuts while using. I (and you too!) should not have had to do this.

After modifications - no further issues.

Every lefty knows that the world is right-handed, and life is a constant compromise and struggle. This product makes life a little easier.

This can opener is of pretty low quality. The knob mechanism is very hard to turn when opening a can. I bought these for my left handed father, and he prefers using a good quality right hand opener over these.

I am not left-handed but my left-handed fiancee can finally open the dog food cans without my help.

This can opener is very hard to use. My Left-handed son was not able to open a can with it. I am ambidextrous, so I gave it a try with no luck either. It was easier to teach him how to use the electric can opener.

THIS CAN OPENER IS PERFECT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND AS THEY ARE BOTH LEFT-HANDED. IT IS WELL MADE AND EASY TO USE.

Haven't had a hurricane evacuation since we got this, but it will be handy when we do, and the power is off, again. Not sure if I can use a lefty opener, as I've always had to use ones for "righties", but I'll sure try.
