Product Description
With a large, smooth, plastic twist handle that fits nicely in the palm, this can opener operates with a minimum of effort. Flexible rubber fins on the handle absorb the tension necessary to keep the opener in place, while sharp, stainless-steel teeth bite into lids with the agility of a great white shark. A built-in bottle opener completes the design. Sturdy construction and a large twisting knob make this one of the best can openers on the market. Hand-washing is recommended. OXO Steel Can Opener is a kitchen essential. Stainless steel blades make it durable, and the large, soft turning knob is easy to manage. This Can Opener also features a built-in bottle cap opener.

I grew up with electric can openers that inevitably broke or had a hard time attaching to the can, then the contents often spilled as I removed it from the magnetic holder. Back then the alternative was a hand-held manual one that was actually painful to use.
After marrying we bought an electric can opener which broke soon thereafter. While waiting for the day when it was to be repaired (which ended up being never), I bought this OXO manual can opener thinking it would be a temporary and inexpensive solution. It is awesome. We have been using ours for about 5 years and it is still going strong. It is fast, easy to use, and comfortable. There is no pain or discomfort when holding it. It cuts the can cleanly and is just plain easier to use than electric can openers. We are sticking with the OXO can opener and not going back to electric openers.
I highly recommend this can opener, ditch your electric can opener and make things easier on yourself!

I'm a totally disabled Veteran. My wife is disabled also with a severe upper back and neck problem that affects her hands. She doesn't have much strength in her hands. This can opener is so easy for both of us to use! I believe it's because this product is very well made. It does a great job. I'm ordering another one. It makes a good gift also.

As a former Chef I am picky about using only quality kitchen utensils, and I heartily endorse this can opener. Most manual can openers have a tendency to hang up or run off the lip of the can, but not this beauty. It stays on the lid without ever jumping off and has incredible ease of operation due to it's large mechanical advantage and handle construction.
This may look like a cheap can opener from the local retailer, but it's ease of use, durability, and the fact that it is dishwasher safe (many aren't) makes this the best value for the can opener dollar imaginable.

Open quick!
It always seemed like I needed a new can opener every year. They would get nasty, dull, harder to use, the crank would break, etc. Not so with the OXO. Read more

Better than electric...
I bought a few 'lesser' openers from local stores only to have them bend up and become useless. This thing feels like a tool you'd use on a workbench - no bendy here. Read more

Excellent Product
Best can opener I have owned. Goes through the dish washer without rusting and the handle is solid enough that it doesn't snap when I turn it too hard.

Excellent can opener
I had almost given up on finding a good manual can opener. I have always used an electric can opener but occasionally needed a manual one for those over-sized cans. Read more
