Product Description

Don't miss the grand opening of the new OXO GOOD GRIPS i-Series Can Opener. Its sharp, stainless steel cutting mechanism easily pierces the can, and its cushioned, non-slip handles lock shut to hold the can securely. Die cast aluminum construction makes this Can Opener indestructible and a soft turning knob makes it comfortable to turn. We've incorporated a handy feature most often found on electric can openers: a magnet. Our magnet arm engages the can lid to prevent the lid from falling into your food, with a magnet strong enough to hold even a coffee can lid. Neatly dispose of the lid by pressing the magnet arm to release the lid directly into the trash.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Hand Can Opener I've EVER Used, March 27, 2005

I love this thing. I have an electric can opener as well, but since we got one of these for Christmas, the electric opener hardly gets used. This is easy for people with weak wrists because it locks closed. Also, the magnet is handy to have.

Be warned. The product description states that this is dishwasher safe, but the Oxo website says handwash only:

I have lots of high school students that drop by the house and help cook from time to time. They all love this thing. Ever seen youth excited about opening cans? I have since we got this.

From a guy that loves gadgets, this is one of my favorite toys in the kitchen. It is a bit pricey, but worth it if you want to splurge a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars No doubt the best can opener out there, July 2, 2007

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Magnetic Locking Can Opener (Kitchen)

It's so nice to not get your hands dirty when you're opening a can of sauce. Between the smooth edges and the magnet, you can be sure that this is a safe and mess-free purchase.

In the beginning, I worried that I was being suckered for my love of gadgets.(Side bar- the OXO peeler probably isn't worth your while, though the grip is nice it's not 'there' like this product.) However, this one really has gone the distance. I have owned it for nearly 3 years and without regrets. I'm buying one for my grandmother who fell in love with it during her visit and maybe in another year I'll replace this one.

The only improvement I'd make is that it should be easier to clean. It's comparable to other can openers in that way. But in every other way it's a fabulous, well-worth it buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable Kitchen Tool!, May 13, 2006

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Magnetic Locking Can Opener (Kitchen)

The electric can opener....which screwed cans up more often than not anyway...now goes to the trash heap. This Oxo opener is fantastic. I can't even believe I'm writing a review on a can opener of all things, but this thing is just amazing. Works effortlessly and with no mess at all. Forget electric: this is the way to go!!!
