5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonderfully, October 26, 2007

I've had the one touch opener for like 2 months and love it. I use it regularly and so far haven't needed to change battery at all. It opens all cans no problem except for really small cans. I like it so well that I made this video to show all my friends my fancy amazing can opener. I also bought another one and gave it to a friend for a present. She loves it too! My kids particularly love using it.

Other reviewers mention problems like opener quit working or else it eats up batteries. That would be frustrating, but I haven't encountered any such problems. When it works, boy does it work good!

3.0 out of 5 stars One Touch Can Opener, September 18, 2006

Only works part of the time. No power (just quits) to open some cans. "Eats" batteries like kids eat candy. This would be a handy dandy item if it had the power to open a can without just "powering" out. It also is very selective in the cans it likes (if it doesn't like the can, it will not work). The reverse switch to remove it from a can it doesn't like is like a real joke in the time it takes to work and then it reverses back and you have to start over again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Underpowered, leaves sharp edge on can, slow, October 28, 2006

By 

Bernie B (California) - See all my reviews

I was expecting a device that cut the roll-seam of the lid, but this one cuts the can just below the lid. The resulting edge, while not razor sharp, is hazardous--in point of fact, the instructions warn, "Note: The cut edge of the can may be sharp and shoud be treated with care." contradicting the prominent "NO SHARP EDGES" claim on the packaging.

On a typical can, the opener struggles to complete its task, coming to a near stop at times. Of course this near stalling takes its toll on the battery life. It has a fixed run cycle that will run around a typical 303 can about 1-1/2 times. For large cans you just push the button to restart it for more than one cycle until it makes it all the way around.

When the batteries give out and it comes to a stop in the middle of opening a can, there is a tiny reverse button on the underside that is used to reverse its motion until you get back to the starting poin where it will release he can. There is usually enough power left in drained batteries to backup to the release point, but if the reverse button doesn't work because the batteries are completely dead or the opener is jammed, you must use a screwdrive to turn a release screw on the bottom until the opener backs up far enough to release the can--this manual release operation is challenging (and generally messy) to perform .

The cutter--a sharp edged wheel--is not removable for cleaning, so you are left to dabbing at it with a sponge or cloth (after removing the batteries).

I recommend passing up this gadget.
