I purchased this can opener, also at Wal Mart for $6.00. I have used Rival products for years, so I thought it was a great buy at first. It kind of opened up a few cans, but after that, it goes about a quarter inch and stops. If there was a way to give it no stars I would do that. I replaced it today with a better one, not a Rival.

This can opener sucks!! I bought mine from Walmart. For $6, you get what you pay for. I have a hard time trying to get the thing to grip the can. I am buying another one and not Rival!

As most of the other reviewers hear, I too purchased this can opener from good old Waly World. First out of the box impressions is plasticy. When I used it for the first time I was surprised at how noisy it actually was. It vibrated the counter tops and everything on them. It also struggled to open cans larger than most, demonstrating lack of torque from the motor. This item although inexpensive, is cheap in design and build, and your money would be better spent buying something else. In most cases you get what you pay for and this is no different. If your looking for a step up from a old hand opener I suppose this will work, but if you are looking for something that will last for more than a year then I would scrape up the extra twenty bucks and buy something of better quality. Good luck!

I have long owned a Rival can opener but, after some 25 years, the drive wheel had lost its bite, and was not propelling the can. What I particularly liked about it was that the cutter was a wheel, which always left a clean edge to the can. The drive wheel was held in position by a screw and required only a new toothed wheel, easily changed, had it been available. I thought this model(CN738) worked in the same way, but see that its cutter is a blade. It will do, of course, but it's not perfect.

I bought this (Rival CN738-W) from Wal-Mart, not Amazon. It worked okay for some small cans. It would not keep its grip on any can bigger than a small soup can. I used it maybe 5 times. I then tried to open a large can of soup. It kept stopping and finally quit. I thought to myself 'Well. maybe this can is too much for it' but then it would no longer open any can. Don't bother with this waste-of-time product!

I had to revert to my 7-year-old Rival can opener, because the new one would not grip the can rim.Rival CN738-W Automatic Can Opener

This is my first total failure in a variety of products I've ordered from Amazon.com. Needless to say, I'm not a happy camper at the moment.

this rival can opener is useless. tips over while opening cans. drops cans when nere opened.

I don't know what it is with me and can openers, but it took me a few tries to finally get this thing to work. It wouldn't grab the can, maybe it's just me????????

Broke after 3 uses there was a burning smell from motor
