1.0 out of 5 stars Zyliss let me down with this product!!!, April 5, 2009

This review is from: Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, White (Kitchen)

I have several products made by Zyliss and have found them to be excellent quality, but this Zyliss Safe Edge can opener is a great disappointment for both ease of use and safety. I have found cans vary in ease of opening, but some cans are very difficult to open with this. After going around three or four times, the lids still did not pry off, but I had to bend them to get the product out. A greater concern is that it leaves small filings of metal on the lid that fall into the pan when the contents of the can is poured out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bit odd. Quit after 2 months, December 20, 2008

This review is from: Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, White (Kitchen)

I really like the edge type openers and will try to find another.

As others have mentioned, this can opener requires an extra step to get the lid off after it is opened. I found that to be a pain.

After 2 months of use, it has stopped opening cans for no apparent reason. I am thinking the blade has worn out already. This opened is going back.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new way to open cans, June 25, 2008

I will never go back to a traditional can opener. Instead of sharp edges and the chance that a dirty lid can fall into the can, this takes off the lid in one smooth piece. The first time you try it, you will not be sure if you actually opened the can because of where it cuts the can. This is safe for kids to use. I used to only use electric can openers, but hated the sharp edges. You can open your can just as quickly with this and tuck it away in a drawer. It seems that we have so many appliances on our countertops already, so no need to have a can opener there as well. I highly recommend this product. I am surprised it is not more mainstream by now!
