1.0 out of 5 starssave your money - these are not as good as the old Swing-A-Ways
By Robert Green on April 2, 2011
Color: RedItem Package Quantity: 1
I can confirm that these aren't the Swing-A-Way openers of yesteryear that have inspired generations of loyal followers. The old Swing-A-Way openers were made in the USA and lasted for decades. I've bought two of the current models in the past 5 years based on the quality of the old openers I remember from growing up, and they've both been duds. Instead of decades, now they're wearing out in just a year or two - the knurled tooth on the wheels that grip the can rims give up the ghost much earlier than they should - probably softer steel from the new cheaper manufacturing. I can literally see a groove on the teeth on the wheel where the cans have worn out the teeth, and I can promise you that we eat way less canned food than my parents and grandparents did! I'm about to buy my third can opener in 5 years, and I can assure you that it WON'T be another one of these shoddy openers!!!! These are cheap steel, wears out in a year or two - don't waste your money!

5.0 out of 5 starsSwing a way made in China info
By Stacey on October 27, 2011
Color: BlackItem Package Quantity: 1
The same people who used to make the swing a way's (in USA) are making a can opener called Ez-Duz-It that is exactly like the swing a ways but they are made in USA and the better quality that we were accustomed to with the old swing a ways. They are being sold at Fantes.com currently for 6.99. I received mine and indeed it is exactly like my old swing a way except it doesn't have the bottle opener on the side, I can live with that.

There is nothing bad to say about this can opener. It works. It does the job. That's all you need in a can opener. My cans that were previously closed are now open.

3.0 out of 5 starsNOT made in the USA
By J. Stewart on June 4, 2010
Color: WhiteItem Package Quantity: 1 Verified Purchase
I purchased this item and received it yesterday (June 3rd, 2010). To clear up any inquiry, the can opener I received (Amco Swing-A-Way 407WH) is NOT made in the USA: it has no stamp indicating origin on the can opener (the old ones said Made in USA), and the package states "Made in China." So if you are looking for an authentic Swing-A-Way can opener made in America like I was, try somewhere else because Amco has sold this model overseas.

BTW I compared it to our existing Swing-A-Way, they are very similar in weight and feel, with the action between the gears on the China model being a bit looser/less precise than the old one. Can't say how it will hold up, but the quiet betrayal is disappointing.

1.0 out of 5 starsBeware Lightweight Swing-Aways Made in China
By B. L. Johnson on October 1, 2011
Color: RedItem Package Quantity: 1
I received this item 9/2011. It is made in China and is not heavy durable metal like the U.S.A. model. Since 2008, models 107, 407, 709 and 6090 appear to be made in China and are inferior to the original which had "Made in USA" stamped on the metal arm. I will no longer purchase Swing-a-Way brand due to quality issues.

1.0 out of 5 starsA dirty rotten shame
By axelrod on March 2, 2011
Color: BlackItem Package Quantity: 1
My old Swingaway opener lasted decades. It finally got worn out and started to not completely open cans, especially right at the seam on the side of the can. My new Swingaway opened the first can perfectly. End of satisfaction. It failed to open the second can correctly, leaving me to pry the cover up with a bottle opener. It now - a month later - fails to open any can properly.

I don't know where the old one was made, but the new one is just another piece of "made in China" junk. Perhaps their quality control let a bad one through. All I know is the old maxim, Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I will not buy another Swingaway.

1.0 out of 5 starsProduct no longer available. Boooo!!
By Reviewer on November 30, 2010
Color: WhiteItem Package Quantity: 1
This is the very best hand-held (portable) can opener ever made. I've seen more than a hundred of them and never-ever a broken one.

The problem is that you can no longer buy this except in thrift stores or flea markets. The new stuff currently sold under the same name is PURE JUNK. It is no longer made in USA and the quality of material and labor is seriously lacking. It still looks like a duck but it's only a quack.

I keep finding the real openers in thrift stores and always buy them after making sure they are made in USA. They usually range in price from ten to fifty cents and often have some rust on them due to dishwasher treatment. I clean them from dirt and grease with Windex or some soapy detergent, rinse them well with hot water and soak over night in Evapo-Rust. In the morning they are clean as new (see my picture attached).

If you are lucky to find one or two of these openers at a thrift store, give them a good degreasing cleaning, de-rusting, and never put them in a dishwasher. They will serve you a lifetime.

3.0 out of 5 starsUsed to be the best...now, a little to be desired
By Goldfinger on January 17, 2012
Color: WhiteItem Package Quantity: 1
I grew up with a real Swing-A-Way mounted to the door frame in our kitchen. It worked like a charm. As an adult I've tried many can openers that are far more stylish (and expensive,) but they always failed eventually. Usually it's the gears. So I went back to the tried and true, but this time the handheld version. It works every time without hassle. I recently purchased another just for opening canned dog food. I soon noticed it was rusting. My old one never rusted. Upon further inspection I see a "Made In USA" on the old one and nothing on the new one. It appears that the new ones are made elsewhere and from inferior materials. Too bad. If you are unsure where it's made, just open the device all the way and you can find the stamp if it's from the USA. Check my photos to see what I mean.
