comment
" ...  After almost 4 months of use, I can say that this is, without doubt, the very best can opener I have ever owned and that includes sundry electric can openers as well. ... Over the years I have purchased various types of can openers from various vendors, and none - absolutely none - have worked as well as this one.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Whoa, where has this been all my life?!  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have gone through several regular can openers in the past few years that ALWAYS end up breaking within a year so I decided to spend a little more money and try this one. ... I will update this review once I’ve had it for awhile!  ...  "

comment
" ...  this can opener leaves edges on the lid which is how i cut my finger .  ...  "
comment
" ...  However, after fighting with this can opener to actually cut the lid but instead cutting my hand, I firmly resolved to write a negative review to save others from the same can opener misery.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Magnet on the end to capture the cut can lid isn't strong enough to pull it out if it didn't completely sever the metal.  ...  "
