1 Stars Just can’t find a can opener that works!
I’ve bought about 4 of these last year and they work a lot better than the others! It gets rusty, it skips, it only opens half of the can, and it only take about a month or so for it to completely break. I’ve tried every can opener on the market and the only ones that seem to work a little tiny bit longer than the manuals are the automatic can openers. (Which I can’t stand). I dont care what anyone says this thing isn’t worth the money!
3 Stars Worked When It Stayed On “Track”
As my title implies, this can opener kept going off, for lack of a better word, “track.” I couldn’t make it entirely around a can without it “riding up” and, essentially, falling off the can. I used it on several DIFFERENT cans thinking maybe it was one company’s particular construction that was causing the problem, but it happened with EVERY can I tried to open.
I was really surprised (and disappointed) because this got such great reviews. Maybe I just got a bad one? It DID work when it stayed ON the can. . .
1 Stars defective
can opener only opens half the can- then skips and inch and opens the other half.leaving you with a mess,and its all size cans. DO NOT BUY-
i will throw it away-its only ten dollars not worth sending back.
5 Stars Finally
Finally a can opener that works. I’ve bought both cheap and expensive ones. This is the only one that works like they used to, before every appliance had a gimmick.
5 Stars Great Can Opener!
I’ve tried other “trendy” can openers, but they haven’t lasted long. They either break or just stop opening cans. I always go back to the tried and true Amco. The one my Mom used to have. It has a smooth operation and comfortable grip. Opens the first time every time. Even on those small 6 ounce cans. I love it!
