KitchenAid Classic Can Opener, White

Nobody told me that part of being an adult was dealing with the worst can openers of all time. I mean, they just open cans. Can’t they just do that ONE THING without crapping the bed? Apparently, no. I’ve been through more can openers in my adult life than I’d like to remember. Expensive ones, really expensive ones, cheap ones, free ones, old ones, new ones, ones from before they were more than just a sharp piece of metal and a handle... they all sucked.The expensive ones didn’t suck right away, but in the end (>5 years) I’d be back to using them to punch a hole, then moving them, then punching another hole, then moving them...until I could get into the can. Ridiculous. I even found one by Farberware that didn’t crap out for almost two full years! I thought that was the one! It wasn’t.Decided to try this one. So far it’s amazing. Doesn’t hurt my hand like I’m opening the can myself instead of the thing I bought to open the can, doesn’t jam up, doesn’t send pieces flying, doesn’t jolt so hard you’ve got food to clean up, doesn’t indent the can but refuse to actually make a cut, doesn’t grind up tiny pieces of metal and label into your food...We’ll see how it holds up. I’m not holding my breath. But for now, it works like a dream. Quick, easy, efficient, and OPENS CANS.

This can opener works great. So far it has lasted through daily use. It seems like all can openers made these days to break after a few months of use. I am hoping to get a few months of use at the least out of this one. The handles are pretty long and provide good leverage for opening cans. The handle that turns the can opener works pretty smooth even when cutting the can open. So far I am happy with it. Only time will tell if this is truly a great can opener though. If it breaks down prematurely I will make sure to update my review. Otherwise, it will still be working great.Dimensions of the can opener can be seen in the photos uploaded below.Pros:*Long handles for good leverage on the can*Operates smoothly even when cutting into the cans*InexpensiveCons:*None so farAdditional Considerations:This is a "cutting" can opener. This is not one of those can openers that pop the top off without cutting into the can.Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

This has been a great inexpensive can opener. My family has used it for the past few months without any issues.This is the first "premium" can opener I've used. Prior to this we've always used the cheap metal openers that you can see in my pictures next to the KitchenAid opener. My experience with this opener is night and day compared to using the old one. It's much more comfortable in the hand since it has thick rounded handles. The old opener would always hurt when you had to squeeze it down to start opening any can. This one is also really solid. It weighs a little over 8 ounces while my old one was about 3 ounces. So far it's been really smooth and trouble-free for opening cans. It also looks great so I don't mind leaving it lying around for people to see. It can also open wide in case you need to open an especially large can like you find at warehouse stores.The one thing that I don't like is that it's not dishwasher proof so you have to be sure to hand wash it. If you're someone with smaller hands you might want to try it out before buying it because those thick handles might be just a little too thick for you. I'm 6'4 and they are great for me but my wife who is about a foot shorter sometimes has to use both hands to squeeze the handles together when first opening some cans.Overall this has been a welcome replacement for the old opener we had. If they would add a bottle opener that would make this product even better but I can live without it.The last thing I would add is that there is a mystery hole right next to the hand crank. You can see it in one of my pictures. It almost looks like a cigar cutter because when you squeeze the handles together it had a metal blade that slices through it, although it's not sharp. Maybe this is a secret feature but if you know what it's for be sure to let me know in the comments section of my review!

Good product

A little pricey for a manual opener but glad I purchased it. I have arthritis in my hands & this one turns soo easily & smoothly. More reliable than my electric opener and, of course, can use for any size can. My only complaint is, like others have said, it leaves one tiny piece attached every time so you have to use a knife to lift the lid up but then it twists off easily once you get ahold of it..

Great

So far this is really easy to use and glides through cans in no time. Have only had it about a week or so. Has gone through the top rack of the dishwasher fine without problems. Would recommend. A little pricey but worth it. The handle is a little big if you have tiny hands like me but perfect for my husband. I have arthritis and I’m able to use these most of the time on my own. Recommend to any other kitchen I fans as well

Picture this. You’re trying to open a can and you set your can opener on the edge and hear that click. You start turning the handle and wham!, the can hits the floor because you have a crappy, made in china, flimsy, no good for anything can opener.Not if you have a Kitchenaid!!! This is a sturdy, reliable can opener that never fails to open your cans. Whether you top cut or side cut, this opener delivers the goods to your saucepan worry-free every time.
