I bought this can opener because my last one broke, and I’m so glad I did! It works so well and is incredibly easy to use. The grip is comfortable, and it opens cans smoothly without any struggle. It also has the added bonus of a bottle opener, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a great addition to my kitchen, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable, user-friendly can opener!

Initially, the handle was very difficult to turn. My wife hated the thing, and even I eventually had a hard time using it. Before tossing it in the trash, I decided to try lubricating the gears; not with WD40 but with something food-safe. I used a few drops of olive oil, but I suppose you could also use canola or vegetable oil. Problem solved! Now this can opener is unbelievably easy to use; like night and day. It instantly went from a one star to a five star product.

This is a perfect can opener that I use at home. Very handy and sturdy and designed well. KitchenAid is a great product and it lasts a long time and performs well. Very pleased with it.

This reliable can opener is super sturdy and easy to use. It cuts smoothly and doesn’t leave rough edges on cans. The handles are comfortable, and it works well on all sizes of cans. A solid choice for anyone needing a dependable kitchen tool! ease of cleaning and very safe

Update: Keep your can opener oiled. I added some oil to the gears, and it works just fine, now.

It worked decently for about 6 months of light use. Easy to figure out. After about 6 months it became more dull and began to rust and squeak. You can see that even without a can the knob is hard to turn. It is hard for me to open one can without a sore wrist, and I am a decently strong mother of young kids. None of my kids can open a can with it. I had a pretty good can opener in the past by Martha Stewart that lasted about 6 years. I'll see if I can find that one again.

I purchased a Swing-a-Way can opener about a year ago, thinking it would be as good as the old worn out one. Wrong- it was awful from the beginning. Had to get another one and purchased this KitchenAid. It works just like they are supposed to and I am very happy with it.

Manual can openers are so much better than the electric ones! And this one is sturdy, but not too heavy. It replaced a cheaper, lighter weight one that we had used for over 20 years and finally needed a new one. I expect this one to last equally well.

I have had a rough time finding a can opener that actually works as it should! I was beginning to think I might never find one! I took a chance and ordered this one when it was on sale, and I am so happy I did! This can opener opens cans! Imagine that! The others I've tried may have worked well a few times, but then they start slipping and won't stay attached, or they won't turn properly and skip sections, or they seize up and won't turn at all! I certainly hope this one lasts a long time!
