Description

Product Features * Opens cans of all sizes * Battery operated (Not Included) * Cuts from the side * Saves time, frustration and aggravation * Safe with no sharp edges; Stores conveniently in a drawer With its sleek, cordless design, this handheld can opener makes it quick and easy to open cans of all sizes. To use, simply place the unit on top of the can and press the button. It will automatically make its way around the can's rim--hands-free, opening the can in seconds. Then, just lift the can opener up off the can; its magnet will pick up the lid, which means no more lids falling into cans of food. Plus it cuts from the side, so there are no sharp edges to worry about. The battery-operated appliance will open over 100 cans before needing a new set of batteries, and it stores conveniently in a drawer when not in use. Two AA batteries are required for operation (not included). The egg-shaped electric can opener measures 6-1/2 by 3 by 1-3/4 inches.

Works wonderfully Oct 26, 2007 By M. H Shamp
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RRROYGFXUCZBV I've had the one touch opener for like 2 months and love it. I use it regularly and so far haven't needed to change battery at all. It opens all cans no problem except for really small cans. I like it so well that I made this video to show all my friends my fancy amazing can opener. I also bought another one and gave it to a friend for a present. She loves it too! My kids particularly love using it.

Other reviewers mention problems like opener quit working or else it eats up batteries. That would be frustrating, but I haven't encountered any such problems. When it works, boy does it work good!

One Touch Can Opener Sep 18, 2006 By Robert B. Hall
Only works part of the time. No power (just quits) to open some cans. "Eats" batteries like kids eat candy. This would be a handy dandy item if it had the power to open a can without just "powering" out. It also is very selective in the cans it likes (if it doesn't like the can, it will not work). The reverse switch to remove it from a can it doesn't like is like a real joke in the time it takes to work and then it reverses back and you have to start over again.

Underpowered, leaves sharp edge on can, slow Oct 28, 2006 By Bernie B
I was expecting a device that cut the roll-seam of the lid, but this one cuts the can just below the lid. The resulting edge, while not razor sharp, is hazardous--in point of fact, the instructions warn, "Note: The cut edge of the can may be sharp and shoud be treated with care." contradicting the prominent "NO SHARP EDGES" claim on the packaging.

On a typical can, the opener struggles to complete its task, coming to a near stop at times. Of course this near stalling takes its toll on the battery life. It has a fixed run cycle that will run around a typical 303 can about 1-1/2 times. For large cans you just push the button to restart it for more than one cycle until it makes it all the way around.

When the batteries give out and it comes to a stop in the middle of opening a can, there is a tiny reverse button on the underside that is used to reverse its motion until you get back to the starting poin where it will release he can. There is usually enough power left in drained batteries to backup to the release point, but if the reverse button doesn't work because the batteries are completely dead or the opener is jammed, you must use a screwdrive to turn a release screw on the bottom until the opener backs up far enough to release the can--this manual release operation is challenging (and generally messy) to perform .

The cutter--a sharp edged wheel--is not removable for cleaning, so you are left to dabbing at it with a sponge or cloth (after removing the batteries).

I recommend passing up this gadget.

A Must Have for Every Household Jul 23, 2006 By Less is More
My dad gave me this can opener as a gift and I was shocked at how easy it is to use! I didn't find thr jar opener to be much help, but the can opener is everything that it claims to be. No more difficulty with electric or manual can openers. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to simplify work in the kitchen. Great product!

This darned thing actually works! Mar 11, 2007 By D. Reinstein "marindavid"
Like most of us, I have fallen victim to the phenomenon of impulse buying - on line, in a store, or over the phone after seeing a compelling TV infomercial. More often than not, these purchases wind up either being returned (if they seem worth the time and trouble) , are simply thrown away or sit collecting dust in the garage or deep recesses of my closet. The reason for these sad dispositions is usually the same: they simply do NOT do what they claim. I am particularly pleased to report that this particular device - one that even sounded too good to be true when I first saw it on TV, actually works! That is to say, it does what it says it does: Opens cans easily, without causing strain on the wrist, leaves no sharp edges on the can as it makes the cut below the top lid itself and is powered by small (AA) batteries and is, thus, completely portable.

I love this kind of surprise!

My dubious expectations were reinforced when I first held it in my hand. It is small (about 6"long and 2" wide at it's widest point). I have had electric can openers five times it's size and power that did not work reliably! Further, I found it difficult to believe that 2 AA batteries could provide sufficient power to generate the torque this thing would need to do it's job. I also thought that it looked pretty vulnerable and feared dropping it for the first time.
I was delighted to be found wrong on all counts.

I have dropped it three times. Not only does it still function well, but the case never even came apart (as with many dropped small appliances); the torque created is absolutely adequate to open ANY can - and the device requires, literally, no human effort beyond that of placing it correctly on the top of a can and pushing one button. It stops itself when it is done. The original batteries, by the way, still power it fully after three months of near daily use! Did I already say I am astounded?

It is small enough to be stored on a shelf or in a drawer but not so small as to be easily lost or misplaced. It is a welcome replacement for shelf standing, plug-in electric can openers - and for the old turn-by-hand ones that my aging fingers and wrists can no longer tolerate.

I don't think you can go wrong with one of these - even if you use it only as a back-up. For the cost, it is a great value and much more reliable than most "AS Seen ON TV" products I have experienced.
