Really good tin opener. I bought this as I have arthritis in my wrists and fingers and it has helped to eliminate some of the pain. It also has a good grip and is easy to use. I would recommend this product.
Once you master getting the thing to clip onto your tins then it is a breeze but it does take a bit of practice to get the right technique. I find holding the handles further down helps.
Best can opener ever! My grandmother got one, bought another for my parents, and after her death they inherited hers. That is over 10 years ago and they are still going strong. I had to get myself one, too, of course! I always found using other can openers to be challenging, sometimes even painful from how much force I had to use. Not with this one!! So easy. Just grab the metal edge of the lid, close the handles and it clicks, then turn the knob and pretty soon your can is open with no jagged edges. I love this thing, I’m serious. It makes my life easier.
I got one of these tin openners 6 years ago the price then 9 its still working ok.Decided to get my daughters one they’ve gone up a bit in price but still a good price for something that will last.
Just buy it.
I was looking for someone and noticed that I bought mine in Feb 2010. Six and a half years and it’s never missed a beat. Makes short work of Fray Bentos pies and Spam tins. I broke so many openers on those previously, as a matter of fact I bought this with the 15 voucher Fray Bentos sent me to replace a broken can opener 🙂
Brilliant.
I’ve struggled to get into tins for years (crap wrist strength and grip) and this is brilliant.
Update nearly 2 years later – it’s stopped gripping onto a lot of cans recently, so I reckon I’ll be looking for a new one soon :/
The best tin opener I’ve used. The locking mechanism means it’s good for people with weaker grip (such as my elderly mum): use both hands to close it, then when it’s locked, you can concentrate on turning it not holding it tight shut.
I’ve tried all sort of tin openers over the last few years some cheap some expensive, But non of them lasted more than a month or so before they stopped working for some reason or other, Whether is was bad design in the case of the expensive ones or just made of rubbish materials in the case of the cheap ones, But at last I chose this one and touch wood it’s been perfect ever since.
I bought this cause I was fed with struggling with a cheap can opener. it is so easy to use, it opens a can in just a couple of seconds.
A very good product.
It was bought in order to open Fray Bentos Steak & Kidney pies which I find to be one of the most difficult to open. I have four other openers that are useless, but the OXO came up trumps.
Brilliant!
Ok not the cheapest but certainly the best…….ive spent years buying a multitude of can openers and been very dissapointed with the results……this is the bees knees……it does exactly what it says on the tin,or rather the opener…..BUY BUY BUY….
I’d had a “magican” type opener for a while which was getting worse and worse. Tried opening a tin one night and it broke…! So it was a case of a real old fashioned one or maybe this (not a fan of “automatic” ones). This is very sturdy, easy to use and to wash too. It “locks” onto the can which makes it simple. Much better than the previous one and pretty good value.
This is the easiest can opener to use that I have ever had. Over the last few years I have bought several different types including electric and one touch models as I have problems with my hands, but these were all useless for me.
With this Oxo model I was just unpacked the product and was able to use straight away. In fact now I can’t wait to open another can!!
Found it very easy to use and the snap lock keeps the cutting edge on the lid whilst opening the can. Cuts cleanly and easy to release. Also just as important, easy to clean.I would recommend this for anyone who prefers a manual can opener.
This can opener is simple to use, and very little strength is required to operate it. I wish all can openers could be like this one. The only surprise is that it costs less than a tenner!
UPDATE: 5 and a half years on… and it’s still going strong! Still the best can opener in the world!
Great product. Best can opener we’ve owned. Would recommend to friends and family. Give it a try, you can’t go wrong for under a tenner.

At last a can opener that is really easy to use, after buying various different openers that are sitting in the drawer that I find hard to use as I have grip problems, this one is the business. Really easy to turn. Get one now.
