    Bought a cheap one before, it never felt confident & broke after couple months, this one glides through tin lids like butter, gives the impression it’s here to stay. I hope so.

    Strong, quite ‘weighty’. Opens all tins very well even the small Tuna tins. We have purchased quite a few over the years and this one is definitely the best one.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSuper strength, endurance and accuracy. That’s what Robocop brought to the mean streets of future Detroit, and this tin opener is cleaning up things in my kitchen just as good. There are no tins big or small this opener cannot deal with. Quick and simple, just love it.

    We’ve had issues with so many can openers failing or just not opening cans very easily at all. We were so glad to get this and discover that it opens cans like a dream. Thank you.

    I dont normally do product reviews but had to for this one. I was recently recommended to buy this can/tin opener from my friend who is a tour caterer. He told me it has never let him down yet so wanted to know what the buzz was about. After opening countless tins of ravioli I can see why he recommended great produc

    At last a can opener that works, early days yet, but no problems so far, lets hope it stays that way, and it’s not another can opener that gives up after a month or two.

    Of all the tin openers I’ve ever bought in my adult life, whether cheap, expensive, battery operated etc, THIS is by far the very best. If you’re tired of your tin opener breaking or stopping working after a few weeks – buy this! Buy it now!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was tired of breaking cheap can openers before, so I tried to spend a little bit more of money with this one, and so far I’m happy with it. I use it every morning with my baked beans cans and it didn’t deteriorate or get lossy after a long time. It’s solid and sturdy!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis opener is simple and with real weight and heft. May not be the neatest cut but it is almost without effort. So far I have not found a can shape or size it does not deal with in the same efficient way. A really good buy.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersIf, like Mr Bolan, all you want is easy-action, this tin opener’s for you.
    The action is much smoother than any other I’ve owned, helped in part by the superior leverage afforded by the huge turning handle/crank/key (whatever it’s called – you know what I mean).
    Even my son, who has the fine motor skills of a hippo & can’t use a knife & fork without disaster striking, was able to access baked beans with this chunky monkey!
    It’s also easy to clean by hand thanks to the fact it opens right out and it doesn’t appear to be phased by the dishwasher either.
    As an added bonus I discovered last weekend that it also opens bottles (not by itself obviously….it’s good but it’s not magic)
    I can’t comment on longevity yet as only had it for 6 months, but so far it’s head & shoulders above any other I’ve had including the OXO Good Grips.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersHave had so many hopeless can openers over the year and none seem to work reliably or fail early. This is a heavy piece of equipment that feels like it will last a very long time. It is simple to use and very effective. Yet to find anything it cannot open.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis can opener is fantastic! I literally broke three different ones trying to open a Fray Bentos tin. These things are impossible to get into and with every other tin opener I tried they just wouldn’t do it.

    I bought this as a last ditch attempt and it worked flawlessly! It works perfectly with ever other tin type I’ve tried too.

    It feels really well made and gives a larger opening area to accommodate for deeper rims and larger cans.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis tin opener works (with other tin openers, you just go around and around but the lid stays on). The swing a way unit opens the tin in one revolution of the can. Best kitchen accessory ever!

    This is the best opener ever. it swings right open so allows easy access to larger cans like fray bentos pies etc. After buying a couple of other brands on amazon which were useless I am so pleased I tried this one.

    So far, (after two days of use), this is the can opener of my life. I have never used one so good before – and I may never again.

    So far – a big ‘wow’.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe large operating “key” sets this apart from ANY other Tin / Can Opener ever made !! Easy on the Hand and (with it’s increased leverage) brutally efficient on even the most stubborn Cans. My Housemates have been through almost a dozen cheapies in the last 6 Months, then discovered MINE that I had inadvertently left in the Kitchen one night, and they’ve been begging me to let them use it ever since. I’ve had MY Swing-a-Way Marvel for 4 Years now, and I think my Housemates are going to love me for buying another one just for them.
