Bought when reduced mobility in my dominant hand (resulting from compound broken wrist a year ago) meant I could not open a tin of salmon no matter what other opener I used in the house. This works, I can now eat what I want!
The first one of these I was shipped was clearly used (not the products fault) but since I now have the replacement that I can use it’s fantastic. It’s not very loud and very easy to use. I think there’s a little learning curve at first until you get used to how to operate it with different cans, but I’m excited to finally start using tinned items again. I had issues using manual openers for years as I have weak muscles in my hands and just could never get the handles to turn no matter what brand I tried, and I’ve wasted so much money trying different ones as a result. I wanted one of these as my mother also had one, and swore by it – now I see why. This is brilliant for anyone who struggles with tin openers or perhaps has a medical condition that makes it difficult. Extra happy with the knife sharpener & bottle opener. Would highly recommend.
Haven’t tried the bottle opener yet but it can’t be that bad i’m sure.
The knife sharpener doesn’t work that well for me but that could be the knife i am trying to sharpen, or it could even be the way i am trying to use it but either way, i will persevere with it and test it fully.
The main thing is the can opener is finicky to say the least. It’s a clever design, you lift the section that contains the power button and the magnet up, put the can in and then press down. Now this is where i found it to be finicky, if the can is not in exactly the right spot, then the can opener doesn’t want to know and whilst i can appreciate that this could also be down to how i am trying to use it, i can see people sending this back.
I am going to keep trying because once you do get it working, it’s great but a word of caution, have your hand ready to hold the tin once the lid has been cut off, otherwise the contents could end up all over the place. I didn’t have that happen but i can see how it could.
I think practice makes perfect with this and once i know exactly where to place the tin, then this machine will be a great addition to the kitchen.
Great little can opener that opens cans, bottles and even sharpens knives! I am quite impressed with it overall. It has transformed lunch times and stopped me swearing so much from being covered in bean sauce or tuna juice. Adds to the overall calmness of the household I’d say.
Easy to use- just bear in mind that you need to press down a little harder on this than other electric tin openers that I have used.
The can holding function is a little hit or miss. Ive found that it works with full size cans, but sometimes likes to drop tuna cans… thus ensues some swearing, but still less than before…
Anything else?
It’s a tin opener
From what she tells me it was easy to set up she just opened the box plugged it in and it opens tins – so if you have tins and opening them is too hard with a manual tin opener- this will be for you. Tin opening value.
