"What a difference a can opener can make!"
I got fed up with buying can openers that did a poor job of opening cans or simply broke. I splurged on this opener and I absolutely love it. Seems built well enough to last a very long time. Cuts open cans with great precision. I've probably gained a few pounds because I can't resist opening another can with it!

"Useless - unable to open many cans"
I bought this because I saw a friend using one and thought it was cool. "no more sharp edges - why would you NOT want one?"

Unfortunately many, many can lids are sealed with glue. After you cut through the can lid, which often requires 2 full passes, the lid does not easily pull off. Instead you must use the "beak" attachment to pry the lid off. This can be physically difficult (which means I'm called into the kitchen to pull the sword out of the stone). About 5% of cans I encounter are still impossible to open this way, and I have to pull out my ugly, rusty, falling apart "traditional" opener to complete the task.

10 minutes to open a can? Memorizing which brands use glue? No way! I will donate this gizmo to some unlucky person, and will buy the "traditional" OXO can opener. Do yourself a favor and follow suit.



"Great Can Opener"
We've had the good grips smooth edge can opener for a few weeks now and are very, very happy with it. It is very easy to open with and does leave a clean edge. I have not had to fight or struggle with a can yet (as I did with my old ones). I did have to teach my family how to use it as it is different from a standard can opener. Once shown, it's very easy to use.

"Good design, bad execution"
Need to complete a couple of turns for the can top to come off, but it does so w/out burrs or sharp edges as advertised. Not the easiest model to seat on a can top. The top grabber teeth are gimmicky.

"Certainly better than traditional can openers"
I purchased this item from another retailer. I made this buy because of the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen.

Pros: Smooth, easy action; no sharp edges.

Cons: Bulky; difficult to attach to can (though I'm getting better).

Summery: Works as advertised.

What our customer's say!

"great success", looks good.... could be quite a cudgel if you plan on having impromptu bilingual blood fests in your kitchen.

No doubt a metal can opener would server better in such a circumstance, but unless you're ron burgundy, by all means, purchase this.

"GREAT CAN OPENER", I HAVE ONE OF THESE CAN OPENERS AND BOUGHT THIS ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE LIKED IT SO MUCH. EASY TO USE AND NO SHARP EDGES.

"Throw out the old one, this is THE one to get....", Love the smooth edges and ease of use. It took a few tries to make sure I was doing it right, because I was so used to my old one. This is so much easier and no ore cutting of fingers :)

"Excellent product!", This is an excellent product. OXO seems to know how to do these things well.
Will definitely buy more Oxo in future.

"different can opener", This is a good can opener but takes a while to figure it out. Most everyone else in my family loses patience with it. If you stick to it and learn how to work it it is very nice.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"18 months later...still going strong", I try to hold off on my reviews for kitchen products because I really want to make sure the durability is there. Back in February 2007, when I bought this can opener, I was very skeptical of the product's claims to room lids and leave behind smooth edges.

Now, 18 months later, I can give this can opener a 5-star review.

Here's my quick thoughts:

1. The can opener requires some practice to get the hang of it.
2. You'll likely spill a little of the can's contents at first.
3. It is easy to hold and even easier to clean.
4. It is a little bulky, so it doesn't fit in our silverware drawer.
5. The can opener works as good today as the first day it arrived.


"disappointed", Worked well for a short while and then the gears began to strip and now I must go around the can 2 or 3 times before I can get the lid to come off. Also, large cans require me to "walk around the can" because they are too heavy for the Oxo to spin them around.

"Great Product - Doesn't Last", This is a really amazing product. It works so well. But after a while it no longer opens a can. Takes many turns around the can to open... and then leaves areas not open so you have to pry open the can. I would expect a product of such apparently quality (and price) to last longer. After buying this, we threw away all our other can openers because this one is so much better. Now we regret that. Unless they figure out how to make it more durable, this product will die. I have contacted OXO to see what they will do. Their web site says 100% Customer Satisfaction.

"Durable, easy-to-use, high-quality...", Being that the ice cream scooper I got from OXO, awhile back, was great, they were the first one I thought of when shopping around for a durable, high-quality & easy-to-use smooth edge can opener. And after just one use, I instantly knew my decision to purchase this product was the right one!! Turning the handle on this can opener was effortless, and SO easy!! I'll definately think of OXO the next time I'm in the market for other kitchen products.

"Short life span...", For 18 months I loved this easy to use opener. Recommended it to everyone in the family. Then it just quit working. It opens part of a can - very frustrating - or doesn't open any of it. There was no gradual build-up to failure, it just quit working. For $20, I expected more. I expected more from Oxo - one of my favorite brands. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because I did love it so much while it worked...sigh...
