 For me there was a long learning process August 26, 2008
B. Davis (FLA USA)
Maybe because it is my first electric can opener but it took a about three weeks to finally get the hang of using this device. I finally figured out how to line up the "guide pin" with the edge of the can and now I am successful the first try most of the time. One reviewer complained about curls of label paper making a mess on her counter. I find that happens if I keep pressing the lever down even after the wheel and blade have engaged. If I let up on the lever (as instructed) and just let the machine do its thing then the only paper curl is one small one that comes off right at the beginning of the process. Today I bought a big can of grapefruit juice and I'll be glad when I'm ready to open it that the opener is so tall. I'm glad I bought this can opener.
 Wonderful addition August 11, 2008

This is a wonderful can opener. This opener is compact and nice looking, which is a plus when you have little counter space areas. It is very quiet when in use and holds the can perfectly when opening. I also love the knife sharpener in the back. The bottle opener though is not that accessible though and if there is anything negative to say its that. Well packaged and would recomend this to everyone.
The best can opener that I ever owned July 30, 2008

I have owned many can openers during my life time of 98 years, this is the best so far. Very easy to use and it opens cans like cutting through butter. I am so hapy with this product and I recommand it to all.
Great Product - Poor Support July 22, 2008

This is a great can opener - It is sleek, functional, and nice to look at. It does everything advertised and does it well. It made me quickly realize how cruddy our previous opener was. However....
I originally bought this can opener in the chrome version and it arrived defective. Following the STOP warning paper that was included with the opener - I called the 800 number provided. I was very surprised that someone picked up the phone I was greeting with a "Hello?". I thought I had the wrong number for a minute. At any rate - I explained my problem she was less than helpful. I was told to ship it to them (at my own cost) and, if it was determined to be defective, they would either fix it or ship me a new one. My mind did some quick calculations and I knew I'd be without my item for anywhere form 2-6 weeks. I just told her I'll deal with Amazon on it because I wouldn't get any hassles from them. And I didn't.
So - overview - GREAT opener - poor Customer Service.

I bought this can opener because of its wonderful reviews. I bought the chrome version, which is pretty (1 star). It is tall enough to open tall things (star 2). And it can open large things like the huge size can of coffee (star 3). It rips the paper off any can that has paper, like tuna or canned vegetables. As the blade goes round and opens the lid, a scroll of paper crumbles into bits all over the counter (- 1 star). Also, it pops the liquid out of the can shortly after it begins its round (- star) so I have crumbled paper bits in tuna water or canned tomato water all over my white countertop. In short, it makes a mess. Though pretty, I will be donating this baby and getting something that just opens a can without the messy side effects.
