An electric can opener is a welcome convenience in most home kitchens and is indispensable to cooks with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. This easy-to-operate version from Cuisinart sports a contemporary brushed chrome finish, making it a more elegant-looking appliance than the electric can openers of yesteryear. At 7-1/2 inches from arm to base, this tool handles containers of many different sizes, from tuna fish tins to large cans of tomatoes. The powerful and sharp blade pierces and cuts lids, ensuring that cans open on the first try. The magnetic lid holder and guiding posts secure cans so they don't tip while the opener is running and aren't released prematurely. The arm is removable for thorough cleaning and the rest of the unit wipes clean easily. Cuisinart backs this can opener with a three-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 The simple made needlessly complex March 5, 2008
D. Sims (Boise, ID United States)
Given that the purpose of a can opener is to open cans, it's astonishing to me how difficult it is to fit any can into the cuisinart so that the blade actually penetrates the can lid.
What you end up with, repeatedly, is a can firmly clamped into place by the magnet and spinning around merrily without the lid being cut open. At all. There's really nothing in the design that gives you a clue where to hold the can to remedy this reticence on the part of the cuisinart to fulfill its calling. You put the can under the blade and the magnet, push down until it clamps, and watch the can whirl aimlessly. The can opener is plastic, so I doubt you could use it to smash open a metal can.
I can't imagine that such a basic flaw in function could have passed unnoticed through any semblance of product testing.
So what you have is a fairly attractive, vaguely art deco (it looks streamlined) electric humming machine that might, on occasion, deign to separate a can lid from the can proper, with some judicious coaxing.

I mistakenly depended on the Cuisinart name to offer a good to high quality can opener.
Ditto on all of the previously mentioned problems. I could have lived with the splashing of the can's contents after the abrupt end of it's opening, but the re-positioning it time and time again just to get it to connect correctly in order to open a can is ridiculous. Most times, it begins turning around the can, and you're thinking it's your lucky day!....just to find out that it never made the actual cut into the can!
I bought a .99 hand can opener last week as back-up, just to be sure I wouldn't be stranded on Thanksgiving day without the ability to open a can, should this one have decided not to work at all!
Funny, I own cheapie can-openers in the past that worked for many years. Make your life easier and don't waste your time, money on this one. The search for a good one continues :)

I agree with the negative reviewers. This can opener is not worth the money, just for the name. Cheaply made and useless.

What a total POS ! February 22, 2007

This is the worst POS for a can opener that I have EVER seen! It lasted almost ONE WEEK before it fell apart. It's CRIMINAL in my opinion to ever sell something this shoddy in design, workmanship and inferior construction.
The first week the opener sort of opened cans OK but not great. By the second week the cutter head was wearing out and would not even hold the can, let alone open it.
ABSOLUTE JUNK IMNHO.
I can't believe Cuisinart would even place their name on this Chinese CRAP!
