Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amco Swing-A-Way 107RD Compact Can Opener, Red
Customer Review: Another one bites the dust...
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all let me say that I've used Swing Away can openers since back when they were advertised as the can opener the astronauts used (you may remember back when American companies produced American products for American consumers). When my second regular sized opener finally died I was saddened to see that the current ones are made in China. When I saw that this compact version was still made here I decided to spend a couple bucks extra and go with the smaller model. So much for that plan. The "Made in U.S.A." stamp is no longer on this one either and when you look closely on the label the "Made in China" notation is there. It goes without saying that finish is much worse that on the old ones and the rivet holding the crank is extremely sloppy. So much for another good product.Customer Review: Does everything a can opener should!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unless you're suffering from arthritis, I have never understood why people buy electric can openers. They're noisy, they take up counter space, and they require electricity so they must be placed by an outlet.
I have always been happy with Swing-A-Way can openers, and just replaced my old one of eight years with this one. The grip is better than cheaper made ones you would find at dollar stores and this is the compact version so it stores neatly in my utensil drawer without being an eyesore on my countertop.
Also, surprisingly, this can opener is proudly stamped, "Made in USA".
Customer Review: I's rather use my teeth!

I CERTAINLY THOUGHT I WAS ORDERING A RED CAN OPENER MADE IN THE USA. I BOUGHT AN EXPENSIVE ONE NOT LONG AGO (MINC) AND IT BROKE APART IN NO TIME. I SPENT QUITE AMOUNT OF TIME TRYING TO FIND A BASIC CAN OPENER MADE IN THE GOOD OLD UNITED STATES BUT ALAS I END UP WITH THIS PIECE OF CRAP AND IT'S BLACK NOT RED! THE ITEM IS INFERIOR TO THE ONE I'M TRYING TO REPACE. I COULD HAVE PURCHASED A BETTER PRODUCT AT MY LOCAL SUPERMARKET BUT THEY ONLY SELL APPLIANCES MADE IN CHINA BY CHEAP WOK LABOR!
