Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart CCO-40BC Can Opener, Brushed Chrome

Customer Review: The simple made needlessly complex
Summary: 1 Stars

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.

Description of Cuisinart CCO-40BC Can Opener, Brushed Chrome

Designed to handle any size can, its heavy-duty body won't slip or slide. The detachable arm offers easy cleaning and the exterior housing wipes clean with a damp cloth. Complete with a power pierce blade.
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
