One Touch Can Opener - Stop Fighting with Cans and Start Opening Them
Got this as a gift from a loving aunt. Spent maybe 30 minutes trying to open a can. It ran about 5 seconds each time, stopped and stuck on the can. I could not remove it without my husband's help. We changed batterie 3X; my machinist minded spouse tells me the motor sounds too weak to do any good. We certainly had a lively conversation about its merits. I gave up, grabbed the old reliable hand turned can opener that says it is used by Nasa and has yet to fail me. Do not even think it will work and that this was a lemon. See all the other reviews! I junked it!

This can opener does open a can by itself, if it is a regular size can, but sometimes it takes more than 'one touch' to get it started. Once started, it goes all around the can and cuts it open from the side. It comes to a stop automatically. The top of the can comes off with the can opener when you take it off, but it does leave the very top edge of the can itself with a razor sharp edge and also leaves a 'shaving' or sliver of material hanging; paper or metal? Not sure, but usually leaves this little shaving of material you have to be careful not to get in your food. I have been using it, but I use it with care. I would not recommend it for a household where children may use it, I think there may be a saftey issue here.Customer Review: one touch can opener HALTS

I was pleased with this can opener for a while...maybe 2 months..used it maybe 5 times a week. There was no indication that the batteries were failing. The other night I started to open a can, the opener worked for about 1 inch, then suddenly STOPPED...I cannot release it to see if a battery change will work. The opener is holding onto the can with the perseverance of an alligator. It looks like the only way I can release the contraption is to force it, thus breaking it. I shall return to the "hand crank" openers. The toll free number on the opener ( for help) is not useable in my area ( Springfield-Northampton Massachusetts).An email to address found on internet resulted in responder knowing nothing about item.Customer Review: One of the best

I have used at least a dozen can openers in my life. This is the easist and most thorough in opening a can. I gave it as a gift to my neighbor, and she told me it broke after about a year. I reported this to the Co. on the web site. They said they ordinarly didn't cover this on their 30 day warrenty, but because of the circumstances they would send another one. Which they did. My neighbor was thrilled. I had "repaired" her old one. She was not letting it turn itself off after finishing cutting through the lid. I showed her how to reset it from underneath, and complete its cycle. No problems now. I now have 2 openers, both over a year old. They work everytime following the explicit directions.Customer Review: Help Me, I'm Stuck!

This can opener is a good idea, really cute to watch it work and it's nice to put it on the can and go do something else while the opener opens the can---until the darn thing runs out of battery power which it does very frequently. When the battery wears out mid cycle there's no way to get it off the can except to work it and pry it off, endangering your hands while you do this since it leaves very sharp raw edges. My sister also has one (these were gifts to us) and she won't even let her kids use it because of the sharp edge it leaves. So, If you are looking for an easy to use can opener, like my elderly mother was when SHE bought one, keep looking, there has to be something better out there.
