Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OneTouch Can Opener
Customer Review: Worth a Try
Summary: 3 Stars
From reading other reviews, my guess is the main problem is inconsistant quality from unit to unit.
My experience has been mainly positive. After going through what seemed like a dozen convential can openers, I chose this one, on a whim. I works as advertised, but mine has 3 flaws:
1. It won't open small cans, such as tuna or tomato paste. Attempting to open these will only run the batteries down.
2. The battery life is shorter than I would like, but nothing like some reviews I've read here.
3. The battery compartment is hard to open.
Other than those 3 issues, I'm happy with my opener.
Customer Review: Dangerous - Beware
Summary: 1 Stars
I had a similar can opener many years ago and thought this was like that one. It separated the top of the can from the bottom by undoing the seam and there was no sharp edged on the lid or container,
I made the great mistake on operating on this assumption and gave one to my 96 year old mother who by the way, is still quite active for her age.
When she used it he lid came off quite easily but she in getting out the food from the can cut her knuckles and finger so severely she had to go to the hospital for stitches.
If you insist on using this product keep your wits about you and do not let your children near it.
Customer Review: Extremely Poor Design

I bought one of these hoping for little and got less. Anyone who rates this item above a 1 star obviously has not had the batteries go dead yet. Once the batteries go dead you are faced with the option of holding a partially opened can above your head and turning a phillips head screw (you with arthritis forget that because it takes about 500 turns for an average size can!) or prying it off since the battery container is between the opener and the can. Unfortunately this opener only lasts for around three cans with fresh batteries. I threw my in the trash along with a partially opened can the second time the batteries died.Customer Review: Poor Opener
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this can opener about 3 months ago because I liked that it was small and opened a can without leaving a sharp edge. It worked great on a couple cans but most of the time it got stuck on the can and I had to fight to remove it.
I got so tired of it getting stuck that I purchased the Hamilton Beach 76606 Pop-Top Electric Can Opener. This can opener is MUCH better and I tossed the One Touch in the garbage because it wasn't worth the effort returning it and I wouldn't dream of giving this piece of junk to someone else.
Bottom Line: Do NOT buy this. If you buy it, you WILL be disappointed!
Customer Review: Total Failure
Summary: 1 Stars
My 85 year old mother saw this on TV and thought it would make the chore of opening cans easier for her. I order one for her and it arrived in just a couple days. We installed fresh batteries and tried it on a regular can of fruit. It only made it about 2/3 of the way around the can and stopped. We followed the included instructions and used the reset button multiple times and tried the other procedure listed in the instructions for removing an opener with dead batteries. We tried for nearly 30 minutes to remove the opener with no success. Frustrated, I packed it up, still stuck on the can, and returned it.
