Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 77203 Electric Can Opener, Metallic
Customer Review: Finally, a can opener we really like!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this can opener as a Valentine's gift for my wife. I know, it doesn't sound very romantic. But actually she was quite touched, because she was frustrated to the point of yelling at our old openers. (Don't worry, I gave her flowers and other stuff as well...)
The new can opener is very easy to use. We no longer struggle to align a can just right, which was a real nuisance on several of our previous can openers. It doesn't splash at the end of a cut, which would really frustrate us when we wanted to cook quickly and didn't want to have to clean up yet another mess. The machine is actually attractive, which is something I never thought I would say about a can opener. It is very easy to clean; you can push a button at the top and the entire chrome-plated cutting mechanism pops out for easy thorough cleaning in the sink, so that you don't have to worry about getting water into the motor. The cord is easily shoved into the unit so you only have to expose as much cord as it takes to reach the outlet. It also operates quietly, which we appreciate in our already noisy home (two young boys.)
As others have mentioned, the magnet folds down when not in use, making the unit more attractive. But I really like this feature because it also covers up the sharp cutting blade, making it safer to leave out on the counter where curious hands might investigate.
I haven't tried the bottle opener or knife sharpener on the back of the unit, and I doubt I will. I have other tools for these purposes, which I imagine would do a better job. However, in terms of its main purpose (opening cans), it is excellent. Highly recommended!
