Oxo Can Opener Smooth Edge in black, Nylon, 6.22 x 16.89 x 27.31 cm

I used to have an old can opener - called the Topper - that, like this OXO, opened cans by slicing in where the side and the top join together, so that you get a smooth lip both on the lid and the can - no sharp edges. And, if you only use some of the contents, you can rest the lid back on the can and put it in the fridge - not sealed, but, at least, covered. The Topper died - it was rather old - and this OXO looked the best replacement: not only does it work in the same way, it also has built-in pincers to help remove the lid. And it's solidly made and chunkily comfortable in the hand. Hopefully, it will last the many years that its predecessor did.

Admittedly, only arrived today but it's clear that it works a darn site better than the cheaper ones I've bought in the past.There were no sharp edges at all and it was easy to turn the knob (which was big enough to get a good grip on).The little built in pliers that you use to grasp the lid worked fine.Delivery via Prime was as quick as predicted. Mine was a, cheaper, 'returned and re-sold' item so the packaging was a bit torn ... but I knew that and the item was in perfect condition.Very pleased. Recommended.EDIT. UPDATE 16/5/19It continues to be the best tin opener known to man. Faultless.

Easy to turn , smooth action. Cuts the can's lid seam fold. Didn't think it had worked, it was so easy, 'til I pulled the top off with the built in pincer. The blurb is correct, no sharp edges. Even did a big Fray Bentos tin ! I'm opening cans for the sake of it and eating too much. It is designed to take the stress off of the mechanism so should last years. Nice piece of kit.

i have been using this product over 2 months easy to use.just need toe get use to opening lids differently (off the top) and not just a bit of the lid

This item may take a few attempts to master at first, as the concept is quite different to the tin openers that most off us have grown up using. Please don't be put off by that though as this a great idea. It enables you to reuse the lid to re-seal the can you've just opened and the mechanism is smooth and easy to turn unlike some openers which leave your hands and fingers sore and tired.

Brilliant can opener, I have arthritis in my hand and this is the best can opener I've ever had. At first you don't think it's working but you just flip the lid that has been made and you have a tin with smoothed edges and now a lid if you don't use all the contents. Very easy to use once you realise the can opener is cutting through. See the Oxo Good Grips video's on YouTube.

Ok three adults tried to use this. None of us found it easy to use. It’s basically very unintuitive to use. Terrible product. Brought another brand today.

Quite costly but a thing of beauty (among can openers) , easy to use and leaves smooth edges every time.

Exactly what I was looking for: easy to use, and no sharp edges. I hesitated due to another review saying it was hard to get can lids off after opening. It isn't hard at all, but you do have to notice the small print instruction that comes with this can opener.. it tells you to do one full turn backwards before taking the lid off. If you do that, it is easy to pinch and remove the lid. I have several Oxo kitchen gadgets and they are all well-designed, good quality, and long-lasting.

Abro todo tipo de latas con cortes finos sin lastimarme, ergonómicamente seguro, de fácil manejo. la marca la recomiendo en su totalidad.

Boa qualidade e muito útil.

Funciona un poco mejor que el KUHN RIKON Auto Safety pero también resbala la ruedita dentada sobre el canto de la lata. No es efectivo. El manejo es muy bueno, el mango es gomoso, muy cómodo y ergonómico. EL mecanismo es bastante bueno sobre todo para las personas mayores .... pero, no es efectivo. No abre bien las latas. Se procede a su devolución.

Very efficient
