Amazon Basics Manual Can Opener, Easy to Use, Hand Held with Soft Grip Single Handle, Clean Cutting, Large, Black

Works perfectly. Opens cans effortlessly with no sharp edges. Seems to be well made.

Hasn’t broken unlike our Walmart one that broke on the first use. Very easy to use and not as confusing to use for someone who doesn’t open many cans.

Amazing. I had to get used to pressing the steel bar down and turning the crank to pierce the can. It was a little effort to turn the crank, but the end result was worth it. The top of cans came clearly off with no Jagged edges on either the top or the sides. The top can be put back on or discarded.

Warning: This can opener has a mind of its own and may run away from you. Mine disappeared from my kitchen a few days after I bought it. One night it was sitting on the counter, the next morning it was just gone. After 3 weeks hoping it would turn up, I finally gave up and bought a slightly different style (the Joseph Joseph compact handleless style can opener) so that I'll have two choices in case it does ever reappear. At least I only paid $7. I'm all seriousness, I only used this for a week, but it seemed like a nice no-frills can opener that was definitely worh the very lowe price I paid for it. This was my first time buying a can opener of this style (single handle which cuts on the outside of the can's rim), but it was easy and intuitive for me to figure out how to use it. Just remember, when the lid gets stuck to the can opener, twist the handle in the opposite direction and it'll come right off. This is actually a nice intentional feature, but it can be frustrating at first if you aren't used to it. This style of can opener has some tradeoffs with the traditional two-handled opener. Cutting the outside rim of the can leads to a smoother edge on the can and lid, but can also lead to some of the liquid inside the can spilling out. Personally, I think that that's a worthy tradeoff for lower risk of cutting myself and bleeding all over my food, but neither option is perfect so think about which potential frustration you'd rather avoid before you buy, because as far as I know there is no can opener that perfectly solves both problems.

I really like this. It replaced a 57-year old electric that served me well. This manual opener is fine as long as my hands stay strong.

I saw a random video about "safe cut"(or "safety") can openers and comparing them to the traditional can openers that are more known and popular. I was skeptical because it made no sense why something that performed like that wouldn't be the known and popular style of can opener. But I was intrigued enough to try one out and was very happy to see a AmazonBasics option. AmazonBasics proves to be worth the savings more often than not compared to their counterparts. I was happy to take a roll on it. The video was no gimmick, these things are amazing. No more lining up wheels, grip crushing levers, and clunky grinding cranking. No more sharp edges or lids falling into what you want to eat. The clean cut is amazing. Put it in place and start spinning, it grabs and does the job. The lid doesn't fall in. And there's no sharp edges. It's baffling that these aren't the "known" can opener. These are what you should think of when somebody says can opener, not the ones you do. This AmazonBasics Safe Cut Can Opener is built well and I expect it to last for many, many years. MAYBE it can't tackle every can. But I've yet to run into one I can't open with it. Couple that with the ever growing prevalence of manual pull tab cans and my traditional can opener hasn't been touched since I got this a year ago. And hopefully never will. I'm a convert. Safe cut is the right cut!

Clean cut & smooth opening!

could not cut through rim of can at all, it barely even grabbed on even after trying on multiple cans. Just spun almost in place and left small aluminum shavings and slivers from the can on the counter. the mechanism does not compress and bit into the can enough to get through, just enough to tear it up

Saw this type of tin opener on a YouTube video (yes, I know... I'm a bit weird like that) and when I saw amazon basics had one, thought why not, I need a new tin opener anyway. This tin opener is life changing (as much as a tin opener can change your life, which isn't a great amount but still). No sharp edges on tins, no having to reset the opener after it doesn't grab onto the tin properly, and probably the biggest benefit, the removed top can be used as a lid! No more plastic wrap or tin foil to cover open tins! Would recommend.

Omg i wish i found this can opener years ago! Smooth easy operation. No sharp edges on the can. It just has 1 handle and the cutting part locks into place. Never seen an opener designed this way but it works!

Fácil de manejar, no se requiere aplicar fuerza.

Comodo da usare, talmente comodo che al primo utilizzo pensavo che non stesse tagliando nulla. Poi magicamente, scatola aperta perfettamente. Addirittura con i bordi della scatola non taglienti, quindi raccomandatissimo!

J'adore cet ouvre boite! Je ne connaissais pas ce système car celui-ci, au lieu de couper les dessus du couvercle, effectue une coupe horizontale. C'est bien plus sécurisant car: + je trouve les bords moins coupants, la partie supérieure de la boite venant comme un couvercle + la partie dégagée ne tombe plus sur les aliments ou elle est pafois difficile à attraper L'ouvre boite possède une poignée ergonomique et confortable du fait que la partie de maintien est recouverte de caoutchouc qui facilite le serrage et la pression. Cette poignée est munie à sa base d'un trou permettant de suspendre l'ouvre boite si on le désire. La butée près de la lame permet de bien s'appuyer sur la boite de conserve. Il se nettoie facilement. Je recommande cet ouvre boite, solide, simple et efficace pour son système d'ouverture des conserves par le coté, dans le plan horizontale.
