KUHN RIKONAuto Safety LidLifter/Can Opener with Ring Pull, 8 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches, Black

Man, I love this can opener. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to use the other style where you have to clamp it on and it’s different for different cans and stuff? I hate those, but this is AMAZING.Here’s what I like:- Comfortably fits in your hand- Great, strong quality- Smoothly opens can- Easy to turn, with little resistance- Color (red) isn’t too bold, and is visually pleasing- Lid grabber thingy works easily- Spares the pain the other type of can opener gives

Opens the can in a way where the lid isn't super sharp. Super easy and fast to use. It's pricier for a can opener, but the quality is so good that I can't see myself going back to a regular opener.

My family had one of those plain white German safety can openers for years so that's what I'm used to, but they were sold out the one place I could find them (Walmart online).I have owned the red version only two weeks, but it seems durable, and it opens cans better than the German type. The longer twisty part makes it easier on your hands, and it's very ergonomic/comfortable. The mechanism for separating can lids is simple and seems to be well-made, and the little button to remove the lid with the claws seems good. My only worry is that it would weaken over time but I'll update if so.

Excellent Product! Far surpassed expectations! I had a very old one I had for 12+ years from QVC, which was great..till is wasn't. Replace it with this one and WOW.......Kuhn Rikon is FANTASTIC. Much easier to use and better result. Worth every penny!

It looks nice. It does open cans splendidly. Its one handed self clamping wheels are rather ingenious. And it can be used equally easily right or left handed. But there are two things I consider flaws. One minor, the other major. And they may not be issues for everyone, but they are for me.1) The mechanical housing is not watertight. When I got the can opener, the first thing I did was hand wash it with warm soapy water per the packaging instructions. While I have heard this can opener is dishwasher safe, the packaging does not say so. As a bit of a clean freak, I intend to put it in the dishwasher for sanitization if there is any doubt in my mind about its cleanliness. The quick minute wash I gave it resulted in about a tablespoon of water inside the can opener's mechanical housing. I shook the can opener, vigorously and strategically, to drive as much water as I could back out, but I do not want to do this every time I wash it. And ignoring it will result in a bacterial breeding ground inside the can opener. I consider this a major design flaw, but for those who never wash their can openers, it will be a non issue.2) This can opener does not have a bottle opener. After searching the reviews on amazon and the questions section, and seeing nothing on the subject, I resorted to surmising that the metallic dock-tie-down-looking protrusion on the left is a bottle opener. I was wrong. This is a button for clamping the built in pliers on the right. While I think it is absurd to have those tiny pliers on a can opener, it seems fashionable as many competing tools have them as well. Still, it is more absurd that no safety can opener seems to have a bottle opener on it! If you have another can opener, or a separate bottle opener, than this will again be a non issue. But to me it is ridiculous.Lastly, the can opener feels sturdily built except for the plier closing button, which is slightly loose and rattles in its socket. And the handle, though thoughtfully designed, is a little short. I do not have massive hands, but if I press my wrapped fingers forward to the finger guard, my hand still hangs an inch off the back. Not a big deal, but something worth noting if you have very large hands.Overall, a fine can opener with a few problems, be they major or minor, that keep it from being perfect.

I will never go back to a regular can opener!! I have gone through so many openers in the past because if rust in the cutters or warping. This product works in a completely different way, rather than cutting the metal it breaks the seal. No jagged edges!!!

I have been looking for a can opener that will work correctly. This one is great! It's amazing how it cuts the can and leaves a smooth edge. What I especially like about this one is that it is stainless steel, and no portion of the cutter blade touches your food. The cutting mechanism stays clean too. Where were you all my life!
