OXO SteeL Can Opener

This can opener is freaking ridiculously awesome! I never thought that I'd be amped up to write a review for a can opener, but after using it, I felt obligated to share with my Amazon brethren just how great this little gadget is. First of all, before buying this particular can opener, I scoured Amazon for several other can openers with good reviews in the hope that I would end up buying one that worked great. In fact, I had initially began my search for an electric can opener as my old one bit the dust. However, after about an hour of searching and comparing electric can openers, I came to the conclusion that they all had their flaws and that none were a guaranteed good purchase. Fortunately, at the end of my search, I wound up viewing the Oxo Steel Can Opener. After reading the description, viewing the picture, and subsequently reading the reviews, I came to the conclusion that a manual can opener is a better choice and that the Oxo CO was the best on the market.Thankfully, the customer reviews did not let me down. Once the can opener arrived I broke out a large can of soup and put it in action. Whoa! I was shocked. The can opener was so smooth that I wasn't sure if it was even opening the can, but sure enough, at the end of the slice the can was opened perfectly. The ability to slice through the can is due to an attached hard plastic knob protruding from the side of the can opener which acts as a wrench. The wrench-esque knob enables you to slice through the can by effortlessly twisting it.Potential buyers should know a few things about this can opener. 1.) It fits your hand perfectly and comfortably. 2.) There is no extra strength required as the can opener slices through the tin top like a warm knife cutting through butter. 3.) The ease of opening cans cannot be overstated as many disabled or elderly people have a weak grip. Making things easy for these people is the fact that the Oxo CO does not require you to put a death grip on the can with one hand and then strain to crank on the knob with the other hand like many other manual CO's do.In summation: If you are thinking about buying this item, do yourself a favor and get it.

Never thought I could be so excited about a can opener, but after years of dealing with poor quality openers, I think I hit the jackpot. Was thinking to buy an electric or a battery operated opener but read too many poor reviews for all these type openers. Decided on another manual concentrating on sharpness and knob comfort (have a little arthritis in my hands). This opener is almost effortless. Very sharp. Very easy to use turning knob. Handles also comfortable. Almost anyone can easily use this with ease. I am left handed but have always used my right hand with an opener. I did try it using my left hand and did so with ease. Remember to always clean a can opener and dry completely after use. It will lengthen the life of the opener. This one costs a little more than most but worth every penny.

If what you desire is inside of a can, then this can opener will open it. It will TAKE DOWN any can. It will literally DESTROY any can. OBLITERATE. DEMOLISH. RUIN. PUT BIG HOLE IN IT, SPECIFICALLY, AT THE TOP. It will open ANYTHING--soup, corn (creamed or whole), beans, ham. It will also open: hearts, minds, eyes, arms, doors, books, floodgates, Pandora's box, and, curiously enough, marriages. It is effortless, smooth, and a total badass. It's so easy to use, a blind dolphin can use it. A BLIND DOLPHIN.Sure it's about $20. You COULD get a cheaper one for $4. Yes, you could be a hater and do that. But just understand you'll be sadface because you'll spend an extra ten minutes struggling to open a stupid can of peas and realize what an epic mistake you've made with your P.O.S. four dollar can opener and you'll consider, perhaps briefly, buying frozen vegetables next time, which are actually better for you anyway, so maybe canned peas was a bad example. So just reread that whole thing but use "tomato sauce" instead.With this BALLS OUT can opener, you will wish EVERY SINGLE THING on this planet and on other planets came in a can so you can open them. Pencils, socks, books, CDs, cell phones, Sacagawea dollar coins, Little League trophies. You will wish ALL OF THOSE THINGS came in a can. If toothpaste came in a can you would not EVEN CARE because it would be ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM to open it.You know how your crappy can opener has some gunk on the wheel? It looks like a secretion? That's rust, my friend. One of the many reasons your current can opener sucks a left nut is because it's not stainless steel. This one is stainless steel. Therefore, your crappy can opener is sucking this can opener's left nut. And guess what? It's rather enjoying it.Look, if Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, and Harvey Keitel gave birth to a baby, that baby would be this can opener. What I am trying to say is that this is a can opener for people WHO DO NOT FEAR ACTION and for those who are BAD IN THE PANTS DEPARTMENT.

My previous can opener was starting to rust around the blades and I realized that we needed to part ways, pronto. Enter this flashy can opener from OXO that has a silicone grip on the handles, a huge turning knob for a better grip, and the ability to open up in a straight line so that the blades have a better chance of drying off after rinsing. That last part is a big deal because of the rusting that could eventually happen in a normal can opener that can't separate the blades out for easier cleaning/drying. It also works perfectly. This one checks all the boxes for a great can opener.
