CULINAREC10005 EasiCan Tin Opener, White, Plastic/Stainless Steel, Manual Can Opener, Precision Cutting and Clean Lid Removal

Previously I owned a Culinare Magican Opener, which worked really well for a couple of years but then I went to use it one day and the handle was turning but the can was not! Looking at reviews for that product now I see that I am not the only person who has had this problem, but it lasted a lot longer for me than others. I was in the middle of preparing food and desperate to get the tin open, so I got the angle grinder out and knew there had to be a better and safer way! I decided it was time to part company with the old can opener and welcome a new tool to the household.I thought the task of searching for a good quality tin opener at a reasonable price would be easy on Amazon. As soon as I started looking however, it became apparent that I was naive. Either the price was extortionate or the reviews were damning.After looking through every single page I decided to purchase this one. When it arrived, I could partly understand why someone was concerned that it might break (though the photograph makes it look far more fragile than it appears in actuality), but after using it daily since purchase I know that I can rely on this to do the job.When you put it onto the can and clamp the handles together, you can trust that it is going to hold on to the edge of the can without applying any pressure (you only need to hold the handles to steady the process). The handle for turning is very large, which makes it must easier to use (considering the principle of leverage).This is a joy to use compared to those old fashioned can openers, which are about as ergonomic to hold on the handle and lever as the serrated edge of a cheese grater (digging into your hand, and making your hand ache by having to apply hard constant pressure).I would imagine that this would be suitable for individuals who would otherwise struggle, for example, potentially those who have arthritis or cerebral palsy (although obviously this depend on severity and it hasn't been designed for this purpose specifically).If you too are worried about the lesser starred reviews, don't be! Buy this without hesitation and start opening cans with ease.

Excellent for smaller hands. Light weight, Well designed mechanism. Tapered Handle fits snug into palm, ensuring an effortless, sturdy and comfortable experience. (Best results, keep tin upright, on countertop when using tin opener).

I've just bought my latest Culinaire Easican tin opener to replace my previous one which was, admittedly, a copuple of years old. I imagined that a reputable company which believed in the quality of its products woul have granted an extensive guarantee so you can image my disappointment at reading on the Culinaire website that "We are confident that our products are manufactured to the highest quality and so we offer a 1-year guarantee on all Culinare products."So, enjoy your purchase while you can (no pun intended) but you can expect to be shelling out for a another replacement in little over 12 months - The cutting wheel soon goes blunt and worn so that it no longer cuts into the metal can at all.

Fantastic opener. Less than half the weight and bulk of our old one. Incredibly simple to use. I cannot for the life of me work out how some people say it's difficult to use. Bizarre. Take it off the card, open it, clip on and turn the knob. Easier opener ever! Takes up less room that most as well and cheap as chips!

I have tried a number of can openers over the last few years, and did not think that I would be so pleased with one that I would write a review. From an old fashion type all metal one, through to an expensive electric one that either did not start removing the lid, or would not stop (cutting my thumb as I tried to get the lid out of its still rotating jaws!). This Culinare opener is excellent, easy to use and very little pressure needed to operate it, I might buy another to keep as a spare.

A bit of a chore to use, you need to have reasonably strong hands. I have used this hundreds of times and only on two or three occasions did the lid not have to be prised out of the openers jaws. After 6 months of using it about 10 (maximum) times a week the mechanism started 'slipping'. This meant it took almost twice as many 'turns' of the mechanism to open a normal sized tin. Not good if you have trouble with your hands/wrists, so I gave up, threw it in the bin and bought an electric free-standing one.

One of the easiest can openers I have ever used, even with arthritic hands.

I live in a household of two lefties and two righties, so we have had numerous ambidextrous can openers! This is easily the best. The last one we had was terrible so I was so thrilled with this one which was great value for money, easy to use and really efficient.

Easy to use. I do not cut myself now on edges

Öffnet ohne scharfe Kanten und funktioniert bestens

Avevo un apriscatole elettrico black and decker che ogni volta che tentavo di utilizzare era un impresa. Ho buttato tutto e ho comprato questo splendido easycan che le lattine me le apre in un batter d'occhio. Facile l'utilizzo bisogna aprire i due manici a forbice richiuderli ed iniziarere a ruotare la maniglia superiore. Il risultato è rapido ed efficiente. Il coperchio superiore della lattina viene tagliato in maniera tale da non risultare tagliente dopo.

Um Dosen zu öffnen, wo die Lasche zum öffnen abgegangen ist kann man den Öffner nur nutzen, wenn man den Boden der Dose öffnet, da der Rand oben zu hoch ist. Ich bin allerdings davon begeistert, dass man sich am abgetrennten Deckel/Boden kaum verletzen kann (wenn mans nicht drauf anlegt) und er vom Öffner gehalten wird und somit nicht wie beim Standarföffner in den Doseninhalt fallen würde (wenn man komplett drumrum dreht). Zudem ist das Verletzungsrisiko dadurch fast ausgeschlossen, weil man den Deckel nicht aus der Dose biegen muss, sondern er einfach gleich ganz ab ist. Einziges Manko, ich sehe nicht wie ich den Öffner auf der Dose ansetze, außer ich schaue seitlich drunter (vielleicht geht es mit ein bisschen Übung auch blind^^), da auf nicht seitlich genutzt wird.

Ich hin etwas zwiegespalten. Auf der einen Seite öffnet er jede Dose mit Leichtigkeit, auf der anderen Seite ist die Kante an der Dose messerscharf. Es ist absolut nicht ratsam eine so geöffnete Dose (z. B. Wurst) auf den Tisch zu stellen.Ich habe ihn behalten, fülle allerdings den Doseninhalt nach der Öffnung immer komplett um. Dieser Öffner hat meinen alten Sicherheitsöffner abgelöst. Diese hatte seine Stärken im hinterlassen von unscharfen Kanten, allerdings war es immer eine ziemliche fuddelei bis man die Dose offen hatte. Und genau das ist die große Stärke dieses Dosenöffners.
