Mrs Ty Poor product Very disappointed, this is very difficult to operate especially if you do not have a lot of strength in your hands. Couldn’t get it all the way round top of tin because the tin sides went inwards and afraid I would get cut READ NEXT: The best multi cookers for your kitchen The best can openers to buy in 2023 1. MagiCan Auto 2: Best easy-to-use can opener Products from the famous kitchen brand Joseph Joseph combine functionality and style. This can opener hardly takes up any space and makes opening tins a piece of cake. The small can opener automatically grasps the edge of the can and you can open the can in an instant. The product is suitable for every type of can. The can opener has a striking appearance and the space-saving design ensures that the tin opener can be stored in any cutlery drawer. Ann C. Compact [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I reason I bought this type of opener is I’d had the other types over the years. It was initially a bit fiddly to work the can opener, but once I got the hang of it the opener is speedy. Removing the can lid also took a few moments to get the hang of it. Looks quite good and small enough to fit in any gadget drawer.

Tina Best can opener I’ve tried yet! I’ve tried several different types of can opener to suit my arthritic hands. This one is definitely the best one yet. It’s compact so it takes up little room. Once you get the hang of getting in the right place, it turns easily and slices the top of the can. The only thing is that it’s hard to keep hold of the can especially when it’s small, like a tuna can. And you get a bit of leakage from the can as it opens. Les S. Too difficult to operate! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a lovely idea, but, aged 83, with little monsters ted strength, I can’t manage to operate it. I am considering returning it to Joseph Joseph. Again this metric favored the electric models. It was hard to ignore that the Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch, Kitchen Mama, and Cuisinart Deluxe Electric require minimal effort to operate and produce open cans that are either smooth or sharp, but easy to manage. Each of these models merely involves attaching the can, pressing a button, and stepping away, and they open up cans with no additional effort necessary. The Hamilton Beach and Kitchen Mama resulted in the smoothest can and lids after opening up garbanzo beans or cans of tuna, leaving behind no sharp edges for kid- and adult-friendly finger preservation. We're all clumsy to an extent, and removing sharp edges from the equation is pretty sweet. Unlike some we tested, the magnet that grabs the tin lid also works well, meaning that you don't have to go dipping into the can with your fingers to get the lid out. In our experience, most can openers last a long time. The first part to falter is often the blade(s). They don't often break, but they inevitably become dull. With a small amount of effort and some care, you can sharpen the blades yourself, greatly extending the useful life of your can opener. Beware that the blades are sharp. Be careful whenever handling blades to avoid injury.We would have liked to have seen some non-slip feet, but otherwise the build quality is good and it looks nice on a worktop. It's very effective at its core job of opening tins. They attach easily to the device and are held securely. Need a new can opener?
