Product Description
Like all the other pieces in the OXO SteeL line, this can opener is a thing of beauty, and for a can opener that's saying something! But a can opener that is all looks and no function wouldn't make it long in the world of gadgets and this opener can do its job with ease. Your ease that is, because the soft, slip-resistant grips and knob make operation a breeze.

Amazon.com Review
With a large, smooth, plastic twist handle that fits nicely in the palm, this can opener operates with a minimum of effort. Flexible rubber fins on the handle absorb the tension necessary to keep the opener in place, while sharp, stainless-steel teeth bite into lids with the agility of a great white shark. A built-in bottle opener completes the design. Sturdy construction and a large twisting knob make this one of the best can openers on the market. Like all Oxo products, this tool is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro

5 out of 5 stars better, faster, easier than an electric can opener   September 14, 2002

I grew up with electric can openers that inevitably broke or had a hard time attaching to the can, then the contents often spilled as I removed it from the magnetic holder. Back then the alternative was a hand-held manual one that was actually painful to use.

After marrying we bought an electric can opener which broke soon thereafter. While waiting for the day when it was to be repaired (which ended up being never), I bought this OXO manual can opener thinking it would be a temporary and inexpensive solution. It is awesome. We have been using ours for about 5 years and it is still going strong. It is fast, easy to use, and comfortable. There is no pain or discomfort when holding it. It cuts the can cleanly and is just plain easier to use than electric can openers. We are sticking with the OXO can opener and not going back to electric openers.

I highly recommend this can opener, ditch your electric can opener and make things easier on yourself!


5 out of 5 stars The Best Can Opener Value on the Market   September 16, 2003

As a former Chef I am picky about using only quality kitchen utensils, and I heartily endorse this can opener. Most manual can openers have a tendency to hang up or run off the lip of the can, but not this beauty. It stays on the lid without ever jumping off and has incredible ease of operation due to it's large mechanical advantage and handle construction.

This may look like a cheap can opener from the local retailer, but it's ease of use, durability, and the fact that it is dishwasher safe (many aren't) makes this the best value for the can opener dollar imaginable.


5 out of 5 stars Best can opener I've ever used   June 15, 2002

I'm a totally disabled Veteran. My wife is disabled also with a severe upper back and neck problem that affects her hands. She doesn't have much strength in her hands. This can opener is so easy for both of us to use! I believe it's because this product is very well made. It does a great job. I'm ordering another one. It makes a good gift also.

We've had this can opener for several years now. I still have one of our old, el cheapo can openers which I sometimes use if I can't find the OXO. The OXO is so much easier to use - it tracks the can rim without jumping off, it cuts the metal easily, knob is easy to turn. Also, I don't always get to drying my washing up quickly, but this can opener shows no signs of rust spots.

This is the best can opener that I have ever owned. I have had it for 1 year and it has given me lots of use with no trouble.

Its also very stlish and comfortable. I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and using gadgets like this can be difficult for me. This can opener requires less effort so its good for my hands!
