Title: Easy to operate and works well
Review: I want to preface this review by saying that I have never liked electric can openers and even refused to have one in my kitchen; I much preferred the non-electric hand turned ones. However, as I have gotten older and the arthritis has become increasingly painful in my hands, it has become sufficiently difficult and almost impossible for me to operate the old style hand crank can openers. So like it or not, I had to get an electric one. I evaluated multiple options, read multiple reviews, and watched multiple videos finally deciding on this one which I might add, I found most impressive. I did not want a battery operated model which either required batteries or needed to be recharged. I especially liked the fact that the cut was made under the rim on the outside and not inside thereby eliminating any sharp edges. I finally hit the purchase button and bought this Hamilton Beach model. The can opener is tall enough to accommodate taller cans yet easily fits underneath the counter. It is attractive, sleek, streamlined and easily cleaned. The scissors tucked in the back are an added bonus. The cord is relatively short but long enough to plug in where I use it. The can fits smoothly and efficiently under the blade, and the lever is easily operated with one hand. There are no sharp edges on the can lid after being cut open. On my first use I had a bit of trouble knowing when the can had been completely cut as I noticed no change in the sound emitted by the can opener and since the cut is on the outside not the top it is difficult to see the cut. That is certainly not problematic, and I am sure it is something that I will adjust to with time. This can opener works extremely well and is a dream to use. I would be wrong to not admit how much I have enjoyed using it and how much my hands appreciate it. I highly recommend it to anyone who has any misgivings at all about electric can openers.Top 3 Likes:-Relatively compact and quiet yet sturdy and functional as described-Cut on the side is quite wonderful-Easily handles small, standard, or large cans with easeTop 3 Dislikes:-At first it was difficult to tell if the cut is complete-The side cut is so indiscreet that I have to get a knife to lift the cut lid off of the can-No longer can I put the lid down inside the can, it will not fit with the side cut

Title: Hamilton Beach Smooth Edge Electric Automatic Can Opener for Kitchen
Review: The last Hamilton Beach Smooth Edge Electric Automatic Can Opener for Kitchen I bought lasted 8 years. I'm looking forward to another 8 with an outstanding mechanical aid to my kitchen. I like that it opens the can by separating the can from the top so there aren't any sharp edges.

Title: Great Electric Can Opener
Review: I really like this can opener. It neatly opens cans from the side of the rim instead of the top. No sharp edge left on the top to worry about. No metal shavings left in the food. Only one minor criticism. When opening tinned tuna, or similar, you can't use the lid to squeeze the juice or oil out of the tin's contents. The rim stays on the lid so the lid won't slide down inside the can. I've kept my manual can opener for the rare occasions I open a tuna-type can so not a majorproblem for me. If you open a lot of tuna-type cans, and want to squeeze the juice out, this is not a good can opener for you. It works fine to offset the lids a bit and drain liquid from other types of canned goods (beans, corn, etc.) that don't require squeezing out the liquid. Also comes with an unexpected pair of kitchen shears tucked in a slot in the back of the can opener, which was a nice, handy extra.

Title: Works great
Review: I haven’t had any luck finding a can opener that really works good. I just purchased one about 3 months ago and I wasn’t happy with it. Going to pass it to my grandson. I found this one and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. No sharp corners on anything and very easy to use. Love it

Review: LOVE this can opener! It is so simple to use, with minimal effort! Opens all types of cans! Perfect for the elderly, or not so elderly who have limited hand or arm use; great for children, as there’s no sharp edges. Best investment with high recommendation! It is very sturdy; sits very solid on the counter; has a cutting knob at the height of 6 3/4”, or can be placed at the edge of the counter to cut deeper cans.After checking many reviews and reading some people’s struggle with it, I’m including clear use instructions.Just pull up top lever; place and hold can underneath round turning knob; then, with free hand, push down lever half down to locked position, or proceed with pushing it all the way down to begin the cutting. As soon as the cutting sound becomes a little higher pitch, the cutting is done; release lever! Hold can with one hand and pull up lever with the other hand, to release the can.*** Lid is cut in the middle of the side rim; not underneath it (as I thought, at first.)I have had mine for several months, now, and it opens my cans, perfectly, every time!Includes a great and handy little scissor for other needs.Push lever down for storage.

Review: I had first seen over 40 years ago a can opened in the manner that this can opener opens a can. I was intrigued. I had never seen anything like it. Over the years we were stuck with an ordinary can opener but it was nearing the end of it's life. I just so happened to see this can opener on Amazon and bought one. It works fantastic, no sharp edges. Easy to use. The biggest thing I like is that rather than having to empty a partially used can into another container to put in the fridge, I just put the lid back on and put it in the fridge. I'm not having to wash extra containers, I'm not wasting water and soap or my time. Once can is empty I can wash it and re-use the can for so many other things like painting or parts sorting. Makes me feel good using something more than once. We have used the new can opener for some time and it works well each and every time. Very dependable.

Review: My wife loves it and so do I! This thing works great! The way it effortlessly cuts the lid on the side and leaves no sharp edges is really cool! While I was always a hand-crank opener kind of guy, this thing won me over. Had it for about two months now and it has worked perfectly every time. There are cheaper ones and more expensive ones on the market but this is THE ONE TO BUY!

Review: It seems to work by prying off the top of the can rather than cutting into anything. Requires both hands to operate: you have to hold the can against the device with one hand while pressing the activation lever down with the other. Pressing the lever engages a mechanism that grips the can in place so you don't need to keep supporting the can. The device immediately starts rotating the can with a whirring noise, and you have to keep pressing the lever until it's done. It doesn't stop automatically when the can is open; you just know it's done because the whirring noise jumps up in pitch. At that point you release the lever and remove the can--you don't need your other hand for this because the device holds the can in place until you remove it.On the whole I'm quite satisfied; it meets my needs. But a few usability quibbles which might matter to some people:- As noted above, you'll need 2 hands (or some other way to get the can in place while you push the lever).- Relying on the change in sound pitch to know when it's done won't be great for anyone who's hearing impaired. The opener leaves little indentations on the lid as it works its way around the can so you could use that as a visual cue, but an indicator light or auto-stop might be better.- I couldn't tell that it actually worked the first time I used it because the lid stays so perfectly aligned after operation and there's little visual evidence (apart from the little indentations noted above) that anything has changed. You have to pull up on the lid, which now easily comes loose.
