Chef'nFreshForce Compact Can Opener, Durable Stainless Steel Space Saving Tin Opener, Blue, 18.5 cm

I've had various can openers in recent years, and although an increasing number of cans are now ring-pull, I do find myself needing to use one from time to time.This particular opener is a top-opening can opener, not a side - opener. It's not completely clear, at first, but you position the cutting wheel vertically at the top of the can, not at the side.What I really liked about this is that it is very easy to turn .The large, flat 'turner' is easy to grip, and cleverly, it folds flat, so that the opener doesn't take up a lot of room in the kitchen drawer. It didn't slip, and punctured the can easily, the cog at the side turned the can around nicely.There are no instructions supplied, but at the top of the can opener is a magnet that lifts the lid. It took me a while to work this out. There is also a small 'wedge' at the side of the opener to help with lifting the lid up.The blue handle looks as if it might contain recycled plastic, but that has to be a good thing. The rounded shape of the handles make them comfortable to hold.If you are looking for an easy to use opener that is compact, well-made and comfortable to hold, this ticks the boxes. It's effectively replaced a very good Zyliss opener that stopped 'biting' into the top of the tin, after a few years use.

It cannot be easier to open tins using a manual Can Opener. I opened a tin for in about 6 seconds. It is very easy to use. In terms of built-quality, it ticks that box as well. With manual Can openers like this, who needs the extra step to plug in an electric can opener into a power outlet?

This can opener works well. It has good grip, turns well and does the job. The twisting handle can be folded down for store-ability purposes, but the opener is still quite chunky still in the other direction (although this helps with grip in the hand). This is also easy to clean and looks good.

This is a very sturdy can opener that's easy to use. The only thing to be aware of is that there's a metal flap that folds against the arm and which you need to flip up in order to use the opener. I thought it was a neat feature and does make it easier to store in a drawer.

The handles are not rubberised and do not have moulded finger grips, yet it sits nicely in the hand when in use. The cutter s work easily, and the magnetic tab holds the lid fort easy disposal. It is a nice flat design, so fits well into out kitchen drawer. Highly recommended.

Many people rely on cans/tins and lots of tins don't have the peel-off tops, still. Campers, boat owners, pensioners particularly use tins and this is the safest, easiest opener I have ever come across. Would be best for children or older people to use. The squeeze handle works brilliantly, it's very powerful. The magnetic lid lifter is ideal, no chance of cutting yourself with the sharp edge and you drop the lid into the bin. There is, of course, a sharp edge left along the top of the tin to be careful of.The handle is easy to grip, tactile and reassuringly strong. Hand wash to the opener after use, a doddle, no need to worry about putting it in the dishwasher, only takes a mo. Stow it away flat into a drawer, ready for the next time you want to attack some tuna, chickpeas, soup or beans. All made from top quality durable stainless steel.

This is a nice chunky can opener.The handle is soft touch but solid at the same time due to the texture of the plastic. The handle stores flat agains the body when not in use but is large which means you dont need as much pressure to turen the handle and open the can.The mechanism with the handle is very smooth making opening the cans very easy.

If you have never used one of these sort of can openers the Amazon product page shows very clearly how to do so. Also if you are left handed this appliance works just as well but you use your right hand to start with. It is so easy with a built in magnet to take the lid off. Hand clean only. Nice and sturdy and easy to handle.

So easy to use and does what it claims, ie., catch the lid before it drops into the can!!

My old can opener worked when it wanted too but this one is great

The selling point of this can opener is that the metal turn, which you use to actually open the can, flips down for easier storage. This doesn't really make the can opener that much easier to store. It reduces the bulk of the thing by just an inch of width, not a big difference in a utensil drawer. Unfortunately, the thin metal nature of this flipping turner makes it a bit more uncomfortable to handle. My traditional can opener has a thick plastic turn which is very easy to grip and turn without thinking. The thin metal of this item is much less comfortable to work.There was no apparent difference in the ease of actually biting into the can and the ease of turning between the two.

Wow.. It did it’s job... I opened the can with out a problem.. I didn’t have to reset it or stop as I opened the can.. I’ve never owned a good can opener until Now..

I bought this for my mother as she saw it in a magazine. I find it easy to use, but my mother is 75 and has arthritis in her hands and does have a difficult time using. However that is it the products fault, just wanted users to beware.
