Easy to use
Man, I love this can opener. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to use the other style where you have to clamp it on and itâs different for different cans and stuff? I hate those, but this is AMAZING.
Hereâs what I like:
– Comfortably fits in your hand
– Great, strong quality
– Smoothly opens can
– Easy to turn, with little resistance
– Color (red) isnât too bold, and is visually pleasing
– Lid grabber thingy works easily
– Spares the pain the other type of can opener gives

Best can opener ever
Love this can opener! No mess, no sharp edges, works so easily too. No more turning the crank on the old type can opener to only hurt your hand and wrist in the difficult process! It is effortless and I highly recommend this can opener. I own one for my home and one for my winter home. Wouldnât use any other can opener. Worth the price.

Best Can Opener Iâve Ever Had!!
So simple to use and has such a clean cut. No struggling with it like other hand can openers. I highly recommend this if youâre in need of a better can opener.

Easy to hold, WORKS!!!
I’ve been looking for a traditional can opener for some years now, one that will function at around 100% reliability. However, the only model I’ve found recently is the Kuhn Rikon, which removes the entire lid, edge included. While I would prefer to remove only the inner lid (seems safer…?), I’ll take what I can get and the Kuhn Rikon absolutely does what I need: Removing lids so that I can get to the food inside. It takes a little more effort to use, but anything’s better than having to punch through the lid with a knife!

Good
Opens can quickly & without sharp edges. The part you turn is very hard on the hand, however.

The best can opener that I have ever used – so simple to operate
I have used other products from Kuhn Rikon in the past. Particularly pressure cookers, so I might be biased. I have also used several of this type of ‘safety’ or ‘magic’ can openers in the past.
From my perspective, this is the best and easiest to use can opener that I have ever used or owned, and I am now almost 70, so that’s a lot of can openers.
Unlike some other openers of this type, it is especially easy to position and engage on the cans. The previous opener that this one replaced (a British one that resembles the Amazon Basics Safe Cut in appearance) was designed to be simplified, but was virtually impossible to position. Not so, this one. Just as the instructions explain, simply align the two semi-circular ‘aiming’ cutouts on the body and turn the knob about half a turn to engage and lock it on the can. It’s really that simple and easy.
After that, I find it easier to hold the knob in place and then move the longer handle to rotate round the rest of the can. Once a lack of resistance is felt, the lid has been separated from the can and a half-turn anti-clockwise of the knob releases the opener from the can and lid (which remains in place).
The integrated ‘pincher’ does actually work to fully detach the separated lid from the can. Because of the way these types of opener operate, once the lid has been separated from the can, a vacuum exists within the can, particular if maintained by liquid within the can. This is not a major deal, but often means that it doesn’t detach easily by itself. A fingernail, knife etc will work too, but with the aforementioned pincher, it’s a breeze to accomplish without getting any liquid on your hands.
As others have attested, this type of opener leaves a replaceable lid to the can without leaving any jagged edges. If you have kids or are worried about cutting yourself (like I am), you should probably use one of this type of opener, even if not this specific one.
The only thing that I’m not so sure of is the hook for cans that come with ring-pull lids. I tried it only once (on a can of sardines) and it simply pulled the ring-pull out of the lid without removing any of it from the can.
As I said, I love this can opener and would certainly recommend it to anyone. I expect it to last for a long time, but if it ever wears out, I would certainly buy another one without hesitation.
I neither work for nor am I affiliated with either the manufacturer or Amazon. I just like this product and Kuhn Rikon, in general.

Love! Protect Animals!
Love this product! It is working very well for me! I once read about stray animals (including cats and dogs) that search through trash who get injured on sharp lids trying to eat food scraps. I was horrified and saddened thinking about that. That is why I am big on getting a can opener of this type. No sharp edges after opening the can. I also like how this opener stays clean with no food residue on it!

Wasn’t sure how this would work, pleasantly surprised. Great Product!!!!
I had a very old safety edge can opener. The teeth had worn out over the years and it was time to replace it. I really didn’t get how this one worked without the jaw style to clamp on the can. I used it just a couple of days ago, and it is SOOO easy to operate. No complicated was to get it to clamp on the can, easy to open the can itself. Would definitely recommend.

Funziona bene e taglia il bordo laterale della latta lasciano liscio quello superiore in modo da non tagliarsi, é buono ad averlo in casa soprattutto per prevenire incidenti sia per sé stessi che per gli altri componenti della famiglia, non lascia bordi taglienti.
