Can anyone recommend a can opener that actually works?

Question

Does anyone else have problems with getting a can opener to work I have bought several recently and they just dont work. I even bought a battery operated one off of ebay and that only worked for a few times. Anyone recommend a decent one

Answer 1

its you

Answer 2

I've had same problem as you. I got one from Morrison's for about £2.99 and that's been OK so far.

Answer 3

Mine is a Culinaire Magic Can - works brilliantly - Wilkinsons sell em.

Answer 4

I had the same problem and gave up and bought a upscale fancy hand turn one, the main thing Ive noticed is that you have to find one with a wheel cutter not a daigonal knife cutter that seems to dominate all electric openers because on that one the edge wears in the same spot and dulls and then the drive wheel just chews the edge of the can. The hand one I got has a wheel that pivets to fit any erregularities and is just as fast and its portable

Answer 5

I've had this one for about 3 years now, and it stil works as well as the first day that I got it. I was in the same boat as you and tried many, many different ones, but this one is the best one ever!

Answer 6

We have a can opener that you hook on to a standard can top then turn wheel by hand. After one complete circle of turning can the top come off. The great thing about this can opener is that the top fits perfectly on the can and can be used as a lid.

All I have on side of opener is a pasted on label that reads: Dosenoffner    ROSLE

Check out specialty stores like Bed-And-Breakfast.

Hope this will help. We love this opener
