Customer Reviews of One-Touch Automatic Can Opener - White (29101)
Customer Rating:   Summary: Hands free can opener Comment: This is wonderful, it moves around the can on it's own and leaves the top and rim without a sharp edge. Because of this it does leave the can more flexible. Customer Rating: Summary: Dissatisfied Comment: We tried it when it first arrived. I had purchased it for my husband for a hunting trip, as he only has one arm, and thought it would be easy for him to use. It worked the one time when we tried it at home, and when he got to his destination and tried to use it, it DIDN'T work. A friend had brought a regular can opener and that is what they used the whole time they were there. We had purchased the One Touch jar opener and have loved it. It works every time, so we are VERY unhappy that the can opener wasn't as good. I would NOT recommend it to anyone. It is a waste of money. Customer Rating: Summary: Hemmorages battery life quicker than a hemophiliac using a porcupine loofah. Comment: Okay folks - That title is a little harsh...so to be fair, I'm going to list Amazon's product details and offer my thoughts on each: "Opens cans of all sizes" - Yes. Whether it's a small can of mushrooms or a big can of beans, this device latches on to the edge and works its way around with no trouble. "Easily lift lid off after can is open" - Another yes. When the device stops, the magnet holds the lid in place and makes for a simple removal. "Cuts from the side" - Yet another yes. Not much to add here. "Safe with no sharp edges" - This isn't always true. One of the lids came off with jags when the batteries ran low. "Lid won't fall into the can" - Another yes. Cutting from the side pretty much guarantees the lid won't fall in. "Stores conveniently in a drawer." - Yes. Sleek design here, no problems with storage. "Lid pops back on" - Well, I can't think of a reason why i would ever do this, but I suppose it can. "Opens over 100 cans per set of batteries" - This claim is 100% FALSE. I was only able to open 11 cans of varying sizes before the batteries died. I'll add in a couple extra points: (1) The opener doesn't always stop when the can is totally open. I've had the lid get stuck under the blade more than once and it kept churning away. (2) The biggest flaw is the "Reset" key - it's on the bottom of the device, right next to the blade. If the opener stops working before the lid is off, this key is COMPLETELY inaccessible. The instruction manual gives the following instructions to remove the can if it gets jammed: "To detach from can, push and hold the release button in the underside of the unit...if can is still jammed, PUSH AND HOLD the release button and AT THE SAME TIME, turn the Stall Release Screw counter-clockwise with a Phillips Head screwdriver to release." Okay, I could do this (maybe...), but what about consumers who specifically bought this device because of carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis??? Not a chance. Here's the bottom line: The opener does work, but since it sucks away battery life quicker than Dracula on crack, I can't give it higher than 3 stars. Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the trouble Comment: I could not get this thing to work, it got stuck on the can and I could not remove it. A good old hand operated one is better. Customer Rating: Summary: Quit without warning! Comment: This worked fine and gave no inkling that the batteries needed to be changed until it quit while clamped onto a can. No matter how I tried I could not get it to release. So I had to toss the whole thing, can and all. I was so frustrated! I would have changed the batteries had I known this would happen, but it worked fine and gave me no warning. Maybe a low battery light would help?

Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality. Choosing Appliance -> Taps If you want a sink with large bowl dimensions to cope with big-pan washing-up, it is worth considering a tap with a pull-out or pull-down spray rinse. This gives you water anywhere you need it around the bowl area. One-Touch Automatic Can Opener - White (29101)
