Customer Reviews of Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, White
Customer Rating:   Summary: It's easy to use and they mean it when they say safe edge Comment: I just received this can opener today and used it right away. As other users mentioned, you wouldn't know whether it's actually opened the very first time you use it. I heard a sound like gas being released from the can but I couldn't figure out whether it was 100% opened or not. Then I saw the new fine cut on the side of the can. It is opened indeed. Yes it would be even better if we don't have to unlock the cap and relock it in another position to remove to top of the can. But I think it is still a very good product. And you don't have to worry about cutting your fingers. I posted a few pictures (shown under the product picture) of the can when it was opened and how it looks like when you use the opener to remove the top. Customer Rating: Summary: Good can opener for typical small to medium sized cans Comment: Locking this can opener onto the top of a can might take a little getting used to the first time you do it. After that, you just turn the handle until you are done. I imagine you might need to use it to lift the lid on rare occasions, but it won't usually be necessary. The blade wheel, which is the black and stainless steel wheel, is set back about 2mm from the sides of the recess for the can, and it also slants to one side. So if the can gets big enough, you will reach a point where there's not enough curve to allow it to fit. The breaking point is a bit smaller than the size of cans you get in warehouse stores or see in restaurant kitchens. On a typical sized can, this opener is easy to use, does a great job, and leaves a clean cut. But the first time I tried this opener, I had to use considerable force and eventually gave up. I then noticed that the edge of the can rubbed through the opener on one side, and the force was needed because the can was jammed against the opener. DON'T USE THIS ON LARGE CANS! I'd recommend this for left handed users, even though the blade tilt makes the can opener technically right handed. But you can turn the top handle clockwise with your left hand if you want to. If you turn it the other way, it will slip off. Clockwise is not truly "backwards" as it is with a pseudo left handed cheese grater, or other similar item with a handle on the side. The bottom line is that aside from the cosmetic damage caused by using this on a big can, I still have a good opener. Customer Rating: Summary: ok can opener Comment: I like edge can openers. This one functions well, but I had one previously that functioned better. The only drawback to this opener is that after you cut open the lid, you have to unlock the blade and relock the tip of the can opener on the lid in order to take the lid off. The previous can opener I had would take the lid off in the locked position after the lid was completely cut. Customer Rating: Summary: Not a good can opener Comment: I had a Zyliss can opener that wore out a year ago so have been searching for a replacement. When this showed up, it's a cheap imitation of the one I expected. It is difficult to use and generally a piece of junk. I paid WAY too much for shipping or I'd have returned it immediately. It will just go in the trash now. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Product Comment: The instructions can be a little hard to understand, but overall this is a great product. Works as advertised and is very easy to use. Best of all it creates no sharp edges. Great product! More Reviews 20363 Safe Edge Can Opener 
Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Choosing Appliance -> Taps Dual-flow mixers provide independent hot, cold or mixed water after leaving the end of the spout. They can be deck-mounted on the sink or pillar/bridge-mounted for a more traditional look. Alternatively, choose a monobloc tap, which is a single-hole fitting that usually has two handles for hot and cold water supply. Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, White
Useful info -> EnergyWise House: Laundry About 80 percent to 85 percent of the energy used for washing clothes is for heating the water. There are two ways to reduce the amount of energy used for washing clothes - use less water and use cooler water. Unless you're dealing with oily stains, the warm or cold water setting on your machine will generally do a good job of cleaning your clothes. Switching your temperature setting from hot to warm can cut a load's energy use in half. |
