Customer Reviews of Hamilton Beach 76500 Walk 'N Cut Cordless Can Opener
Customer Rating:   Summary: Fun to use and small enough for a drawer and NO CORD! Comment: This can opener is fun to use. It did take a few tries to figure out how to seat it properly to pierce the can, and don't throw away your hand crank one, as it won't work on small can's like tomato paste and sauce. It takes a little more muscle than I had hoped to pierce the can. I have a weak arm and hoped it wouldn't take as much effort, I love that I don't have to store it on the counter, and it is rechargeable. Once the can is pierced, it does all of the work by itself. I won't use it often, so I have some concern about how long it will last. A ni-cad battery is pretty much obsolete with the advent of the NI-MH batteries that have a much longer life with no memory to deal with. I'd buy another one, but don't think that my 86 year old mother could use it. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Yet! Comment: I suffered a stroke, and have difficulty using my left hand.....and since my stroke I have purchased 4 different can openers..........all were very difficult to impossible for me to use! Can you spell: FRUSTRATED? And just one of the reasons I love shopping at Amazon is the "Customer Reviews"! Hence, how I bought this "great - cute - very easy to use CAN OPENER" .....no more clutter on my counter, this "Little Gem" stays in drawer.........and it works for me every time! Very EASY TO USE! YIPPEE! I now do not have to go hungry if I run out of prepared food........my pantry is full of "Canned Goodies" that I now have "EASY ACCESS TO" thanks to this Hamilton Beach Cordless Can Opener"! Customer Rating: Summary: Waste of money Comment: It's very difficult or next to impossible to clamp down on a can. It's not worth the effort. Customer Rating: Summary: Hands Free Can Opener Comment: It works ok for the price, but is a little difficult for me to use. It takes a little "pressure" to push the blade piece down onto the can and is difficult for those with bone/joint/muscle issues-disabilities. I also did not realize that the can opens from the top, not smoothly from below the lids. So at times, I have had "splash-overs" from the liquid on the can. Would only recommend it for those who want a "hands free", but do not have any medical issues with use of hands/wrist. This item is definitely not for the "physically impaired"! Customer Rating: Summary: Nifty kitchen gadget but requires thumb strength Comment: I bought this can opener for my 84-year old dad. I tried it out myself and thought, "Nifty, he should like this!". I showed my dad how to use it last night and we spent a half hour trying all different hand positions to find one where he could press the thin actuator lever down without any success. I think I will keep this for myself and buy him one that sits on the counter so he can push his whole weight down on its lever. I would not recommend this gadget for an older adult. More Reviews This easy-grip can opener from Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex opens any size can using only one hand. Attach it to your can and watch it go - it walks, cuts then shuts itself off automatically. Plug it in for easy recharging overnight; it opens 19 or more cans on a single charge. The removable cutting lever lifts off for easy cleaning. The compact-size can opener stores in your drawer. 
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. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers Added features such as ice making and drinks dispensers can all add to the appeal of certain models. Ice making is an option on many American style fridge-freezers, sometimes available without opening the door, as are cold water dispensers. Zoned models offer several storage areas, all at different temperatures, designed to keep a variety of foods fresh for longer. Most manufacturers now offer adjustable shelf heights and storage units which simplify food storage. Hamilton Beach 76500 Walk 'N Cut Cordless Can Opener
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. |
