Oxo Can Opener Smooth Edge in black, Nylon, 6.22 x 16.89 x 27.31 cm

Admittedly, only arrived today but it's clear that it works a darn site better than the cheaper ones I've bought in the past.There were no sharp edges at all and it was easy to turn the knob (which was big enough to get a good grip on).The little built in pliers that you use to grasp the lid worked fine.Delivery via Prime was as quick as predicted. Mine was a, cheaper, 'returned and re-sold' item so the packaging was a bit torn ... but I knew that and the item was in perfect condition.Very pleased. Recommended.EDIT. UPDATE 16/5/19It continues to be the best tin opener known to man. Faultless.

I used to have an old can opener - called the Topper - that, like this OXO, opened cans by slicing in where the side and the top join together, so that you get a smooth lip both on the lid and the can - no sharp edges. And, if you only use some of the contents, you can rest the lid back on the can and put it in the fridge - not sealed, but, at least, covered. The Topper died - it was rather old - and this OXO looked the best replacement: not only does it work in the same way, it also has built-in pincers to help remove the lid. And it's solidly made and chunkily comfortable in the hand. Hopefully, it will last the many years that its predecessor did.

Easy to turn , smooth action. Cuts the can's lid seam fold. Didn't think it had worked, it was so easy, 'til I pulled the top off with the built in pincer. The blurb is correct, no sharp edges. Even did a big Fray Bentos tin ! I'm opening cans for the sake of it and eating too much. It is designed to take the stress off of the mechanism so should last years. Nice piece of kit.

This item may take a few attempts to master at first, as the concept is quite different to the tin openers that most off us have grown up using. Please don't be put off by that though as this a great idea. It enables you to reuse the lid to re-seal the can you've just opened and the mechanism is smooth and easy to turn unlike some openers which leave your hands and fingers sore and tired.

Paid a lot of money for this and isnt very good to use. Have to go around tin 2 or more times to open it! Always had cheap tin openers that work very well. OXO make good products just not this one!

Brilliant can opener, I have arthritis in my hand and this is the best can opener I've ever had. At first you don't think it's working but you just flip the lid that has been made and you have a tin with smoothed edges and now a lid if you don't use all the contents. Very easy to use once you realise the can opener is cutting through. See the Oxo Good Grips video's on YouTube.

This is the best can opener ever. Great to hold, works perfectly, leavez a smooth edge, even replace the lid. Fantastic.

Wow! after a few months, I wonder: Why did I buy this? It takes up an inordinate amount of room in the kitchen drawer. It does work perfectly, as did most of the other can openers I bought, but there is an added complexity to using it in that you have to locate the tiny jaws on the side of the opener on to the lid side, squeeze and pull! Oh, and it cost a fortune for a can opener...
