Great can opener. Zyliss makes a ton of gadgets that I love.

The best can opener I ever used they last long this is my 2nd one

HelloThe first time I used this can, I noticed it did not work as well as my former OXO. It was not as easy to turn and the edges were not smooth. The second time I used it I noticed that there were tiny slivers of the can sticking up and when I looked into the can there were very fine pieces of the can in the food. I had to throw both cans out that I opened and will not use this can opener again. Unfortunately I was past the date of being able to return it.If you like this opener - please be careful and check to make sure can shavings are not in your food!

Pro: This works well and cuts the lids off great. Con: I use this for opening dog food cans that I don't use all of the contents at he first time opening. if you like having the top rim of the can on there as to assist in gripping and lifting the can out of a rack in your fridge or so, this may not be the opener for you. Since this cuts the whole top of the can off right below the top, it removes and strength and stability in the top of the can meaning when you grip it later if need be, it squeezes in and makes it hard to grip well. Other than that, if you only open cans for a one time use, this is an excellent tool and NEVER leaves any part of the lid you need to wiggle to break off to remove.

I paid about $8 for this red safety can opener by Zyliss sold by Amazon. Overall, it works fine but I am not sure how durable the plastic will be long term.The can opener isn't intuitive to use. If you look underneath you can see the 2 circular cogs that will do the cutting. If you spread the handles of the opener, you will see the space between the 2 cogs open up to 1/4 inch. The handles only spread apart about and inch so you might think it's stuck or broken. However, the 1/4 inch space between the 2 cogs is all you need.The can opener goes ontop of the can. The tricky part is to have the lip of the can go in between the 2 cogs underneath. You can't see it so it has to be done by "touch". You have to "feel" the lip getting caufht between the cogs. Once it's in place, you can close the handles to clamp the lip of the can in place. At this point you still have to grip the handles closed and begin turning the crank.Once you go completely around the can, you can lift the opener up. There is a magnet that lifts the lid and attaches to the opener. Open up the handles and shake the lid off.The edages of the can might still have some sharp edges so be careful. This can opener is much better than the traditional openers that leave the lids with jagged edges.This opener is also easier to crank than the sideways safety can openers. I bought one of those single handle black rod can openers where the crank is on the side and they were much more difficult to turn the crank, (especially if you have arthritis).Overall, this safety can opener works just fine.

Amazingly easy to safely open any can and you don't have to wash it after each use because the blade never touches the food.! If I could have rated it ten stars I would!

I always prefer these can openers that cut the can open without making a sharp disc that falls into the can, is hard to dig out, or stays partially attached to the can. This one works like that- it cuts a smooth edged disc that comes right off. One nice feature is that the disc stays attached to the can opener until you release it, so you don't have to handle it at all if you don't want to touch it. The main problem with this can opener is that it should cut the lid in such a manner that the lid fits back onto the can, so that the cut off lid can still function as a lid that keeps the food in the can fresh. But this can opener cuts a wonky opening that is smooth and safe, but somehow doesn't quite allow the lid to sit back onto the can nicely. Since that is really the main reason I like this kind of can opener, I can't recommend this one. Spend a few extra dollars to get one that really works well. This one is also made of fairly lightweight plastic, which I think might not hold up over time, and it makes me worry that the blade mechanism, which is working OK now, might also not be great quality- and maybe that's why it doesn't cut a lid that can fit back on the can.

Bought one of these years ago at a home goods store. It finally snapped in half recently, which I admittedly probably could have avoided but was likely being too forceful. Glad to find the same brand replacement, it is working great so far. It's not super sturdy feeling, but I think as long as you take your time and patience operating this, it should last a long time. Works great on all cans I've tried it on, even taking off the tops of soda cans.

Muito fácil de usar. Abre maravilhosamente bem, e não é preciso esforço. Basta encaixar o abridor direitinho na horizontal. Atenção, funciona ao contrário dos tradicionais " borboletas", quando usamos o abridor na vertical.

It's very easy use.

Simplemente el mejor abrelatas. Me encanta que zilyss lo siga haciendo. Es mi segundo abrelatas mismo diseño y marca que después de 20 años de Uso reemplazo porque obvio después de tantos años ya costaba trabajo.Infinitamente agradecida que lo volví a adquirir. Espero que después de 20 años lo sigan haciendo. NUNCA LO CAMBIEN!!!

I bought this can opener to replace a very old one which bears the same name...On trying to use it I had difficulty engaging it onto the rim of the can...After some minutes I managed to open the can---but it left a jagged piece of steel which could result in a nasty cut to a hand...Maybe this was a "One off" but certainly don't want to risk it again...KC.

Looks OK but could not open the first can tried. It was a fairly large tin , but standard size tin of fruit. The design with the cutting wheel in the middle of the tool made it harder to use than the cheapest supermarket style opener
