Customer Review: Just Throw A Can At It And It Works
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps, like me, you have long been a member of the can-opener-of-the-month club. You have purchased ones that seem to have been made of biodegradable materials, so quick is their deterioration. Or fitting the can in its proper place is a task for a mechanical engineer. Or take my last one; it was impossible to clean, and simply hated to be bothered with opening a can.
Take heart. The higher price for this built-like-a-tank can opener is well worth it. Simply throw a can in the general direction of the Cuisinart and it does its job (I can't understand the complaints of others in this regard; this is by far the easiest to operate electric opener that I have ever owned). The opening mechanism pulls right out for cleaning without requiring some secret code to attain its release. Its above average weight makes it stand firm on the counter, defying any can to try and tip it over. If this opener falls apart I will simply have to go back to mechanical openers. Mine has been working without complaint for several months now. That's a near record time in my house.
It is now May of 2007, and time to update this review. The above part of the review was written in 2003. Unfortunately parts of the opener that get wet when in use tend to rust. After 3 years of use the magnet that holds the can lid from falling into the can rusted through completely, and fell off. I am faced with the choice of either fishing the lid out of the can by hand, or buying a new opener. Doesn't anyone make a perfect electric can opener? Sigh. I must say, though, it was a good machine while it lasted. No other electric can opener that I've owned has lasted 3 years.
