Securimax Auto Can Opener - Patented Safe Edge Technology with Lid Lifter - Leaves No Sharp Edges on Lid & Can - Heavy Duty Non-Slip Knob - Grey

I have struggled with can openers for years. This one is fantastic and opens cans easily. I have had it for months now, and it's a good as new. It works by removing the entire lid, which is much smarter. It seems very sturdy, and the wheel turns easily.

Easy to use. Performs well

Simple to use. I'm not expecting this mostly plastic devise to last a long time. It is perfect for removing the can's top safely. It is a good product. I do wish it was more durably crafted.

Easy to use. Quick. Safe for children and elders. Very durable and good quality.

Cuts easlily with no worry of getting cut yourself. Love it!

We needed to replace our old Pampered Chef opener that died. I researched a bunch of openers and decided on this one. It has worked well. No regrets, even though it was a bit pricey.

Awkward to use. The grip on the lid and cutting mechanism slips as it cuts, making the process of removal a chore. The can opener starts fine, turning the can as you go, but it quickly slips off and you have to attach the can opener repeatedly to go all the way round, fighting to get a cut in fluid once-round top removal. The crank knobe is textured with hard plastic and, after one can cut, your finger are a bit raw from the friction. And removing the excised lid it’s a struggle to release the lid. A quick release mechanism would work wonders. The current release is by changing the direction of the cut turn (opposite turn of crank) sometimes work, sometimes pulling the can opener and lid apart with a plier. Final thought: cool concept but better examples of this design can be found.

Works great

Lo amé. Bonito diseño, no deja orillas filosas, fácil de usar. Los abrelatas que había en el súper eran caros y sin estética

This can opener is the best in the world, bar none. I've been using one for the past 25 years and it is still going strong. To use, you just make sure the cutting wheel is on the outside of the can's lip, and the serrated driving wheel is on the inside and start turning the butterfly knob clockwise. After about 13 to 14 half-turns, a 19oz can should be open. Less turns are needed for a 14 or 10oz can. You should feel a certain slackness suddenly happen to the turning knob. That's an indication the cutting wheel has come into the groove it had started cutting in the can top a full turn ago, and the cutting of the can top is done and the can should be fully open. Just apply a slight back-turn on the knob to release the cutting wheel and use the pincers on the side of the opener (a 90 degree turn to the right does it) to grab the can top, press down on the black button on the now top of the opener (originally the left side of the device) and lift the top a little then twist lightly to right and left to get the gum to let go of the can top. It should come off very easily. Since the cut happens directly on the lip where the can top overlaps the wall of the can, there are no sharp edges to cut you because the bottom part of the outer edge of the lid is still attached to the outside wall all around the can. Hence the name Securimax of this opener. This opener can open any can of any size or shape, aluminium or steel. I have opened rectangular sardine and fish fillet cans as well as the bigger oval cans holding big sardines. Even cans with hooks in them so you can open them without a can opener, but which leave you with a dangerously sharp can top and inside edge on the top where you can very easily cut yourself, as when you are washing the can prior to putting it in the recycling bin. I'm surprised Starfrit is not keeping this item in constant production, because there is no way of getting this opener on the retail market. I tried a few months ago to obtain one from a known previoius retailer of this item (they still sell other Starfrit products of a similar nature) only to be told by the person in charge of ordering that even the company from which they obtained their stock didn't have any in stock and didn't know if they would ever get some any more. I bought these two to make sure I would have a replacement if ever my present opener's cutting wheel couldn't cut anymore, as there is no way to change a used part on this. The only way Starfrit could improve on this opener would be to make an electric model. I would prefer a plugged-in model for the torque needed to open a can. Also they could develop a model for restaurants with a long handle so they could open bigger, 48 and 64oz cans, even gallon-sized cans, at that.

This can opener works extremely well. It cuts the lid cleanly from the side, and the edges come out perfectly smooth with no sharp parts at all. Very safe to use and won’t cut fingers.

Magical! Was able to quickly open a can of tuna with no sharp edges on either side

Mon type d'ouvre canne préféré. Il coupe bien et ne laisse pas de rebords tranchants ni sur la canne, ni sur le couvercle. La petite pince sur le rebord nous permet d'enlever le couvercle une fois couper. Ceux que j'ai connu qui l'on m'ont dit qu'il était résistant et durable. 2 points que j'aime moins : -Si la canne est bissée au a l'extrémité, l'ouvre canne ne fonctionne pas parfois. -Parfois difficile a faire lâcher la canne une fois ouverte. Il faut tourner la manivelle en sens inverse mais il reste parfois bloqué sur la canne.
