Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety LidLifter/Can Opener with Ring-Pull, 8 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches, Red

Works very well. Fits on the top of the can and cuts the side under the lip. Results in safer can lid to handle. Has a little gripper beak you can use to grab the cut lid. Seems like good quality and not too hard to turn. Recommended!

I have purchased many can openers over the years and ever single one has either stopped working or just broken completely. This is by far the best, easiest, safest can opener I have ever had. It's super easy to use, even with my arthritic hands. You just place it on the can edge and turn. It has little teeth to pick the can lid up once it's opened. The edge of the can and lid are completely smooth, no sharp edges anywhere. And when you're done you can put the lid right back on the can as a top! I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you have trouble with your hands.

This can opener is a replacement for one that I gave to a friend. The can opener is easy to use and works extremely well. The best part is that it makes a smooth can cut that does not risk cutting anyone when touching the lid or the can. The safety aspect is super valuable on its own. The grip is good and is not too small or too big and it has been great for me for years now. I actually think its more durable than my KitchenAid can opener that no longer works! Also, if you like red, its a very nice shade. :)

After spending a lot of money on many can openers that would just bend, skip, and not work this was the first one to work perfectly. This can opener works on all of our cans no matter the size. It worked so well the first time that we thought we were using it wrong. When we were first testing the can opener we went around the can once but weren’t sure if it actually opened. So my I went around again and still weren’t sure it actually opened so just to try it we used the “claw” to grip the lid and it just popped right off. So we tried another can but this time we only went around once to see if we just didn’t know the first can was opened the first pass. The second can after just one rotation easily peeled off with no effort at all. When you use the cutter it leaves the can lid barely attached but also somewhat still sealed. The little claw grabber always you to easily grab the lip of a can and like a sticker peel off the lid leaving little to no sharp burr on both the can or lid. The grip is comfortable along with the turn handle. We have opened about a hundred cans at this point and this can opener is still sharp and performs just as good as the day we bought it. Overall this product is very well designed and durable and most importantly just works exactly like you would expect a can opener to work.

It looks nice. It does open cans splendidly. Its one handed self clamping wheels are rather ingenious. And it can be used equally easily right or left handed. But there are two things I consider flaws. One minor, the other major. And they may not be issues for everyone, but they are for me. 1) The mechanical housing is not watertight. When I got the can opener, the first thing I did was hand wash it with warm soapy water per the packaging instructions. While I have heard this can opener is dishwasher safe, the packaging does not say so. As a bit of a clean freak, I intend to put it in the dishwasher for sanitization if there is any doubt in my mind about its cleanliness. The quick minute wash I gave it resulted in about a tablespoon of water inside the can opener's mechanical housing. I shook the can opener, vigorously and strategically, to drive as much water as I could back out, but I do not want to do this every time I wash it. And ignoring it will result in a bacterial breeding ground inside the can opener. I consider this a major design flaw, but for those who never wash their can openers, it will be a non issue. 2) This can opener does not have a bottle opener. After searching the reviews on amazon and the questions section, and seeing nothing on the subject, I resorted to surmising that the metallic dock-tie-down-looking protrusion on the left is a bottle opener. I was wrong. This is a button for clamping the built in pliers on the right. While I think it is absurd to have those tiny pliers on a can opener, it seems fashionable as many competing tools have them as well. Still, it is more absurd that no safety can opener seems to have a bottle opener on it! If you have another can opener, or a separate bottle opener, than this will again be a non issue. But to me it is ridiculous. Lastly, the can opener feels sturdily built except for the plier closing button, which is slightly loose and rattles in its socket. And the handle, though thoughtfully designed, is a little short. I do not have massive hands, but if I press my wrapped fingers forward to the finger guard, my hand still hangs an inch off the back. Not a big deal, but something worth noting if you have very large hands. Overall, a fine can opener with a few problems, be they major or minor, that keep it from being perfect.

Lost my 30+ yo Kuhn Rikon can opener in a house fire and very happy to find a replacement. Just as durable and well made. Slightly different design, but easy to use. Removes the lid along the seal without cutting the can. I love the pinchers for grabbing the lid. Never have to touch one. Just open a can, grab the lid with the pinchers, rinse it off when recycling, and drop it in the garbage. If I'm doing a lot of cooking and have multiple cans, I'll remove and rinse the lids, then pop them all inside their rinsed cans before recycling. Either way, this is the best can opener. Beats any hand held or electric opener for ease of use and cleanup. Occasionally, I will need to rinse it off, but it stays clean for the most part. I've acquired arthritis since receiving my original, and still prefer a Kuhn Rikon to anything else.

I have used other products from Kuhn Rikon in the past. Particularly pressure cookers, so I might be biased. I have also used several of this type of 'safety' or 'magic' can openers in the past. From my perspective, this is the best and easiest to use can opener that I have ever used or owned, and I am now almost 70, so that's a lot of can openers. Unlike some other openers of this type, it is especially easy to position and engage on the cans. The previous opener that this one replaced (a British one that resembles the Amazon Basics Safe Cut in appearance) was designed to be simplified, but was virtually impossible to position. Not so, this one. Just as the instructions explain, simply align the two semi-circular 'aiming' cutouts on the body and turn the knob about half a turn to engage and lock it on the can. It's really that simple and easy. After that, I find it easier to hold the knob in place and then move the longer handle to rotate round the rest of the can. Once a lack of resistance is felt, the lid has been separated from the can and a half-turn anti-clockwise of the knob releases the opener from the can and lid (which remains in place). The integrated 'pincher' does actually work to fully detach the separated lid from the can. Because of the way these types of opener operate, once the lid has been separated from the can, a vacuum exists within the can, particular if maintained by liquid within the can. This is not a major deal, but often means that it doesn't detach easily by itself. A fingernail, knife etc will work too, but with the aforementioned pincher, it's a breeze to accomplish without getting any liquid on your hands. As others have attested, this type of opener leaves a replaceable lid to the can without leaving any jagged edges. If you have kids or are worried about cutting yourself (like I am), you should probably use one of this type of opener, even if not this specific one. The only thing that I'm not so sure of is the hook for cans that come with ring-pull lids. I tried it only once (on a can of sardines) and it simply pulled the ring-pull out of the lid without removing any of it from the can. As I said, I love this can opener and would certainly recommend it to anyone. I expect it to last for a long time, but if it ever wears out, I would certainly buy another one without hesitation. I neither work for nor am I affiliated with either the manufacturer or Amazon. I just like this product and Kuhn Rikon, in general.

This is a great invention and works very well. Costs less here than elsewhere. Don’t hesitate on purchasing it.

This isn't just any can opener its a Kuhn Rikon can opener, which means it doesn't open a can as normal it peels the lid of the way it was put on, meaning that there are no sharp edges, sort of, there are still sharp edges but not that you can cut yourself by accident, its as easy to use as a normal can opener but I get the feeling that this one will actually last for years and that the "teeth" that grip the lid will not wear away and make it slip. All that said I would recommend it to family and friends

Does exactly what it says. Easy to use, cuts through every can nicely, picks up the lid and leaves no sharp edges.

Been through too many cheap tin opener's to count. This has lasted ages and has no signs of degradation to the action. Opens tins easily and leaves no sharp edge which is a nice touch. Very easy to use and action is very smooth. I’d say I would buy again, but I’m not sure I’ll need to with how well it works.

Todo perfecto

La marca lo dice todo, la verdad ya me había cansado de otros abrelatas que al final siempre se oxidan fácilmente o se descomponen, aunque el precio es mas elevado que otros la calidad es muy buena, es super sencillo de abrir, no deja los bordes de la lata filosos y saca completamente la tapa sin dejarla "mordisqueada". es muy sencillo de utilizar. Lo volvería a comprar.
