"This is the best can opener I have ever used before."
"I didn't understand how a simple can opener could have such a high rating, but then I bought it and used it."
"Excellent quality, it's locks down firmly allow you to release your grip on the handles and just turn the knob."
"I was expecting to be thrilled with product after seeing it received 4.5 stars and over 2400 reviews!"
"Broke after maybe 15 cans."
"Just doesn't work."
"If you tear the lid off afterwards it leaves a sharp pointed edge."
EZ Off's duel V-grip system will grab hold of any lid firmly allowing for a simple and near effortless twist to open a jar lid. THE EZ OFF JAR OPENER WILL OPEN TOUGH LIDS EFFORTLESSLY - EZ Off will grab hold of any lid whether it's factory sealed, child proof, tamper proof or just stuck from what's inside the jar.

INSTEAD: Install it with the V pointing towards you and put it as close as possible to the front of your upper cabinet and, if possible, right next to the right side wall of the lip that is under the cabinet (this last part is not really necessary, but I feel it will make the thing less likely to torque over time if your cabinet base is particle board). Pulling towards you is much easier than pushing away while turning. The design of this thing is perfect but what they do to make installation easy is even better and I don't know why makers of towel bars, racks, and other things that have to be mounted just where you want them, don't do this: They have attached an adhesive pad to the top of the opener and you peel off the paper and then stick it exactly where you want and then put in the screws. What makes this different is that the part the lid goes in is deeper and has 2 blades to grip the lid instead of one."
"It definitely grips the lids, but the sharp teeth leave sharp burs on smooth lids."
"Best money I've spent in a long time!!"
"It will open any bottle or jar from a nail polish size to a huge pickle or spaghetti jar lid."
"Bought this for my dad who has advanced arthritis."
"We had to add some wood to the bottom of our cabinet before this was able to be installed."
"Small jars, big jars, secured under the cupboard so far without needing the screws as the big sticky thing that holds it in place seems to be doing the job."
"If you have weak or arthritic hands this is the opener for you."

I asked around and this can opener (and other smooth edge can openers) were what was recommended. Overall, I can say that this can opener is worth every bit of what I've paid for it and I would absolutely buy it again."
"This is no surprise - it works perfectly, even on wee little tomato paste cans and big tins of cheap Christmas candy."
"The new opener arrived and after fighting with the clam shell to get at it, we started using it on our cans. Seems like such a waste to throw out the entire unit instead of being able to replace the cutting wheel, which is what we presume wore out."
"The best part about this tool is that it doesn't touch the contents in the can, so you can just throw it right back into your drawer after you're done."
"It works well once you get it to work but there is a little trick to getting the hang of this kind of opener."
"I had no idea anyone made a can opener like this that doesn't leave sharp edges. I had read the instructions where it said that you can't "see" the operation of the can opener as you do with traditional models. I did have to look at the picture to see how to "position" the can opener, with the OXO symbol at the top. It will take opening a few cans before I have the knack of positioning it correctly. I'm also very glad that the company packages these can openers so that they aren't broken when they arrive."

After getting hand cramps from my old manual opener, though, I finally opted for this Hamilton Beach model. I'd never much cared for the side-cut openers before because liquids inside the can seemed to spill more easily with the lower edge, so this higher-cutting model is much better IMO. The top push-down lever depresses easily and the magnet on the opener holds the can securely in place while it's cutting. I found that this is important because if you allow it to continue making rotations, it cuts long narrow slivers of the can which are noticeable when you remove the top (looks like a tiny strand of steel wool)."
"This Hamilton Beach Can Opener had caught my eye from all the great 5 Star reviews it showed, and from Reviews as far back as year 2009 which shows Hamilton Beach knows they have a high quality well built very popular can opener. The can opener is what you would design in your mind as having every feature a High Quality Can Opener would have, well designed and solidly built."
"I'm 72 years young and this is the BEST can opener i've ever owned or operated.!!"
"Came across the Hamilton Beach can opener and was surprised by all the great reviews and for $20 didn't feel like I was loosing much."
"Reviewers who said it has a short cord probably did not pull it all the way out."
"I love this can opener."
"I have always been hesitant to buy electric can openers because they can be a pain to line it up with the gears."
