KitchenAid Can Opener Blue  Product Reviews

"I agree with Susan Thorson and M. Taylor "mtpaperworks" reviews. I really love Kitchenaid products, especially my professional stand mixer. All of them have worked wonderfully... Except for this one. When it arrived, it seemed high quality: it was very heavy, felt smooth when cutting, and was easy to hold onto. However, within a month, it was having difficulty with certain can sizes. Now it is three months later, and it doesn't successfully open anything. This is not due to blade dullness: the can and can opener won't line up correctly. It was actually easier for me to use a bottle opener to pry open my two cans than to use the can opener. In fact, I got angry and threw it away yesterday! I'm amazed, because I've never had a can opener just go "kaput" like this one did. Kitchenaid is a great company overall, but skip this product."

"Every manual can opener I've had in the past eventually got rusted and had to be replaced. I've had the KitchenAid for nearly 3 years and it still works like new. Punctures the can easily, cuts smoothly, and no rust. Maybe the ones with bad reviews got faulty openers, or must open a ton of cans - who knows. I love mine - got my mom one right after I got mine, and she loves it too. "

"I was very excited about this opener since it would be easy to get in and out without taking up the space on the counter or in the drawer. It feels great in your hand and very heavy-duty and easy to use. AT FIRST! After only a handful of uses, it seems to have slipped off track and will not grip a full turn giving a cut, uncut, cut, uncut can. I can't say that the blade is dull because it won't cut and cuts so inconsistantly. I have to go around the can multiple times and even then I sometimes give up! I will not waste my time returning it because so many others have had problems with it that I think I will just get the one that fits on my mixer instead and save my sanity!"

"Excellent tool for the kitchen. It is quite smooth and I find it quite durable and well-made"
