Smooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener with Easy Push Down Lever

This is a great quality can opener. I have issues with my hands and I had previously purchased electric can openers which broke very quickly. I know Hamilton Beach makes a great quality product, so I decided to try this can opener. It works very, very well. When the can is opened, there are no sharp edges, which makes it a very safe product. I can press the opener down with the heel of my hand, and that makes it easy to use. As a bonus, it came with a very sharp pair of scissors which sits in a pocket in the back of the can opener, making it very handy and convenient. All in all, a wonderful quality product.

After the thing I was fighting...this opener is wonderful! The can opener is sort of Murphy proofed. You can't screw it up. The really cool thing is the lids are not a danger and neither is the can. The opener dulls both as it opens. Also another cool aspect is...remember pushing the opened lid down into the contents so you can get hold of the lid to remove it? You don't do that with this opener. It does not cut the lid from the top...it takes it off from the side of the can. It is a clean opener. All the hardware for cutting is exposed for inspection and cleaning if needed. I love it. Great designers. They deserve a big hand.

My old smooth edge can opener died, & I decided to get this one. It works very well. I don’t have any trouble getting the can placed in the correct position to cut. The can opener cuts cleanly & well. The sound changes when it has finished cutting. A time or two it hasn’t opened the can completely, so I just let go around again. It is much easier to use than my old one. I don’t regret buying it. I like having the scissors handy in the back & they cut pretty good, too.

This Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch automatic Electronic Can-opener will be the very best one you will ever purchase. I have purchased many other brands in my lifetime, but this one is TOPS. I bought one at a brick-and-mortar store which lasted for many years, much longer than any other, before the blade finally began to dull. I was so pleased with the first one, and was delighted to find another on Amazon. Another family member ordered one on my recommendation about 6 years ago and also raves over it! She then bought one for my newly married son and one for her elderly sister who was having constant, annoying problems with her can-openers after having to repeatedly replace them. All of us recognize and race over the quality and say it is the very best we've ever used. The push down, smooth touch feature works marvelously. It is very easy to use. I love that it produces a safe, smooth cut on an size can, versus a jagged edge. It is an extremely durable can-opener with a very stable, sturdy base that won't flip over. The blade can easily be removed for cleaning. As a great bonus, there is a little storage reservoir at the rear of it with a quality, handy pair of very sharp scissors which I use often for opening bags or packages of food and cutting labels. On the front of the can-opener, there is a notch with a 2nd small blade to trim across the top of a plastic bag to open it quickly without having to resort to using a knife or your teeth! The sound is smooth and quiet. One last thing, about the Amazon service on this item: the one I ordered for myself arrived quickly but defective. I phoned Amazon and received a free USPS shipping label and an immediate replacement. The others our family purchased had no defects. I highly recommend this can-opener over any other BY FAR!

I purchased this unit after my wife decided that her old opener was no longer satisfactory. As to what that means, I presently have no explanation. :P Anyway, she purchased a new, automatic opener that she rejected out-of-hand as it was exactly the same design as her old one other than it was made by a different company. The new opener was also very cheaply made in that it had certain, major components now constructed of plastic rather than sturdy metal. She purchased this without my input as she is very independent. We'll be donating this new opener to "Goodwill." As to this can opener, it is a solid, well built unit. It is significantly heavier which lends itself to greater stability when in use. The operating components, unlike other cheaper openers, are made of steel and there is no risk of breaking the operating lever when pressing down to activate the unit. It is quiet when operating and removes the can lids efficiently without residue. The opener holds the can once attached and when the operating lever is depressed to begin removal. The only issue, and it's minor, is that once you attach the can to be opened to the opener, one must continually hold the activating lever down to complete the opening of the can. At that point, one simply lifts the lever to remove the can. My wife states that her previous opener would open the can without the necessity of holding down the activating lever until the opening process was fully completed. Her old opener would open a can and simply stop when the can was opened. Of course, opening a can only takes about 5 seconds. That was her only complaint. UGH! This unit opens cans using a side action mechanism that leaves no sharp-edged lids to mess with. Very nice! A pair of small scissors is also a part of the package. Why such an item is included is incomprehensible to me. I suppose you can trim your toe nails with them while you open your cans. I paid about $63.00 as of this date (06/18/2025). This is a very good opener at a reasonable price.

LOVE this can opener! It is so simple to use, with minimal effort! Opens all types of cans! Perfect for the elderly, or not so elderly who have limited hand or arm use; great for children, as there’s no sharp edges. Best investment with high recommendation! It is very sturdy; sits very solid on the counter; has a cutting knob at the height of 6 3/4”, or can be placed at the edge of the counter to cut deeper cans. After checking many reviews and reading some people’s struggle with it, I’m including clear use instructions. Just pull up top lever; place and hold can underneath round turning knob; then, with free hand, push down lever half down to locked position, or proceed with pushing it all the way down to begin the cutting. As soon as the cutting sound becomes a little higher pitch, the cutting is done; release lever! Hold can with one hand and pull up lever with the other hand, to release the can. *** Lid is cut in the middle of the side rim; not underneath it (as I thought, at first.) I have had mine for several months, now, and it opens my cans, perfectly, every time! Includes a great and handy little scissor for other needs. Push lever down for storage.

Parfait, efficace facile à utiliser

Me ENCANTA. Lo uso incluso para las latas q traen "argolla" ya q retira toda la tapa limpiamente lo cual facilita vaciar el producto yevita posibles cortes en la piel

Opening cans is usually an annoying part when cooking but, this product makes it enjoyable to open cans. It is easy to use, quick, safe, and takes up very little room on the counter or in the cupboard after use. It opens cans uniformly and effectively and keeps the can sturdy after opening so nothing spills. Opens cans flawlessly every time and it was so good I had to buy two and have one at the cabin.

Ok i know it's "just" a can opener but it's an AWESOME can opener, so yes, I do love it! It's unique. It cuts the can lid on the side so there is no gunk on the can opener, no ragged dangerous edge and the cut off top of the can is like a lid. It's not messy! The top sits like a lid so you can move the can from one part of the kitchen to another without spilling and dripping. The lid cuts off completely and cleanly so no twisting that last bit not cut like other can openers leave. The lid doesn't fall into the can either so you don't have to fish it out, it just sits on top. My can opener sits on a side counter, away from where I prep so the top forming a "lid" is a big benefit. I don't store stuff in opened cans but you could pop the can in the fridge with any left over content using the cut off top as a lid. Can't do that with a "nornal" opened can. I have used it on very small ( tomato paste) and medium ( 400 ml )cans and it worked perfectly on all of them. I don't use really big cans like #10 ones so can't comment on how it works on those. Couldn't be more pleased. If you still have doubts I would suggest watching the videos online and you can see how well it works.
