Electric Can Opener, BangRui Automatic Can Opener One-Touch Start 4AA Batteries Operated Smooth Soft Edge for Seniors/ Arthritic Hands, Purple

The can opener is working very well. It opens cans faster than the one it replaces. It is easy to get the lid off with the magnet. It was well packed for shipping. I have not used it on the big cans that some people said they have trouble with, but on the small cans it is working well. The sound is much quieter than my old one that was a different brand. I like the purple color. The size makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use.. I would recommend this can opener without reservations. I like it had an extended warranty. I don't usual purchase those, but because the other one lasted less than a year, I viewed it as a sign I should get longer use -maybe 3 years - out of it. (I've only had it a months now.)Rosie

Purchased a battery-operated Bangrui can opener a couple of years ago , and loved it. Easy-to-use with handy auto-off feature; worked great every time. Decided to get a second one last month. Received it, and it was defective...would work one out of 10-12 times. Returned it and ordered a replacement. It too was defective. Used to be a great product. Now it’s trash..literally.

We bought this for a person with a paralyzed arm who needs a one handed solution to opening cans. We love it. It misses the fifth star by being quirky about getting the correct angle to get the cutter to perform (not flat on top of the can lid but inclined). It takes some learning to get the angle and start just right but after a few tries that becomes less puzzling and more reliable. Not infrequently we have to run it around a second time and sometimes it worked correctly the first time but the lid needed a prod to actually come off. Those drawbacks noted it stores nicely in a drawer (no clunky counter top plug in appliance). The lids can be reused to keep unused contents in the can in the refrigerator. The two handed family member prefers it to using arthritic hands on the old manual one. Cans vary in how they are capped so we don't have a 100% use on every can - only rarely is a can not openable with the machine. Well worth the money and a little practice. Also, the grandkids are fascinated by it.

IT WAS A LITTLE TRICKY GETTING IT TO WORK BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS OPENER I HAD. YOU HAVE TO LIFT UP THE BODY OF THE OPENER SLIGHTLY TO GET IT TO START WORKING. IT WORKS BETTER THAN THE LAST BRAND I HAD AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WON'T COLLECT THE "CRUD" ON THE CUTTER PART OF THE OPENER. ONCE IT STOPS CUTTING, YOU HAVE TO EXERT A LITTLE PRESSURE TO LIFT THE LID FROM THE CAN. ALSO THE EDGES OF THE CAN AND LID ARE NOT SHARP LIKE THEY WERE AFTER USING MY PREVIOUS OPENER.

My osteoarthritis makes it too painful to use a hand operated can opener any more. I have never liked the counter top electric can openers. I saw a similar one of these at someone's home and decided I needed one. I did a lot of reading of reviews and learned generally these probably won't hold up well but they do what they are meant to do in the meantime and this brand seemed to have the best reviews for operation and longevity, I bought the extended warranty to be on the safe side, which is a rarity for me. I've used this several times and I love it. Set it on the can, push the button and away it goes. It may have to go around the can more than once so just leave it alone until it comes to a halt. Then grab it and lift the front end first and the can lid will lift off with the magnet--most of the time--there seems to be a bit of an art to that part. The can lid is cut off in such a way you can place it back on the can and it seals for storage in the fridge. I really loved using it. It did begin to malfunction after a little over a year but kept working for a few more months then I used the insurance policy to obtain another one. The replacement quit after 6 months, new batteries, just stopped attached to a can, won't come off, guess I'll throw the whole thing away.

Works Great ! At first my wife angled the opener "to fit it on the edge of the can". The opener went aroundthe can but did not cut anything. Then, I showed her to lay it flat on the can but only be sure the cutter andgear are lined up with the edge of the can between them. Then just press the button, let go, no need to keepyour finger on it. Let it whir around until it stops. Ours will back up briefly to assure the can is cut and thenstop. Lift the opener off and you have a smooth edged top. Wonderful ! We only used it twice so far butthe BangRui Can Opener is a winner so far. Some people say it may not work on all cans. They found ifyou turn the can over and do the bottom it works. We did not have to do that. It worked great as advertised.

Evidently, I belong to the people who had no luck with this can opener. It takes 18 minutes of starting it and stiopping it when the blade doesn't catch; it cuts part way, which makes it hard to use a regular can opener afterward, and most of the time it just sits thrre, wasting batteries and will not catch on the lid. Supposedly, it was great for people with arthritis and would open any can. Well, not my cans. It will not open 50 oz. cans without more trouble than it is worth. I am so sorry I bought this piece of crap and I wish I had returned it, but every once in while it would work for 2 cans.

This is the best can opener! I gave these as Christmas gifts to my Mom, daughter, and son. They all love it. I LOVE that it opens the can at the top seam, and which means there are no sharp edges to cut your fingers. You can also put the top back on if you need to save part of the contents. It was an excellent gift and very easy to use. My 89 year old Mom has no trouble using this one with her arthritic hands!
