Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OneTouch Can Opener
Customer Review: Cute, but cute doesn't open cans
Summary: 1 Stars
My mother had come to live with us, so we bought this opener thinking that it would be the perfect solution for her arthritic hands, which can no longer even comfortably use a standard electric can opener. It was novel and fun to watch the little robotic thing open a few cans, even though it was so slow you'd starve before it got the can open. After a few uses, the opener kept getting stuck on cans, and we had to pry them off. Finally a piece of can wouldn't pry loose, and the opener was caput. I'd estimate that it opened perhaps a dozen cans successfully before our $20 went "down the drain." Probably not worth it.Customer Review: Dangerous - Beware

I had a similar can opener many years ago and thought this was like that one. It separated the top of the can from the bottom by undoing the seam and there was no sharp edged on the lid or container,
I made the great mistake on operating on this assumption and gave one to my 96 year old mother who by the way, is still quite active for her age.
When she used it he lid came off quite easily but she in getting out the food from the can cut her knuckles and finger so severely she had to go to the hospital for stitches.
If you insist on using this product keep your wits about you and do not let your children near it.

I had seen TV commercials for this and it looked so nifty so I order one for my 92 year old mother. It only made it about 1/4 of the way around the can when it jammed. I followed the included instructions and used the reset button multiple times. It still couldn't move on. With difficulty I was able to get it off of the can, using the reset button and another trick they described in the instructions. Then I realized that, if it had taken the lid off, it would have left sharp edges at the top of the can. I had mistakenly assumed it was like those safety can openers that cut through the lid from the side and leave no sharp edges. I would rather have the sharp edges on the lid as in old-fashioned products than at the top of the can, that is if it worked. Needless to say, I returned it.Customer Review: Disappointed

I bought this item in spite of the negative reviews. I already owned one myself and also got one for a friend. Each worked. This one I bought for an elderly woman who had difficulty seeing. It worked to open ONE can. Then it quit while opening the next can. It is still stuck to that can. Trying to reset it was unsuccessful. An e-mail to the selling company was ignored. I am very disappointed!Customer Review: Disposable Can Opener
Summary: 2 Stars
The can opener works great and then will run out of battery life in the middle of opening a can. At that point, there is no way to get it off the can, so you must toss both the can and can opener in the trash. I cut my finger trying to get the can opener off the can. Mine ran out of batteries after opening eight cans. I would not recommend buying this product.
