Review on ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ KitchenAid 8.34-Inch Black Classic Multifunction Can Opener with Bottle Opener by Scott Kulothungan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unfortunately disappointed Best in kitchen and dining area

I bought this opener to replace my old KitchenAid opener (this style is no longer available - this one seems the closest to what I had get). I opened two cans, one 32 oz, one 7 oz. In both cases, the opener did not cut cleanly, leaving two uncut marks on each can. No number of passes over these spots will result in the wheel cutting itself. I had to open them and nearly cut myself. Oddly enough, in both cases the "dead zones" were at the edge at 10 and 2 o'clock. The cans were different sizes and from different manufacturers, so I have to attribute that to the opener. The handle was difficult to turn, especially for my 68 year old hands, but I think it was mainly due to the cutting wheel not cutting. To the right. I had to squeeze it really hard to close it enough to even cut and hold it in place. Not what I would call ergonomic and certainly a lot worse than the previous opener I had. I was only looking for a replacement because after about 10 years the old one wasn't as sharp as it used to be and slipped off the rim every now and then. I don't feel like he owes me anything. But is this new? i wanted to love him i throw it away
