Description of πŸ”’ Zyliss Lock N' Lift Manual Handheld Can Opener - 7" with Locking Mechanism, White/Gray

Locking mechanism securely locks cutting wheel in place to ensure a consistent cut and reduced strain on hands. Smooth & easy turning handle is made of a soft-touch design and helps eliminate hand fatigue for easier use. Durable cutting mechanism is made from a high-grade, sharpened stainless steel Wheel to puncture cans easily. Built-in magnet helps you lift the lid off the can for hands free disposal once finished opening. Modern design fits well with all kitchen styles and is more comfortable than traditional clunky openers.

Read one-star reviews. they are true

Very fragile. I assume that the plastic fasteners will break sooner or later. Especially the locking function. This is the weak part which I can't imagine withstanding the hands of different users. Too much force and I foresee it breaking. If it takes a few years I will change my rating. The magnetic part does nothing. I regret not buying a more durable standard can opener. Update: I re-read the 1 star reviews. .Everything they mention is true. I am also overwhelmed by the great reviews. Do…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Only available in black

It was PITA until I figured out why it worked selectively.

Opener on the right. What's wrong with a can opener. Works well for some banks. On others it didn't work and slipped when the handle was rotated and lifted to prevent the blade from cutting through the can. It took a lot of attempts to open a can. I finally had time to really look at this to see that the problem was WTH. It turns out that thicker metal cans put pressure on the opener, causing the top and bottom handles to stretch. The transmission loses traction and slips. I've found that…

Pros
  • As far as satisfied
Cons
  • Negative available

Don't be fooled by these 5 star reviews.

How can this get such a high rating I don't understand. Our old junk lived for many years, and since my wife is mostly into legumes (soups, chili, salads, etc.), we opened cans almost every day. So when it finally wears out, I figured it looks like a good "high tech" option. Boy was I wrong. It worked fine for about three months, maybe five, but I think because it's molded plastic it's lost the ability to properly track the edge of the can more than 1/8 of a turn. Then once it "jumps the track"

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Too long to wait

It only works sometimes!

Disappointed to find this can opener worth what it is and great Zyliss brand, it doesn't work every time. I think that's a little ridiculous. So I don't know if it's a defect or not, but it seems like the cutting blade is too far away from the "serrated blade" / "gripping washer" which is the part that keeps the opener attached and in place is side/outside of can/outside of lid. I have to sit there and fiddle with the angle and position and try to get the blade to drop the damn lid by hand like

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Clarity

Best can opener I have ever owned

After almost 4 months of use I can say this is without a doubt the best can opener I have ever owned including various electric can openers like Well. Over the years I've bought different types of can openers from different vendors and none - absolutely none - have worked as well as this one. In fact I would give a zero or possibly negative rating to all other openers that I have owned except for one electric opener that I have owned for many years which I would rate a 3. This opener is a solid

Pros
  • Fits me perfectly
Cons
  • No instructions
