🥫 Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Can Opener (Model 76606ZA) - Easy Push Down Lever, Opens All Standard-Size and Pop-Top Cans, Extra Tall Design - Black and Chrome Finish Review

Like many others, I really liked the can opener when it was new, but after months/years of daily use, cans wouldn't open without a few passes. And doing multiple passes has resulted in people complaining about tiny metal shavings. So I decided to take the opener apart (4 screws on the back) and see if I could find a way to fix it.

It's very easy to…

I've seen reviews from others that this opener leaves metal filings on the edge of the can after opening. I thought maybe someone misused it or someone has a defective unit so I ordered it to be sure. Of course, the first and every can I opened with it had metal splinters on the outer edge of the can when I opened it.

At first I really liked the can opener. There are no sharp edges and it opened all cans with no problems. After two months he has NOT opened ANY cans. Absolutely none, even after (I thought) thorough cleaning. I will be in touch with Hamilton Beach shortly for a repair or replacement under the product warranty. Lets see what happens. Update: I have read the warranty carefully and realized that I am responsible for shipping BOTH ways for repair or replacement. Shipping will no doubt cost more…
