Hamilton Beach Walk 'n Cut Electric Can Opener for Kitchen, Use On Any Size, Automatic and Hand-Free, Cordless & Rechargeable, Easy Clean Removable Blade, Black (76501G)

I have two of these at my other house, but I needed one here to open cans. I already knew that these can openers were very good and worked the best. It is especially significant to realize the difference in this type of can opener from the regular ones. Several years ago, I had large cans that needed to be opened. However, regular can openers can only handle sizes up to a point. This one can go around whatever size can you want. It can go around the world if it had enough battery charge. I pulled this thing out of the box and immediately plugged it in to charge in order to be able to test it for this review. I went outside to water my corn in the garden and came back in and decided to try it out. I tried looking around for some old cans that I could try it out on, and I was not finding any. My wife found a fresh can of beans that she wanted, and I tried it out. The dang thing just went around and cut it open, just like I have seen it do for over 10 years now. So, they have it charged before delivering. Great. Didn't know that. As a minor note, most can openers have a problem with how to connect the can to it and start the motor. This one is no exception. You have to kind of look up in there where the blade is and connect the can just right. It takes a little practice, but it is doable. I am a fan of this little can opener. It is about my 4th one. The other ones are still working well after 10 years. I tried the other cheap ones, but it was pitiful. I was making spaghetti meat sauce and needed to open about 6 or 7 cans of tomato sauce. The cheap can opener that I had bought was really difficult. It would work for a second or two and then disconnect. I had to start it over. But, I had to keep doing this over and over. That's when I decided to buy this can opener that I have seen working before.

As we get older, life tends to mess with our bodies. Such is the case for me. Arthritis and capal tunnel wrists ache. Even my manual opener gives me issues. I didn't want a large electric opener taking space in my small kitchen. This little miracle has helped A LOT! It pretty much does all the work. A little tricky to figure out at first, but once I did...can opening is easy. It's rechargeable, easy to clean and stops automatically then the job is done. Small enough that it sits nicely in a drawer til needed. This little thing would be an EXCELLENT gift for aging parents and limitedly abled people. Not sure about younger kids though due to the sharp blade. So glad I made the purchase...price great too. Just wish this company would come up with a jar opener that's as easy to use! Great purchase!

The item works excellent, however it was dropped once and the plastic.. doesn't look like it will survive a second fall. Make sure there is a VERY wide area cleared around the can and far away from the edge of the counter if you have limited counter space.

I really love this can opener. If you have no strength, this, we’ll do it.. no more manual can openers. Just charge and go! I love it because you can open anything without being plugged in or holding it like we used to well, it was opening. Best invention ever. Thank you so much.. I have two of them. That’s how much I love it.. you can charge it and take it outside. Take it to picnic Beach parks, etc.. Me gustó este aparato, porque lo cargas y te lo llevas. Lo puedes usar en la playa en el parque en donde tú gustes.. nosotros lo usamos en casa, pero afuera. Lo usamos para abrir latas grandes como el mixtamal para el pozole, sin tener que encargar el bote. Yo tengo 21 para mí y uno para mi mamá

Bought this thinking Hamilton Beach is a reliable brand. Was not the easiest to use. It broke after 9 months' of not very frequent use. Appealed to the manufacturer. They offered to replace (and this was not a quick process) the unit IF I paid $15.95 for shipping! That is absurd - more than half the price of the product. I politely declined. They sell a defective product and then I have to pay an absurd amount to have a replacement. I don't think so. I will look to buy another brand

This is really useful. It's smaller than our previous buys, but we really like it. Doesn't take up a lot of room on the counter, which is good. Love the bright red color.

Opens cans of all sizes well. Lever that engages blade is very cheaply made and breaks easily. NiMH battery technology doesn't last - have to keep charging it as it doesn't keep a charge very well.

Item lasted 2 years and stopped working. I had ordered a 2nd one as a gift and just found out it is not working either. I probably used it about 2 - 3 times a week. very disappointing. now i have to look for something else
