Hamilton BeachSmooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener with Easy Push Down Lever, Eliminates Sharp Edges, Opens All Standard-Size and Pop-Top Cans, Extra Tall, Black and Chrome (76606AG)

This Hamilton Beach can opener is my first experience with the side-cutter style, and I am extremely pleased with it. It is so nice to be able to clean opened cans without worrying that I will cut my hand on a sharp edge. The first few times I used this can opener I had difficulty telling when it had completed the cut, but soon I got the hang of it. I've been using it for about 6 months now and it has flawlessly opened all can sizes. This is the best can opener I've ever owned.

Originally thought this thing was neato. Then I realized some idgit changed how can openers work and this thing just tries to cluster F its way into chopping the whole damn lid off. This might be fine if the cans were made of flimsy whimsy but alas most canned products are actually made in durable cans that this little b word cant fn slice through. Ingenuity doesnt mean crapping on my canned goods...

I have bought two of these can openers! One for me and one for my daughter. It is durable. It is the perfect size. It opens cans and leaves smooth edges. There are no sharp edges left on the can or the removed lid. The magnet is string enough to hold the cans with ease.

Wow! I’m not sure if it’s me or if cans have gotten much harder to open. Plus, I have developed some painful arthritis in my right hand, so it has gotten really difficult to turn a manual can opener. I used this for the first time last night and opened about seven cans in the time it would’ve taken me to open or three manually. It is perfect. Fast, easy and NO PAIN! I can’t believe I’m just now getting this. !!!

I've never paid so much for a can opener. I read reviews carefully and research all websites and options on everything I buy on or offline. It's mostly made of plastic, even the parts that appear to be metal. The day of sturdy appliances at a reasonable price are long over. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to work it. It doesn't have a viewable blade like all others I've had in the past. It cuts reasonably clean. Prevents cuts from sharp metal. No rippling of kids. I'm in the habit of having my hand underneath the cans while opening them, then I removed the tops from the cans. Perfect size for my needs. Doesn't slide off the counter while in use. The fact that it's mostly plastic and won't hold up as long as a traditional can opener, as well as the high cost, was the reason for my 4 star review. I imagine that top bit you press on will be the first thing to go. My last Hamilton Beach can opener held up fairly well. It started to smell strange, like burning out strange, but still worked. I was anticipating the motor going out soon, so I replaced it with this one. It matches my kitchen. Basic black and silver goes with everything.

This is one of the best automatic can openers I have ever purchased. Very smooth and I like that the lid cuts on the outside so there are no sharp edges.

This is our second purchase on this can opener. The first lasted almost 5 years. The motor and controls still work, but the blade got dull. So, we bought another.This item gets our highest buy recommendation, its durable compact and cuts a clean lid with no sharp edges. If you need a can opener there is no better one than this Hamilton Beach model.

This can opener sure beets the hand model that cut the can top at the edge. Now that we have used for several months we will not go back. So far, cleaner cuts, no metal shavings. Can top acts as a lid. Whats not to like?
