Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zyliss Safe Edge Can Opener, White
Customer Review: Good can opener for typical small to medium sized cans
Summary: 4 Stars
Locking this can opener onto the top of a can might take a little getting used to the first time you do it. After that, you just turn the handle until you are done. I imagine you might need to use it to lift the lid on rare occasions, but it won't usually be necessary.
The blade wheel, which is the black and stainless steel wheel, is set back about 2mm from the sides of the recess for the can, and it also slants to one side. So if the can gets big enough, you will reach a point where there's not enough curve to allow it to fit. The breaking point is a bit smaller than the size of cans you get in warehouse stores or see in restaurant kitchens.
On a typical sized can, this opener is easy to use, does a great job, and leaves a clean cut. But the first time I tried this opener, I had to use considerable force and eventually gave up. I then noticed that the edge of the can rubbed through the opener on one side, and the force was needed because the can was jammed against the opener. DON'T USE THIS ON LARGE CANS!
I'd recommend this for left handed users, even though the blade tilt makes the can opener technically right handed. But you can turn the top handle clockwise with your left hand if you want to. If you turn it the other way, it will slip off. Clockwise is not truly "backwards" as it is with a pseudo left handed cheese grater, or other similar item with a handle on the side.
The bottom line is that aside from the cosmetic damage caused by using this on a big can, I still have a good opener.
