Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of West Bend 77203 Electric Can Opener, Metallic
Customer Review: Decent Can Opener - So Far ...
Summary: 4 Stars
We've only used it a few times, but it seems to work well and does look nice. Only hitch so far is it took a few tries to get a larger can to hook in to open, but once it did action was smooth and thorough.Customer Review: Disappointing...
Summary: 2 Stars
After reading rave reviews about this (how can anyone get this excited about a can opener?) I bought it. After a year and a half, the blade is dull, it rips the paper off the outside of the can which wads up and lands on the cupboard, and the lid inevitably falls into the can most of the time, so I always have to dust off the lid before opening so dust doesn't fall inside the can. This type of can opener (top-cutting) leaves very sharp edges and the lid cannot be replaced on the can without falling in nor can it open pull-top lids. I won't ever buy this kind again. I had a side-cutting can opener before this (creating a smooth, non-sharp, replaceable lid), which isn't made anymore. I just purchased a hand-held smooth-edge can opener (Fissler) and will put this one in the garbage dump where it belongs.Customer Review: Dogs on a diet
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two dogs on a diet and so buy LARGE cans of green beans; the last can opener I gave to rummage sale because it wouldn;t open the cans without a hassle. This opener does the job quickly; you do have to support the can because of its large size and heavy weight though. Great can openerCustomer Review: Don't put the pop off piece in the dishwasher
Summary: 4 Stars
I mainly bought this can opener because it looks cool and I could take the cutter piece off to wash. Howerver don't put it in the dishwasher because the little springloaded magnet piece that holds the can in place won't stay in the upright position so hand wash only!Customer Review: Efficient and Reliable Can Opener
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very reliable and easy-to-use can opener at a reasonable price. It hugs cans nicely with a strong grip and makes slick work of the cutting. Down sides are that it is lightweight and doesn't feel very anchored on the counter, and my husband doesn't care for the shape of the press-down lever. If you are used to pressing down with your hand on a lever with a flat surface, it may seem a little uncomfortable. However, if you pinch it between your thumb and pointer finger and pull down, it is a perfect fit. In fact, it seems ergonomically designed to fit this way. All in all, I am very happy with it.
