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’ve used many can openers in my life, electric and manual. I favored manual over electric for years, easy to store and usable on many sizes of cans. Manuals have been difficult for me for several years, and it was impossible to find a good, new manual opener to replace my old, broken manual opener. Most countertop, electric can openers only open standard sized cans. This little Hamilton Beach ( 76501G ) can opener is the BEST, besides being adorable, it works great! I’ve had mine since 2023 and it still works well as of Feb. 2026. It circles the can quickly and even opens dented cans. It holds a charge well, though I use it often. It does not have a charge indicator light; I just charge it overnight when it gets slow. If I let it run completely out of charge, I just plug it in, wait about thirty seconds, leave it plugged in and it still opens the can quickly, but I hold the cord up a bit, out of the way, so it does not wrap around the can. I have used it to open the many sizes of round-top cans, including gallon size, large and small tuna cans, and tiny six-ounce cans. I hold the bottom of the six-ounce cans, or they will tip. Small tuna cans, I stack to open. I have not opened a rectangular, or triangular can yet. The magnet on the handle lifts the lid, when you lift the handle slightly. The handle also holds the blade, and easily removes from the unit by lifting slightly farther than just to remove the lid from the can. The handle may then be submerged to wash, but the rest of the unit can only be wiped with a damp cloth. When not in use, I keep my can opener in a bowl in the cabinet. The handle and unit housing are plastic, so it should be used without much force. It took me a bit to get accustomed to placing it properly on the can to cut, but I can do it with one hand now. I love this little can opener!

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.

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.

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!

This is a solid purchase and a must have for anyone in the kitchen...I ordered one for a friend after purchasing one for myself...opened over a 100 different cans so far and haven't recharged yet...just insane...it's quick too and self-balancing so you can hands-free it...small...size of a hockey puck...magnetic catch for the cut-out and nice inlay cutting prevents unsafe edges for handling...solid construction and geared low for results every time...no gimmicks or strings unlike cheaper versions...you'll get 10-15 years out of this easily and perhaps longer if you are easy on tools and take care of it.

Es muy fácil de usar! Lo compré para abrir latas grandes. Y funciona de maravilla.

Muy buen producto funciona muy bien

This is a small but worthy can opener. Opens virtually any size can and it runs a long time on a charge and charges reasonably fast. It does take a bit of practice, at first, to get it latched on, but once you get the knack of using it, it is a breeze. Love the thing. This is our second one we bought, just in case the originally purchased one gives up. We have had that one several years, still working fine, but nothing lasts forever. Don’t want to be without one.

Works well. Compact and reliable.
