Hamilton BeachWalk '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!

Have used it about half a dozen times thus far. Has been working well. I like that its size is small enough for easy storage. It cuts the can top from the inside of the can top so some caution required not to cut yourself.

Very cool device. works well . You dont even need to hold the can once the opener is attached to it.We chose this can opener because we didnt want the under the cabinet one that takes up valuable space or the counter top kind for the same reason. This opener will not fit in our standard silverware drawer. This was a bit of a disappointment, but we found a spot for it. It doesnt take up too much roomBe careful to keep track of the charging cord for recharging the opener. This is perfect for people with arthritis who cannot use the hand held openers

I used to have a larger, older model of this can opener by the same company. I absolutely love that model.I acquired this one with an assistance grant for people with disabilities while traveling for medical care because the other model is in a storage unit in another state several states away, and the budget portable manual can opener I had purchased was awful and causing me physical pain.My first thoughts about this one were positive: It's compact. It looks really cute. It charged quickly.But then reality set in...It's much louder than the older model. The battery life is bad.Worse, so much worse, is what it does to cans. The gear on the main unit is too big and sharp. As a result, it grinds the can leaving ground-up pieces of metal all over the counter and even on the lid.If you're not careful, these really large pieces, which aren't hair-sized slivers like some openers, can even fall into food. If you ever need an MRI for any reason, using this can opener can potentially expose you to the same level or more of metal that you would deal with when performing metal grinding as a hobby or for work. Given the size of these metal pieces, I'm actually worried now that I'll be refused an MRI or told to sign a waiver before having one because of this exposure.Anyway, I've now replaced it with a manual one that cuts through cans like a hot knife through butter with even less effort than I experienced with this electric can opener. And, best yet, there are no metal shards from the manual one.

I've been struggling with can openers all of 2023. My old electric one became dull and was a struggle to use. I'm old and my hand-held one is impossible for me to crank. So I got a battery operated one. I was excited about it. It was a little slow but it worked... Until it didn't. Two - three months later, it broke and was impossible to use. So I ordered a different battery operated opener..... It's been terrible!! A struggle to get it to rotate around the can and it didn't open the can at all! Instead of breaking down and getting another electric, I decided to give this rechargeable one a try..... And I love it!! It's easy to operate. Can even use it one-handed. And it's fast!! I don't have to sit there waiting for the opener to circle around the can, or struggle with it to even work. The blade comes off so it can be washed. You do have to be careful because the lid has sharp edges. This opener is golden! If you have arthritis in your hands (and even if you don't), this opener is a gem.
