Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Magnetic Locking Can Opener
Customer Review: FINALLY a can-opener worth its price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm back to buy a second one, in case Oxo discontinues this model. (Oxo: Please don't ever stop making this!) Our family of six has been using this opener for almost 2 years now, and it's still performing flawlessly. We rarely eat out and I cook a LOT, so we've gone through MANY can openers over the years (some as expensive as this one), and all were a disappointment: they only worked well for a short time. Until I found this one, I was starting to conclude that adequate can openers didn't exist anymore. But this one blows the others out of the water! I love the way it locks shut for compact storage (it takes far less drawer space than our previous openers), and especially the way it opens any can effortlessly. My daughters and I have weak wrists, and this is finally an opener that doesn't cause us pain or stress. It's easy to rinse clean under running water.
This *IS* the very can opener that was top-rated by Cooks Illustrated after their extensive testing. I subscribe to Cooks Illustrated online, and I just checked: it's still their top can opener in their July 2009 ratings titled "More Essential Kitchen Equipment." (BTW, I highly recommend subscribing to CI not only for their huge number of helpful equipment reviews but also for the helpful, authoritative articles & videos on cooking methods). CI's most recent actual testing of manual can openers was in Oct. 2008, at which time they top-rated this model and said it "blows the lid off the competition."
This is Model 1057941, which is the one top-rated by CI. CI commented: "Because it is a traditional opener, this model leaves a lid with sharp edges (its only downfall), but minimizes potential danger with a magnet that allows neat and safe lid disposal." My family's experience bears that out: thanks to this opener's features, we have not cut ourselves on sharp edges since buying it.
Note: This Oxo opener has worked perfectly for us on everything from tiny 6-oz tomato paste cans to big 2-1/2 -pound kidney bean cans. But I have NOT tried using it on huge # 10 cans (the long-term-storage size that holds over a gallon). Several years ago I discovered that even a brand-new good-quality can opener would never work well again for regular & smaller cans if I did that. Maybe the # 10 cans spread the mechanism too far apart. So for # 10 cans, I just use an old opener that I "ruined" long ago on # 10 cans....it won't open any other size of can, of course.
Description of OXO Good Grips Magnetic Locking Can Opener
Don't miss the grand opening of the new OXO GOOD GRIPS i-Series Can Opener. Its sharp, stainless steel cutting mechanism easily pierces the can, and its cushioned, non-slip handles lock shut to hold the can securely. Die cast aluminum construction makes this Can Opener indestructible and a soft turning knob makes it comfortable to turn. We've incorporated a handy feature most often found on electric can openers: a magnet. Our magnet arm engages the can lid to prevent the lid from falling into your food, with a magnet strong enough to hold even a coffee can lid. Neatly dispose of the lid by pressing the magnet arm to release the lid directly into the trash.Can Openers
