Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Locking Can Opener
Customer Review: Except for the locking mechanism, it's good
Summary: 3 Stars
This has been my primary can opener for approximately 12 years. While I've been intending to replace it for most of that time, it has held up OK.
Unfortunately, the locking mechanism left much to be desired. When locked, there was not enough pressure to actually cut cans without squeezing the handle anyway. The locking mechanism (which is just a flimsy piece of plastic) broke off after a few months. It wasn't really needed, but I would have preferred that it work.
In terms of cutting cans, the particular one that I had would cut reliably and well if you had to know exactly how to hold it. You have to have the angle right, the squeeze pressure right, and be going at the right speed. I've personally not had problems cutting, but all of my roommates through the years have commented that they had problems with it.
Overall it wasn't a bad can opener, but it wasn't perfect. Now that it has finally thoroughly gunked up in the way that can openers do, I will probably replace it with something different. It was good enough to keep it until the end, but it wasn't good enough to re-buy.
Description of Oxo Good Grips Locking Can Opener
Which came first? The can or the can opener? Could the can have existed without a can opener? When it comes to opening cans, you need a can opener. Here's a manual can opener that works easily and does it with style. The GOOD GRIPS Snap-Lock Can Opener is as functional as it is sculptural. Squeeze the Can Opener closed and hear the lock snap shut to hold the can securely while you turn the knob. There's no need to grip tightly to keep the Can Opener in place on the rim. Press the lock open with your thumb and it springs open to release the can. The curved handles of reinforced plastic are broad and rounded to distribute the pressure evenly across your hand as you squeeze. The oversized knob makes turning comfortable and easy.With a lock that keeps the blades tightly in place, the Snap-Lock can opener is the perfect choice for those with limited hand strength or troubled by arthritis. The large, curved handles fit into any hand, and the oversize knob turns easily, relieving pressure on the hands. The slightly arc-shaped handles are designed to distribute tension evenly, and the lock can be released by a simple push of the button.
Made from the same material dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro
