Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener with Easy Push Down Lever, Eliminates Sharp Edges, Opens All Standard-Size and Pop-Top Cans, Extra Tall, Black and Chrome (76606AG)

The best can opener I have ever had. I am 64 years old also. I have tried all kinds of can openers from handheld to electric. My grandchildren, when they come over would tear up my handheld ones usually every time they use them. This one has stood up the times of them using it has never broken. In fact, my daughter said hers was broken the other day so I sent mine over for her to use for them. I ordered me a new one. This one has lasted me over a year with no problems. I love how they can has no sharp edges. The price is worth every penny. It is a beautiful can opener and looks nice with all your appliances. It doesn’t take up hardly any space. It’s also very easy to use. Like I said my grandchildren love using it. They are all ages. The magnet on it is very good, it holds the cans very well. My new one works just as good as the old one. I know I looked at the reviews and saw were some people had problems with theirs. They must have just received a bad one for some reason. I would definitely say this is one of the best ones out there for the money. You could buy a high dollar can opener that would do the same job this one does. So don’t pay more pay less. Buy this one I love mine.

What can I say, I’m definitely impressed! I honestly wasn’t expecting much based on past experiences with electric can openers, but this Hamilton Beach model has completely changed that.I’ve been using it for a few months now and haven’t had a single issue. No struggling, no need to reset the can mid-cycle - just place the can, press the lever, and within seconds it's open. I also really appreciate that it cuts from the side, which means the lid doesn’t fall into the food anymore - a big plus.Granted, I’ve only opened around 10–15 cans with it so far, so I can’t speak to long-term durability or how it holds up with daily use. I don’t use canned goods often, so I’m expecting this to last me a good long while.If you're like me and only need a can opener occasionally, I’d absolutely recommend this one. It's simple, clean, and gets the job done without any hassle. Very happy with the purchase!

Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener with Easy Push Down Lever - Purchased several months ago. I needed to replace my old clumsy electric Hamilton Beach can opener. I read the very positive Consumer Reports review and then the "One Star" Amazon reviews. I decided not to purchase this can opener based on the "One Star" Amazon reviews. My husband convinced me that due to the new engineering process Hamilton Beach used in opening cans that this item was probably worth a try. So, I purchased it. It's the best electric can opener I have ever used. It opens regular cans and pop top cans and leaves no sharp edges on the can or the removed tops. It's so simple to use too. Just one effortless push of the handle is all it takes. You can even see very tiny grooves in the top rim of the cans as the can rotates during the opening process. You can actually see where the starting and ending of the process is while it's opening your can. I'm not sure why some reviews had trouble finding the beginning and ending points in the can opening process. It's a great effortless can opener - I love it!

Been using this now for a few months. This does the job when it comes to opening cans and leaving no sharp edges. You can then use the lids to close and store the unused portion/s. I bought this to replace an older one that I had been using for years. It's a great kitchen tool for senior people like me, who can no longer use a manual opener due to arthritis issues. I highly recommend this product.

I've never paid so much for a can opener. I read reviews carefully and research all websites and options on everything I buy on or offline. It's mostly made of plastic, even the parts that appear to be metal. The day of sturdy appliances at a reasonable price are long over. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to work it. It doesn't have a viewable blade like all others I've had in the past. It cuts reasonably clean. Prevents cuts from sharp metal. No rippling of kids. I'm in the habit of having my hand underneath the cans while opening them, then I removed the tops from the cans. Perfect size for my needs. Doesn't slide off the counter while in use. The fact that it's mostly plastic and won't hold up as long as a traditional can opener, as well as the high cost, was the reason for my 4 star review. I imagine that top bit you press on will be the first thing to go. My last Hamilton Beach can opener held up fairly well. It started to smell strange, like burning out strange, but still worked. I was anticipating the motor going out soon, so I replaced it with this one. It matches my kitchen. Basic black and silver goes with everything.

This is the very best electric can opener I have ever used! Simple and easy to operate. No sharp edges. It even opens cans with pull top lids in case you have difficulty opening those type of cans. Well worth the money. I expect it to last many years. Quality workmanship.

This works well, the cans are cut smooth and without sharp edges, and the item looks expensive for the price. Very easy to use. I am delighted with this purchase.

Finally, a Can Opener that enables you to remove the lid without cutting your fingers, because It makes a clean and smooth cut along the sides of the can. Not only that, it holds the can until it is released BY YOU! This is an excellent can opener. Both my Wife and I love it - Easy to use also and no spillage of the contents.
