KitchenAid Classic Multifunction Can Opener / Bottle Opener, 8.34-Inch, Black

Anytime i’m staring at an amazon query of 20+ pages of comparable kitchen items, my preferred mid-cost brands are kitchenaid and cuisinart. By midcost, i am referring to the general set of affordable kitchen utensils that would need to be replaced within 3-5 years, but usually no sooner. For a can opener that at most will see use a few times a day, i am not interested in spending more than how much kitchenaid charges for this one. The handles are grippy enough while being durable to withstand wear. The metal/gears look as clean and strong as the day i bought it. The red accents are machined well. I like the inclusion of a bottle opener, and its location is optimal for leverage given how you would naturally hold the opener. For this price, i usually set my expectation that it will need to be replaced by the time i need to move apartments/to a new city. While i can’t personally claim mine has lasted longer than this, the fact i can’t tell just from looking at mine that i’ve had it for over two years testifies you probably won’t need anything more expensive except in industrial kitchens.

My favorite can opener so far, it’s beautiful! I love the color, size of handle and turning knob. It feels sturdy, i’ve had too many break on me. I notice i do have to tilt the opener a little to keep it opening but it’s my favorite yet. Would definitely buy again and the variety of colors is awesome. I personally loooved the color i got

My old can opener broke after 5 years of usage. So, i bought a new one, but didn’t want to spend much money on it. Now two months later, i’m forced into once again buy a new can opener. Kitchenaid is kitchenaid, they don’t get that well-known by producing junk. This one has the feel as if it will last decades. It opens even gallon sized cans with ease.

Smooth, effortless, perfect! I’ve had 4 electric spinning openers, tons of manual openers, & 1 countertop electric opener, but this kitchen aid manual can opener is by far the best opener ever! Woww!!! Where has this opemer been all my life?! Easier & smoother to use than even the electric openers that are supposed to do it for you; this opener does it for you!! Honestly, effortless!!

I bought this because i thought it had a lifetime warranty. Now i returned and it only gives a 1 year warranty so i’m not happy. Going to look for a lifetime real warranty.

Kitchenaid is going to warranty it, but i need to pay to send it in. If they end up paying for me to send it in i will probably give 5 stars. Wanted to let you know that and raise it from 2 to 4 stars and maybe 5 if they replace it. The fact still stands that it broke after 1.3 years. I really want more ‘intentional’ items that won’t fill the landfill. But maybe their replacement will be better. Updating to say: they are sending me a new can opener and i will let you know how long that lasts so i have updated to 5 stars because of good lifetime warranty and customer service. Thank you.

This can opener is way better than the ollie’s one i bought a few years ago. You could not pay me to switch back. It’s easy to use and doesn’t hurt your hand! If you have this you’re winning!

My parents had a phase where they would buy a lot of things from the dollar store and i believed if i broke it that it’s my fault that it broke but i realize it’s the qualities fault of why it broke.

This is high to your quality. I can feel it every time i open up a can and i’m loving it.

This one has gears that drive two wheels, not just one. We have a drawer full from old cheap ones of unknown origin to newish expensive ones that do not work. This is a little pricy, but you get what you pay for.

I love kitchen aid. This can opener is one more example of the quality kitchen aid provides. Very easy to use. I bought this as a back up to my tornado hand free can opener. Sometimes it doesn’t work on some cans but the kitchen aid always does!! Faster than the tornado!

Bought one for me a few years ago as i have arthritis. I went to my mother’s house and used an old school opener and realized what i had. These things are stocking staffers for all my family now. They are great

They are just hard plastic cylinders. Not ergonomic at all.

It opens cans pretty easily, especially since i have arthritis. So i feel i made the right purchase. The only drawback is how long is it going to last. It does seem well made though.

Basic can opener nothing fancy
can always count on kitchen aid products
works great
wish the handles weren’t so bulky

My old manual can opener stopped opening everything and drove me up a wall. I found this one and was thrilled when it arrived. I wanted to open every can in my house. It is so easy to use and seems great so far.

Its a can open so its easy to you and works perfectly.

Opens cans without much effort. I would recommend it.

Always happy with kitchenaid gadgets. Never fail. No rust. Perfect buy.

The plastic handle makes me nervous, feels flimsy but so far it’s been working fine.

It’s hard to find a good can opener. A lot of them break… The rotating function stops working, etc. This one is pretty strong and sturdy.. And it looks good. However, it does have a tendency to rust, so you’ll need to maintain it. Not much to say, except there are a lot of can openers and this one is pretty decent all things considered.

They are a significant jump in quality from the 1 or 2 dollar can openers, but they’re a bit large for my hands. Tbf, my hands are on the smaller side, so they may work for many people, but it’s not exactly what i was hoping for.
