Works well
Hasn’t broken unlike our Walmart one that broke on the first use. Very easy to use and not as confusing to use for someone who doesn’t open many cans.

Amazing product that works
Amazing. I had to get used to pressing the steel bar down and turning the crank to pierce the can. It was a little effort to turn the crank, but the end result was worth it. The top of cans came clearly off with no Jagged edges on either the top or the sides. The top can be put back on or discarded.

Sneaky little devil has a mind of it's own...
Warning: This can opener has a mind of its own and may run away from you. Mine disappeared from my kitchen a few days after I bought it. One night it was sitting on the counter, the next morning it was just gone. After 3 weeks hoping it would turn up, I finally gave up and bought a slightly different style (the Joseph Joseph compact handleless style can opener) so that I'll have two choices in case it does ever reappear. At least I only paid $7. I'm all seriousness, I only used this for a week, but it seemed like a nice no-frills can opener that was definitely worh the very lowe price I paid for it. This was my first time buying a can opener of this style (single handle which cuts on the outside of the can's rim), but it was easy and intuitive for me to figure out how to use it. Just remember, when the lid gets stuck to the can opener, twist the handle in the opposite direction and it'll come right off. This is actually a nice intentional feature, but it can be frustrating at first if you aren't used to it. This style of can opener has some tradeoffs with the traditional two-handled opener. Cutting the outside rim of the can leads to a smoother edge on the can and lid, but can also lead to some of the liquid inside the can spilling out. Personally, I think that that's a worthy tradeoff for lower risk of cutting myself and bleeding all over my food, but neither option is perfect so think about which potential frustration you'd rather avoid before you buy, because as far as I know there is no can opener that perfectly solves both problems.
