Rösle Stainless Steel Can Opener with Pliers Grip, 7-inch

This is the best can opener I have ever had! The quality is better than any manual can opener I have ever used. This definitely will last for many years. Totally worth the money.

The only can opener you will ever need. Easy to use and well made

Our old KitchenAid can opener died on us after a few years, so I went shopping. And found the Rösle.What's different about it:1 It's solid stainless steel (except for the magnet).2 It opens cans from the top.3 It doesn't leave any sharp edges.4 Opened/partially used cans can be re-closed simply by placing the lid back on the can.There's a little bit of a learning curve, since its geometry is a bit different from the typical can opener, but once that code is cracked, using it is a breeze.Unsure how long it will last (construction looks like the 'tank-built' variant of can openers), but I expect decades. In the meantime, we love it. RECOMMENDED.

I see many positive reviews for this product, so maybe I received a dud - but at this price there should be a way to contact Rosle's customer service, but so far I've struck out.I love the sturdy clean look of this product, and I've purchased Rosle products before. I have a Rosle garlic press which has been a solid kitchen tool for me for fifteen years. My other Rosle items were manufactured in Germany; this can opener is from Asia, and maybe that is a difference.This can opener began to fail after a few days. I found that I had to circle some cans twice. At first I thought that perhaps I was operating the tool absent-mindedly. (I know, opening a can should not require the focus of a watch-maker, but I really wanted to like this product. It IS impressive-looking, and as I wrote, I've liked my earlier products from this company.)However, the more that I used the can opener, the worse it worked. Gradually the cans would hardly open, and - contrary to the company's claims - it did leave some sharp edges which cut my fingers. Avoiding sharp edges was the main reason I purchased this type of opener.Finally, yesterday, the Rosle opener was able to open a slit of about 1/2 inch long. The can contained a good brand of red salmon; it was too expensive to throw away, and I was hungry. I couldn't locate my old can opener, and resorted to prying open a bit of the edge of the with a screw driver. The process was a mess, fish oil spilled on the counter, over my hands, and onto the floor. My cat seemed happy, but I was not.This is a bad product.

After going through multiple cheap can openers, all with similar failure mechanisms, I decided that I’ve had enough and bought a can opener that cost as much as all the other ones combined. It’s a different way of opening a can that I’ve never seen before, but it does work really well, it doesn’t cut into the top of the can like other openers do. It splits the lid off the top, with means the blade never touches the food. This thing is also built really well. I’ve had no issues with it. This is the can opener if you just want something that works well and lasts long.

I have had the worst luck when it comes to can openers I have bought cheap one's I just figured it wasn't going to last anyway I have even purchased commercial grade can openers for significantly more money well they didn't hold up either but this can opener here is so far so good about 3 months in no issues as of yet knock on wood it takes a little getting used to though I mean the way it opens the can this can opener fits flat on top of the can just cutting the lip of the top this can opener also has the pliers feature to grab ahold of the top lip of the can for easy removal however this will take you a few trys before you can master it once you figure that out it works like a champ I think when it cuts the top lid it somehow pinches it together making it a little challenging to remove the lid it almost feels like it didn't even cut the top so I started going around the cut twice instead of just once thinking that it would make it easier to remove the top but that's not really nessasary after you figure out how to actually grasp the top with the pliers feature and remove the lid you pretty much have to grab the top lip with the pliers and push downward with a bit of force and then wala what do you know the top comes off fairly easily but long story short so far this is the best can opener I have ever purchased. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAN OPENER TO ANYONE I HOPE THIS REVEW WILL HELP SOMEONE.
