Customer reviews
The perfect can opener (some electricity required)
This thing is unstoppable! I purchased it in 2017 and have used it nearly every day (it's now 2026.) It has survived moves from Hawaii to Florida to Virginia, three kids, and some kitchen messes that would have destroyed lesser appliances. It is fairly sleek looking however, we keep it in the front of a cabinet and pull it out by the handle on top only when we need to use it. When putting it away we wrap the cord around it and shove it back in time-out to await the next can opening adventure. We are not very kind to this can opener but even after all these years it looks nearly new. We have had a few manual can openers (including a nice Swing-A-Way) for power outages, and they have broken, rusted, or gummed up to the point we had to throw them away... even with the limited usage they see. And yet, this one keeps on trucking. The can opening mechanism works flawlessly every time. It cuts the can around the outside leaving a smooth, dull surface that isn't capable of hurting anyone (or slicing through a trash bag.) The operation couldn't be easier - tilt the top of the can against the gear - rock the bottom of the can toward the body of the opener - press down gently on the oversized handle at the top - and presto! it activates and rotates the can open. While it is spinning the can it holds it quite well (there's even a little "lock" that shows up to inform you it's safe to let go of the can) and doesn't release until you pull up on the handle. I believe this can opener would be an excellent choice for most elderly, disabled, or mobility restricted people. I have nothing negative to say about this can opener. If it ever fails I will be looking for this exact same model to replace it. Well worth the money - and then some!

This works GREAT!
We bought this nearly a year ago now in October of 2025. I was not a fan of the idea of an electric can opener ... I'm a little old-school ... I just wanted my old Swing=Away can opener but they are no longer made as well as the much older ones were. We even tried different brands of the same style/type and they just didn't work well at all. My husband wanted an electric one anyway so I finally broke down. We tried one, I forget which brand ... I hated it. The can had to get in just right for it to work at all and that was not always an easy thing to manage. UGH!!! We agreed to try this one ... It could NOT be easier ... just put the can up there, lower the 'handle' and away it goes! It cuts the top off, rather than creating just an inside-the-top type thing, but does a good job of rounding that off so it does not become just a slice-your-finger-mechanism. For an electric can opener I can't recommend this highly enough. SO easy and quick!

My second one
This is my second Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Can Opener. I had my first one for many years and gave it to my daughter who needed one moving into her first home. In all the years I had this opener I never had a problem. Mine is a beautiful black and silver. I can put the can I am opening in place, pull the handle down and take my hand away. It opens the can automatically and the can stays attached until I remove it. It has such a tight grip. I have never had any spills or dropped cans. It is very reasonably priced and made of strong material that holds up for years. It is plug in, not battery operated. I never had problems with a dull blade and just wiped it with a cloth after each use. This is why I chose to purchase this exact same item again. I highly recommend it!!!!

Better, sturdier than Cusinart model
Prior to buying this, I bought and returned a Cusinart model. The Cuisinart was too lightweight and moved around on the countertop. The cans also kept falling mid-cut, and the contents would spill every time even when holding the can. It was a racket. This Hamilton Beach model is superior: -more heavyweight, therefore stays put on the countertop -secures the can when lever is held down so you will have NO drops -cuts the can in a way that does not leave sharp edges, and works even on cans with a pull top. -contents of can do not spill. I have had zero mess and do not need to wipe my countertop afterward.
