Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 76380Z Classic Chrome Heavyweight Can Opener, Black
Customer Review: Great opener
Summary: 5 Stars
I've purchased a few electric openers over the past years and none were worth the bother until I got this Hamilton Beach Heavyweight with removable washing unit. My thumb has little strength so after years of not using an electric opener, I bought another electric opener thinking they had improved. After a couple of times of use, the thing most times refused to grip and cut the can. So I returned it. I read the reviews here and saw this unit in a store so I purchased it and, yes, it cuts first time every time. Love it. I wish I could have purchased it for my mother...
Update 7/29/2007
My original post above was done on 11/16/2005. I forgot exactly when I purchased the opener but I'd had it for some time before posting. I still rate it a 5-star and would give it 10 if possible. For those mechanically inept (like my husband), someone may have to show you how to position the round magnet dead center on top of the can, then align the cutting blade in the rim of the can so that the "positioning" blade lies on the top rim of the can. Sounds complicated but it takes all of one or two seconds at the most to do this (like flip, flip). Large cans may take a second longer to position. It opens any size can I give it. It has NEVER dropped a can until I physically remove the can. It opens cleanly and evenly so that I no longer have to worry about cutting a finger on the opened can or lid. I also like how the cord can be pushed all the way into the opener itself so no visible cord left dangling if not in use. Should this can opener malfunction today, Lord willing I'd immediately replace it with the same opener. Had it only lasted a year or two, I would have gladly replaced it with the same product. One of my better buys, and I'm picky with a champaignless budget. Incidentally, I could not find an opener with "Portfolio" at Target or the Walmart where I got it, but this looks exactly like it and is heavyweight.
Update 9/21/2008
Still going strong. A pleasure to use.
Update 1/29/2010
Still going strong as ever.
Update 1/2/2011
The can opener STILL grips any size can perfectly until I manually remove it after opening, but unfortunately the magnet that keeps the lid from dropping inside the can has lost its effectiveness. I tried everything - including soaking in vinegar - but so far no luck. However, I was used to all my other can openers dropping the lid inside the can and have always been in the habit of washing my lids well before opening so not a problem, just inconvenient. It's still a 10. No other complaints.
