Product review: OXO Good Grips Magnetic Locking Can Opener

Love the magnet holder: no fishing out lids and no cuts

 
I like this can opener! My favorite feature is the magnetic lid holder. With the older can opener I often had to fish out the lid from the can, but not with this opener. The magnet arm catches the lid to prevent it from falling into the food. And you can keep your hands clean and cut free (from experience... cuts by metal lids really hurt!) by disposing the lid directly into the trash can by pressing the magnet arm to release.

The can opener itself is well constructed from die cast aluminum and feel indestructible. The blade is sharp and is made out of stainless steel, and it cuts the metal of the lid easily. I found the handle (labeled #1 in the photo) comfortable to hold and a soft turning knob is comfortable to turn (labeled #3 in the photo). The lock (label #2 in the photo)  that attaches is to the can holds the opener firmly in place.

I hand wash the can opener per OXO recommendations.

Overall, easy to use tool and is a big improvement over my old can opener.
