[@Klmp13]

You need to include a criteria that I always use: Name coolness factor.

[@Freakinreviews]

If that were the case, then Tornado F4 has to be the pick for that category.

[@autobotrock4789]

I'm on my second can opener so far. I don't remember what the first one was but it simply stopped cutting through after a few uses. I have a $20 Farberware now and sometimes needs 2 tries to open the can.

[@Moosiemoon]

I had a Farberware also and didn’t like it. Took several tries to open can if it even worked. I usually ended up prying the can open with a knife and plyers. Lol.

[@RYN988]

All these cans have a smooth.... I’m dead laughing. I freakin’ love this channel!

[@tezazon2653]

I have used and purchase for friends the Farberare hands free can opener. I had mine for 5 years, very happy until this year! It was running low and we changed the battier but the can opener was caught on a medal can. The lip wouldn't release. So base you next episode on 1. easy batter change 2. how long does it last and 3. once can open how shape is the lid. I watched you video and still couldn't decide which one was best for us. Didn't like that the one we had last 6 years, and its a Walmart product not sold everywhere. There are some good reviews on You Tube. thanks for doing this video.

[@vallhund2901]

I purchased an original 'One Touch' can opener back around 2007 and it worked great for over 10 years. I paid $5 for it and it was the best can opener I've ever owned.

[@Kieorasama]

This has been helpful. We had a black and decker gizmo for years. I loved that thing. A gizmo is 84.00 online. I have been looking for a really good cheaper alternative.

[@GnrMilligan]

Do your shirt button up next time!..seriously tho,really like your "every day" type of reviews,not as you say scientific,but a good idea of what to expect from a product when you get it home and try it them yourself.I find myself watching reviews of gadgets I know I'll never buy,but find your reviews entertaining none the less.Thanks for your efforts James!

[@sigor2011]

I've been using one touch as seen on TV for a few years now. Love it, it just struggles on super small cans, which I wish you would have tried. Check out tomato paste cans for like $1 or less, about 1.5 inch round... That should sepparate them.

[@yogrego1]

Thanks for the great video review. I would have never thought that the lowest price one would be your top pick but I have to agree with you on that.

[@dinkerz]

I bought mine new in package from the thrift store. I really love it but it doesn’t open tiny tomato paste cans. There is a size limit to them so you still need a regular one too. I tend to have the worst luck with regular hand held can openers; they tend to break or misalign too quickly no mater brand or price. These handfree kind can jam with the paper label or “crash” and stop when not aligned but they’re fairly easy to reset. I definitely recommend having one.

[@LiqnLag]

What you do for us is simply amazing.

[@ph3744]

I have the number one pick ,it works well.its a nice tool for opening cans in the kitchen when you are multi tasking.the handi can is a winner,hands down.

[@Trashcankicker.]

We live in a time where watching someone opening cans with cans openers entertaining.. that cut thought made me laugh my guts out . Perfect timing .

[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

the smooth edge part is that the direct sides are blunted as it cuts below the lip, it is still gonna be sharp but it wont cut ya when you handle it normally. I use the tucan all the time

[@traceysorter857]

Thank you I have rheumatoid arthritis and this video came in handy.

[@jamesera27]

These openers are preset to open a large can...which is why they keep running after the can is opened. Been using them for years.

[@johnroberts5992]

Your demoes are very helpful. Thx

[@billstreber5194]

Great video as always I just wish they would come out with one like these openers that is rechargeable I used to own one it ate through batteries like nobody's business especially if it's used in a Family household more than three people for single person maybe yes but batteries go out fast

[@Freakinreviews]

They really should put out more rechargeable options in this category.

[@Telcomvic]

You could try rechargeable batteries. They work well for most (but not all) devices.

[@SarahLizDoan]

Sincerely can never get these to work for me. Too much noise, too much time, too much hassle, too many batteries, never dependable. I have a Good Cook manual can opener from Target and it’s excellent! Smooth edge, economical, totally safe and works every time! Still a fun video though and helpful for people who need automatic can openers. Great work!

[@michellerudolf5076]

did you try any of the pull tab cans? people with arthritis can't open and wondering if the electric openers can be used on the type of can

[@andrew090863]

The consideration I was watching, was the time it took to open cans of the same size. I think Handy Can was one of the fastest. I can use a manual one a lot quicker but of course can’t make lid edges smooth.

[@JVerschueren]

Just at the unboxing stage, one can tell the Instecho is either going to be the best or the worst, because it doesn't have a pun in its name.

[@DaveTexas]

Mmmm. Jalapeño refried bean tuna & green bean casserole!

[@NotaVampyre111]

I watched this video because I just ordered a Yes You Can. It should arrive today. I needed a new can opener and I didn't want to go manual again. Arthritis and carpal tunnel have made that problematic. I didn't want a standard electric opener, they seem to wear out quickly. I'm hoping this one will live up to the "Last can opener you will ever need." claim.

[@will2dmax1]

I have the tornado,works great and haven't had to change the battery's in two years.

[@omgwtfbbqstfu]

I guess its a decent idea for the disabled or elderly. And yea, side cut usually results in relatively safe edges, but its not garrantee, I use a hand crank model and have cut myself on it before, maybe a sliver of solder or something.

[@whofandb]

I got the Toucan opener. It took a couple tries to make it work. It was very loud.

[@S7J7P7]

One thing with these, I had one about 5 years ago and if the batteries were going dead or dead it would hang and you had to get it off. I actually cut myself trying to get it off the can. Not really stitches cut but enough I had to wear a bandaid for a few days.

[@VaporZone]

Great video! Even though they all worked, some were faster, it seems shimmy-ing is something they all do. The thing contains a moving parts motor. It's sad to say but I'm almost glad you got cut on that so we can all see that the smoothest can still cut and not believe what is written on box or in commercial. Personally I don't even give the can itself to my pet. Either parts of the can is prone to cut.

[@DOSBoxMom]

How did those times compare to the time it would take to open those same cans with the best of the manual can openers you previously reviewed? I used to own countertop electric can openers many years ago, but long since switched to manual can openers with comfy handles (love the Oxo Good Grips!). I suppose if my hand strength were to decrease substantially, a hands-free can opener would make sense for me, but it doesn't yet.

[@sziltner]

Amen to OXO good grips. Best kitchen products ever.

[@spiridon911]

I have the rubbermaid one. I'm pretty happy with it. Ps. I'm a lefty so these come in handy.

[@crowgrl13]

I agree that the cheapest one seemed to work best, which was a surprise. But they were all so cute and sleek! Except for the Toucan. Don't know what was up with that hulking thing.

[@tonynathanson7843]

I haven't got the patience for 30-40 seconds to open a can. The Oxo can opener I bought 14 years ago does it in 6 seconds & NO sharp edge & it has a pincher to lift the lid off without touching anything. And it doesn't actually "cut" into can, so it never gets dirty.

[@jimmyshrimbe9361]

Fun fact: the phrase "the peanut gallery" comes from the old days before electricity. During theater performances the balcony seats were the cheap seats where they sold peanuts for super cheap and called it the peanut gallery. If they didn't like the performance the trashy poor people would start yelling and throwing peanuts. Eventually, they just started with the announcement "no questions or comments from the peanut gallery"

[@Nenezilla]

The bane of my husband's existence....a can opener. Doesn't matter if it's a hand-crank or electric, he can't operate either one and spends quite a bit of time cursing them out. Maybe this will be the one!

[@antonygantt6459]

What do you do with the food when your done?

[@compzac]

I actually have one of these, the Instecho, which weirdly is white and branded as one touch, so looks like the instecho is a clone, but the Auto stop feature, its not that smart, its basically a timer unit, it just times for the can, the shimmy is down to the gear on the bottom dragging it along the can, it does take two presses for large cans, but they mean larger than the beans can you used, really I've had mine for about 5 years now and its actually a decent device, its never failed a can and in 5 years has only needed two battery changes, it does struggle sometimes but Ive never seen it flat out refuse to open a can up, but yes it does autostop, just occasionally gets it late on smaller cans cause of the timer being programed for bigger ones.

[@kermittherat9581]

[@sumoody1325]

You need to place them in the centre. I need to know how hard I'd need to press the button as I have arthritis in my hands.

[@harryrobbins99]

There is another purpose for the magnets. They act like a safety switch. If the opener is not on a can lid the motor will not run. This prevents you from accidentally getting a finger or other body part caught in the gear.

[@nevermore0]

Hey James, here's an idea - do a one-handed pepper grinder comparison!

[@buckshot0203]

So tuna tacos with refried beans and green beans?

[@RAIDER4LIFE131]

I probably could of opened 3-5 cans with my crank can opener before that hands free opens 1... And save $10 - $30 bucks.. I think those are meant with people w/ arthritis or somethin'..
