I’ve had the same smooth edge can opener in my house for almost 20 years. It’s a traditional style and still works perfectly. I think that’s the best part of them, because they don’t cut they just release the glue on the seal; the parts don’t wear down like the blade can. I can recommend

[@im_Polyhedrons]

They used to make some great can openers, As a kid (in the early 2000's) I remember my mom got a swing-a-way(made in usa model) at a thrift store for $1 the thing lasted until recently, when I tried replacing it with a newer version of the same model, it was a bit flimsy, and disintegrated within weeks of use.

[@justinscott3001]

[@kens97sto171]

The smooth edge ones are nice for products you won't use all of at once. The lid goes back on and you can put it in the fridge. Also safer for kids and also doesn't cut a trash bag open once you throw it away.

[@senseisadness9836]

Maybe its just me but I'd pay good money for a good can opener. A can opener that struggles to open cans piss me off so much. It's just so frustrating

[@feyfantome]

James Griffin agreed! I spent about $15 - $20 on the OXO soft grip opener because it’s as smooth as the Kitchenaid one featured here. Some things really are worth the money. Strangely enough, the OXO soft grip salt and pepper grinders are also worth their higher price-nothing like freshly ground pepper or salt, and they operate as smoothly as their other soft grip products

[@mikemarks6136]

Honestly 15-20 dollars for an electric one is a good investment but anything more is ridiculous

[@lisaedwards1359]

get an electric can opener. it just removes all the problems of crappy manual can openers. of course, if you live in california, you'll want to keep a manual one on hand for when it's windy and the power companies shut you power off

[@trythistv]

When I first got married we had terrible can opener problems. My wife worked in a kitchen so some of the recipes we made used the giant #10 cans, and they took their toll on even the "nice" can openers from the local target/walmart/etc. I broke down and bought the Fissler featured as #2 here, I made a video the day I got it, and another one last year about the thing, we've been using it going on near 5 years now and it still works as good as the day I got it. I've given them as gifts to any friends just moving out and such, every one has asked where I got them because all their family wants one.

[@jcclark2060]

I've had a smooth edge Rosle can opener for about 20 years now and it works the same as when I bought it. One of the best kitchen item I have.

[@Kivutar]

I think a lot of them start out ok, but they dull quickly so I'd be interested to see how long they last rather than how well they open right out of the box.

[@scaper8]

Same, either the blade dulls, the blade curls in, or (and this only happens rarely) the handle crank becomes unattached to the gear making it impossible to turn the blade.

[@Randomninja47]

Exactly. I'd hate to spend $20-35 and then it's crappy in 6 months to a year. Usually just get some cheapo ones as if they die in 6 months, I'm only out a couple bucks.

[@advlandvideo]

My thought exactly. I have had $1 to $10 manual can openers and none of them impressed me long term. All of them went to hell within 3-6 months. Dropping for $20-$35 for a hand cramp sounds insane to me. For that kind of money, it has to electric.

[@arcanask]

@@advlandvideo Even electric can openers have their drawbacks. It's a bit of a circus trying to open a can larger than the can opener.

Thank you, James. I've been on a hunt for a decent can opener, and your review was very helpful!

[@dsr0116]

I've been a convert to the soft edge openers: really great for items such as tomato paste where you need a seal and the can will keep in the fridge. My first was an Oxo. Then I was working at another city and maintaining another apartment and kitchen. I then got an opener that's like your most expensive one (though mine was $20). It's my everyday opener now, and like that it always has had a smooth operation.

[@Lapeerphoto]

All soft edge opener all the way, for my house. Even put on in the Car bug-out-bag, and Camping gear. I got a battery powered one for the kitchen - Making chili (9 cans) the battery power saves time. DO other prep while the cans are being opened. :D Great review - I've been through a few different models to find good one. I'm going to check out that $35 job!

[@shawbros]

Smooth edge can openers are the best. The lid cut with a smooth edge can opener can be put back on top of the can (for use as a temporary cover), but cans opened with a conventional can opener cannot.

[@hanzdowndabest8727]

Thanks for adding to our worlds trash for a neddless item

[@robwalton2007]

@@shawbros Good point about the smooth edge can openers. BUT, one disadvantage they also have is, because the edge of the lid is on the outside of the can, you can't use the lid to drain liquid from a can. You can do this with a conventional can opener where the edge of the lid is on the inside of the can.

[@shawbros]

@@robwalton2007 No, you can still drain the majority of the liquid, by holding the can with one hand, and the lid with the other, turn it over at about a 45 degree angle, and just slightly open the lid until the water flows out.

Loved it! When my trusty old Can-O-Matic died on me (after about 50 years), I bought a Kitchenaid and I love it! Good to know that I made the right choice.

[@replicapierry1389]

First of all, you get can bits with regular can openers. The side opener I have is the Kuhn Rikon side opener. It's great. It also is a pop top opener, soda or water top opener, beer bottle type opener & lid opener. You don't have to expend extra strength just to open anything. I purchased mine from QVC. Best investment ever. Plus my hands don't hurt when using it.

[@Sarlacc_]

You didn't test the classic swing-a-way can opener. Those things are all metal and never wear out. Your #1 kitchenaid is one drop onto a hard tile floor away from breaking.

[@pinkoknitter1421]

I have been using an OXO can opener for 7 or 8 years now, and I love it. I move the handle as I turn the crank and it's nearly effortless to use. I also have a decade's-old Swingline that I used for many years--all metal except the vinyl covers on the handles, but I stopped using it once I got the OXO.

I ran across your channel recently and I have enjoyed watching them. I then watched your can opener review. I had an electric can opener for a while that worked great (SOMETIMES) and then sucked a lot of times. I had an old crappy can opener in the kitchen drawer that I have been using since I threw the electric one away. After watching your can opener review I went on Amazon and ordered the Kitchen Aid opener. When it arrived and I used it the first time, I had the same results as you did.; I was impressed. I am very glad that I watched your review and then ordered this product. Thank you for the entertaining reviews and helpful information. I will be looking through your reviews before I order anything in the future, Keep up the great work.

[@brianjorgensen8947]

The oxo is what I use and think it is a great opener. I have the other type also but just for opening tuna cans. Another nice thing about the side openers is the top can be pressed back on kinda like a lid for short term storage if you don't use all the contents but shouldn't be used that way for more then a day and in the fridge.

[@rodmunch69]

The soft edge can opener is great, but I think it takes about 20 cans before you finally get done how to do it smoothly. But once you figure it out, it's super smooth, doesn't have any sharp edges, and most importantly doesn't drop the lid into the food.

[@brianng3414]

Why don't people like smooth edge can openers? Because they need the lids to drain the tuna? I love my OXO smooth edge can opener. You can wash the cans and recycle. But it is so smooth that it is hard sometimes to see that the opening is done -it's just less tension. But they are safe around kids.

[@zappawoman5183]

The Jolly Green Giant is a Plant Sim! It always makes me smile when you use other items you've reviewed (like the nanotowel) in previous videos. I think the squeezing can opener would make my hand painfully crampy.

Gotta review the Starfrit top-turn smooth-open. Best can opener by far, smooth action sturdy build. It's so strong it can hold the can while you're turning it and it even grips the the lid when you're done opening. Just pull apart the arms over the garbage can to drop the lid. Only 10 bucks retail.

[@robwalton2007]

I agree with you John, the OLD American made Swing A Way can openers were good. Not the new Chinese made ones though! Bought one at Walmart in 2016 for $10.49 plus tax, 3 years in & now it skips a couple spots on the can & you have to go over it again, then use a spoon to lift the lid out & twist it off the can. Even after disassembling it, cleaning & reassembling it, it still acts up. My OLD American made Swing A Way never had those issues AT ALL until it got lost in a move. Avoid the NEW Swing A Way can openers at all costs, the quality is gone now.

The best can opener I ever had was a Tupperware brand can opener. It was 35 dollars too. Opened any can I threw at it until my hubby put it in the dishwasher. Stopped working after that. I may go pick up one of those KitchenAid ones though. Thanks for the great review!

I like the smooth side openers. I bought a Pampered Chef smooth side opener 27 years ago, and still use it!

[@im_Polyhedrons]

This is a very helpful video, I've found it hard to find a decent non-electric can opener recently. As a kid (in the early 2000's) I remember my mom got a swing-a-way(made in usa model) at a thrift store for $1 the thing lasted until recently, when I tried replacing it with a newer version of the same model, it was flimsy, and disintegrated within weeks of use.

mercsan117 Yes, but an electrical can opener requires energy during BOTH production and usage while the hand-crank ones do not.

Spend a couple of cents more for the P51. Much less finger fatigue.

We've got a Pampered Chef smooth edge style opener that I love, except they added a bottle opener "tooth" that is in the perfect location to go through the tip of your thumb if/when you slip off the crank.

Smooth edge openers aren't good for tuna because you can't use the lid to drain it

[@shawbros]

Wrong. Draining a smooth edge opened can is really easy. Just leave the lid on, hold the can with one hand, and the lid with the other hand, tilt the can downwards at about a 45 degree angle, and slightly open the lid until the liquid flows out at the speed you want. When the liquid stops flowing, hold the can upright and take the lid off.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

@@shawbros nope y'all wrong here-you can't squeeze that last bit of oil/water with smooth lids like you can with the older types. I shudder to think how *wet* your tuna salad is.

I always just used one of those old claw can openers. You can get really really fast with those once you use them enough.

Born in the mid-50's I still recall the hard straight thin metal can openers we had. But, I think back then we did not open as many cans as we do now. thankful for the pop tops.

Good thing you didn't get automatic can openers, because they have a nasty habit of leaving a razer sharp edge on the top.

I like the side cut can opener

[@dcwatashi]

Definitely agree about the Dollar tree opener, I just got the Kitchen aid, turquoise, at Walmart $14.98. Only opened one can so far, noticed a big difference. We shall see how long this one lasts and how long it takes for this one to rust.

[@DasGrinch]

I like the OXO 1049953 smooth edge opener, it has two handles you push together like a standard can opener, the turn knob is on the side like a normal can opener, but it cuts from the side. The 'lid pliers' are also operated by the handles too.

[@eddiemld1]

A true test would be opening a big can of hominy(pozole) 😂

[@jcee8493]

I had a KitchenAid opener and when it fell apart after about 5 years I went through a few of the cheapie ones and I hated them, they hurt to use. I found one of the $35 soft openers for a whopping $3.50 at my local hardware store and I love it. I have limited use of my hands and I have no problem with this opener and it's great if you don't use everything in the can, you can put the top back on and it closes well. The only thing I have to go back to the old opener for is tuna since you can't squeeze out the juice with the larger rim lid.
