Works wonderfully
One Touch Can Opener
Only works part of the time. No power (just quits) to open some cans. "Eats" batteries like kids eat candy. This would be a handy dandy item if it had the power to open a can without just "powering" out. It also is very selective in the cans it likes (if it doesn't like the can, it will not work). The reverse switch to remove it from a can it doesn't like is like a real joke in the time it takes to work and then it reverses back and you have to start over again.
Underpowered, leaves sharp edge on can, slow
I was expecting a device that cut the roll-seam of the lid, but this one cuts the can just below the lid. The resulting edge, while not razor sharp, is hazardous--in point of fact, the instructions warn, "Note: The cut edge of the can may be sharp and shoud be treated with care." contradicting the prominent "NO SHARP EDGES" claim on the packaging.
On a typical can, the opener struggles to complete its task, coming to a near stop at times. Of course this near stalling takes its toll on the battery life. It has a fixed run cycle that will run around a typical 303 can about 1-1/2 times. For large cans you just push the button to restart it for more than one cycle until it makes it all the way around.
When the batteries give out and it comes to a stop in the middle of opening a can, there is a tiny reverse button on the underside that is used to reverse its motion until you get back to the starting poin where it will release he can. There is usually enough power...
