   So far so good. The blade cuts into the can nicely, and the large handle makes it very easy to turn. It did leave the last little bit keeping the lid attached to can (broke by pressing down).
   
   I'll report back about the durability after a year or so.

2. It's So Easy To Operate!

   I've been looking for a good manual can opener for years. I just tried out this one, and I think this is it. It is so easy to operate. It doesn't hurt my hand to use it, and it effortlessly opened my cans. It also seems to be made of materials that should minimize rust. Rust has always been a problem with previous openers. So, I have high hopes. I'm going to order more while Amazon has a special promotion on it.

3. Like a knife through butter

   I don't have to struggle with THIS can opener. It is well worth the price; it cuts through cans like a HOT knife through butter. And it opens flat so you can get to the moving parts for a thorough cleaning. What more can I say?

4. Price

   After looking at this item I checked the price Price at our local kitchen store (not a discount store). The item was not on sale and the price was $12 not the Amazon List Price of $19.95 nor sale price of $16.45. Amazon loses credibility with this type of pricng. I bought it at my local store.

5. Highly overrated

   I purchased this item hoping it would be substantially better than the electric can opener. In reality, this hand held one is no better than the electric one that you can buy at walmart for less than $10. It takes more effort to open a can using this opener and if a can has a small 'lip' i.e. the vertical border on which these openers attach, this item does not work at all!!
   I would not recommend anybody waste their money on this product.
