I needed a new can opener and was looking for an electric one. I had a similar one from a different brand so thought this one would work like the other one. It seems to take alot longer to open the can. It spins around 2 times before it stops. At first I didn't think it would stop so I started pushing the button on the top to get it to stop. It took me a few times to realize that it just takes longer than my old one. I like the magnet that grabs the top of the can as it comes off is strong and it stays until you pull it off. Good for the price.
I tried different new sets of batteries, giving the product the benefit if the doubt, but failed everytime! Will spin off the can, but as soon as you put it on the can, it locks up and just isnt strong enough to cut the can open!
