Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Electric Can Openers
Customer Review: The simple made needlessly complex
Summary: 1 Stars
Given that the purpose of a can opener is to open cans, it's astonishing to me how difficult it is to fit any can into the cuisinart so that the blade actually penetrates the can lid.
What you end up with, repeatedly, is a can firmly clamped into place by the magnet and spinning around merrily without the lid being cut open. At all. There's really nothing in the design that gives you a clue where to hold the can to remedy this reticence on the part of the cuisinart to fulfill its calling. You put the can under the blade and the magnet, push down until it clamps, and watch the can whirl aimlessly. The can opener is plastic, so I doubt you could use it to smash open a metal can.
I can't imagine that such a basic flaw in function could have passed unnoticed through any semblance of product testing.
So what you have is a fairly attractive, vaguely art deco (it looks streamlined) electric humming machine that might, on occasion, deign to separate a can lid from the can proper, with some judicious coaxing.
