Key Benefits Smooth-edge cutting for safe handling Hygienic, touch-free lid removal Built-in ring-pull opener for pop-tabs Comfortable ergonomic handle Swiss-engineered precision and durability Review: Sweet Can Opener! Instructions in Review - OK, so this is a splurge item, but it's neat. It looks awesome, it works well, and it's very clean. re-closeable cans are so useful! I use this opener all the time and I love it. My one complaint is that finding instructions are very difficult if you can't watch the flash animation on the company's website. So for all the people trying to figure out how to use the Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter can opener, here goes: First, adjust the turnable handle to be parallel to the big handle. Then place the unit on top of the can, not alongside like a traditional opener. Position the Lid Lifter so that the rim of the can is right underneath the two protruding metal bits underneath the turnable handle. I don't mean the pincer thing on the right side of the opener - rather, I'm referring to the two protruding bits on the metal underside. One cuts and the other is round magnet or roller of some sort. Looking down, get it so that the edges of the can's round top are roughly even with the two little half-circle shaped divots in the main body of the opener. Those divots are specially placed to make this easy. Then once the opener is set on top of the can, with the handle pointing straight out perpendicular to the can and parallel to the counter and the divots lined up with the lid, start turning clockwise. You'll feel the little metal cutting bits engage on the top of the can. Keep turning, holding the opener parallel to the counter top the whole way. You won't be able to see a thing happening, but when you complete the can, you'll feel the turning resistance reduce. That's because you've cut the whole top off, even though you can't tell! Now turn the handle counter-clockwise, just a little bit (maybe a quarter turn) and that will disengage the cutting bits, allowing you to remove the opener. To open the lid the first time, you turn the opener on it side and use the little metal pincer to grab the edge of the can lid. Push the white plastic button opposite the pincers, grabbing the lid, and lift 'er up. Voila - the lid comes off! It takes a *little* force sometimes if the seal is still vacuum tight. You can use the can opener every time, but after the first time, it's easier to remove the lid with your fingers. It sounds WAY harder than it is, but it is honestly something you have to learn. I was seriously stumped, as was my roommate, until I figured out how to view the demo online. Now start saving time and money by buying the big cans of tomatoes and beans and then saving the leftovers right in the nicely sealed can! The designer gets an A+ on this model. Added bonus: blow your friends minds by asking them to figure out how to open a can. I swear, without instructions, it's really tricky! With instructions, it's really easy! Review: Worth the price! - I first used this when my sister moved in. (it was hers). I never knew that these openers existed. I always thought it was just the traditional can openers, or the commercial ones that attach to the table. When she moved away, she took this with her and I was distraught. I ended up reaching out to my sister so she can send me a picture of it and find it to purchase. It is a bit higher in price than I would normally pay for a can opener but honestly, I can say that this is worth it! This can opener is honestly so much easier to use than the traditional can openers. I love that it cuts into the side to fully remove the top of the can. This has never gotten stuck like traditional can openers and everything opens up in a breeze. I highly recommend this if you want to stop struggling with the other can openers. ## Features - ✓ Safe smooth-edge cutting – Side-cut design opens cans cleanly and leaves a safe, smooth rim without sharp edges. - ✓ Hygienic touch-free lid removal – Patented LidLifter grips and lifts lids without touching food or sharp metal. - ✓ Effortless turning motion – Ergonomic knob and precision gears make opening cans easy with less strain. - ✓ Built-in ring-pull tool – Opens pull-tab lids safely and easily without hurting fingers. - ✓ Swiss-engineered durability – Trusted design and materials built to last through years of everyday kitchen use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000I7GRUM | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,522 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #23 in Manual Can Openers | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Kuhn Rikon | | Brand Name | Kuhn Rikon | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 16,517 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07610154228446 | | Included Components | Auto Safety Smooth Touch Can Opener | | Item Dimensions W x H | 3.5"W x 2"H | | Item Type Name | LidLifter/Can Opener with Ring-Pull | | Item Weight | 5.6 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kuhn Rikon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 22844 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Kuhn Rikon products are guaranteed 1 year for defects in material or manufacturing. | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | Auto | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 3.5"W x 2"H | | Size | 8 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches | | UPC | 788809587129 781147366159 696719963462 705475022426 793779469450 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Kuhn Rikon - **Color:** Red - **Material:** Plastic - **Size:** 8 x 2.5 x 2.75 inches ## Images ![Auto Safety LidLifter Can Opener with Ring-Pull Tool – Smooth-Edge Side-Cut Design for Safe, Touch-Free Lid Removal – Easy-Turn Handle, Swiss Engineered, Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ZRnfJ-xLS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet Can Opener!

Fits on the top of the can and cuts the side under the lip. Results in safer can lid to handle. Has a little gripper beak you can use to grab the cut lid. Seems like good quality and not too hard to turn.
