I don't know. I sent these to a friend. He loves he chicken, but said nothing about how he opens the cans. Sorry.

yes, you just put on top of can and press button, it opens the lid without any help. very good product.

It has a handle that folds up, and then you just basically pull. its a one bar type handle.

Yes its twist off. Old trick, get a butter knife and tap along the seem. It will open real easy

Its easier to carry than a regular can opener. Its easy if you practice a few times with it.

Yes, very easy open. At first I struggled with closing the lid because I didn't understand that I have to pull the lever with my thumb for opening AND closing! FYI, I have crippled hands from severe rheumatoid arthritis. But I still can do it.

Yes, it is easy to use and seems safer than other types, which require strength and skill. The opener requires the person to shut it off by using the same black button to turn it on before it will stop rotating.

The lid will lift off when the opener finishes its circle around the can. When the opener stops you can lift both off.

you lift the top off to empty. it has a handle on top , seems to make it easier to hold.

It is necessary to open the lid. I have removed mine because my use does not require transport ..

If your can opener is working right, the lid should just lift off. Unfortunately, the last one I bought from Amazon does not completely remove the lid most of the time. The first one I had worked beautifully.

You just pop the cap open and sip. It's super easy. You don't have to unscrew the top.

No, this is strictly same as a regular can opener. It does not have a magnet to hold the can top. You will have to fish it out. I use tongs for that if I am opening up a can w/liquids. I would suggest you get an electric can opener. I have some arthritis and this can opener has been the easiest for me to operate manually over others... I am very happy with this quick can opener solution when you don't want to deal with an electric. I do notice that if it's solid food, such as dog food.. it will leave the top slightly tilted so you can retrieve it easily. No other can opener has done this so this opener is very well designed.

I do one of two things. I usually just remove the lift off to drink or I pull the nozzle with my teeth to open it once its been opened a few times. It seems to me that when the bottle is closed tightly, the nozzle is hard to pull. But once the nozzle is opened, it's very easy to pull up. Hope this helps.

It pulls out; you do not have to lift the lid. I have been very pleased with this shredder.

The whole top comes off, from the bottom of the design. I usually twist slightly as I pull. It won't have any grooves or anything so twisting isn't 100% necessary but it makes it a little easier. It really shouldn't be that hard to open.

I bought this for my mother-in-law who lives far from us and has arthritis and can't open jars on her own. I showed her how to use this a couple times three months ago so I am trying to remember exactly how it functioned. The top part slides and lifts easily. There is no locking mechanism to hold the top up so something would have to be done to hold the top up while you put the jar in and take it out. I was surprised how easily it opens jars with just the push of a button. I think you will find it easy to use if you come up with a way to hold the top up.
