does it cut the side of the can or cut from the top
1018754
It cuts from the inside of the top of the can basicly like any other can opener does. I hope this helps.

It cuts from the top like most can openers. I have no complaints about it and I have never been cut by any sharp edges from using this opener.

Yes, and I love it. I usually place it on the can so that the "cutting edge" is just touching the can and press the big black button. When it has circled the can I press the button again and pick it up. Sometimes it continues to turn after removing it but it stops as soon as I press the button. It fits snuggly in a drawer just below my counter top and is easily accessable and out of sight.

Do you mean at the bottom - the slicing blade, or the whole thing from bottom to top?

It isn't the lid. I can't attach the cutter to the can. I try countless times and sometimes I give up. It is top heavy, as well. It looks good and I like the red one, but who cares if it doesn't work. It does a good job ripping off the label on the cans. :)

It can go through either one. If you prefer to not drill a hole near the bottom of the bottle it can go through the side instead.

The cutting edge seems to stay pretty clean. Once in awhile a strip of paper from the can being opened will be caught behind the cutting head. It is easy to pull out though.

Straight side cuts the blade, the wavy side chops the cuttings. Straight side towards the earth.

The top attaches to the opener with a magnet. After opening simply grasp the lid and pull away from the magnet. If you stop the opener before it has gone completely around the can, the lid may not come away cleanly without a section remaining attached to the can.

It comes out at the top, that white thing on the top right on the photo. Don't buy this model. Mine broke after 6 months of use, and it was a design problem, could not be fixed, and no refund was given.

They do both cut in either hand, but if you use the right handed version in your left hand or vice versa, it can be a bit annoying since you can't see what you are cutting well (the body of the cutter covers it).

One side cuts alot and the other cuts a little. It does thin your hair out. You have to be careful because it can take a chunk out of your hair that totally surprises you!

It is confusing, isn't it? Place the front of the opener on the top edge of the can with the turning handle on the top, and with the handles spread apart. Place it so that the edge of the can is between the two cog wheels that are on the underside of the opener, and when in place, close the handles together and turn the handle on the top. It is so smooth and quiet that you don't think that anything is happening, and you cannot see it, because the cut is being made on the top side of the can, not the cover. After making a full turn, remove the opener, turn it sideways and use the little pinch-pliers to remove the lid. Voila! The safest and most convenient opened can you can have!

This opens from the top, but probably does cut from the side, in that it does not leave sharp edges.

It has options for both. I chose to run the cord through the bottle and out the bottom. But it is slotted to come out the side at the top.

What do you mean by "on top"? Once the can is mounted in the ceiling the trim is the finish between the rim of the can and the ceiling.

Opens all sizes of cans. This opener opens the can by breaking the seal around the outside of the can rather than cutting the inside of the can. It makes the can lid totally safe (no sharp edges) but the lid no longer fits in the can. Therefore, I don't like to use it to open tuna cans since I can't use the lid of the opened can as a press to drain the tuna dry.

Yes you just have to cut it. I really like mine it helps keep my trunck clean.
