Is is suitable for left handed users?

I actually went to the kitchen and checked whether you could twist the handle with your left hand. You cannot. But the handle twists VERY easily so if you have even just a little bit of strength in your right hand, I believe it would be easy to use. I just love mind and it has lasted for many many years and still opens cans easily - but I am right handed.

Sorry, I am right handed so I don't know. I think my daughter uses it and she's left handed - she's 11 years old. It's a great can opener.

The turn nob is set up to be used only by the right hand with the handles held by the left hand - however, I suspect that even as a leftie you should be able to use this opener with a little practice.

Absolutely. As a left-handed person myself, I have no problem turning the crank. I also have severe arthritis in my right thumb and this product helps tremendously. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I'm not certain. However, I checked the QuickStart guide and saw no reference to "left hand."From my view, I can think of no reason why it would not work for a left handed person.

No, you will need to purchase the Felco F9 or the Felco 7 which has a rotating handle for either left or right handed people.

The blade-tech website only lets you choose right hand, so I'm guessing they don't make a left handed version of this model. http://shop.blade-tech.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_116&products_id=607#.UZsz6rVOSok

This instrument will work for both left and right handed users. It is universal.

Honestly, I don't know. However, I can tell you that I am left handed and it does't make a difference in operation for me. Additionally, this was an exceptional purchase. It was easy to assemble and use. We use it for almost everything including homemade pizza, and the side burner is really convenient.

I am right handed, but I did try it just to see if I could open a can with my left hand and it seemed to work ok. I hope this is helpful to you.

I'm left handed and I could use it fine...I returned mine because with this model I had to cut my vegetables about 4" long for them to fit in the machine.

You can change the OLED display to read the right way for left-handed people. I'm left handed and it works perfectly.

I have not been able to find any. I agree with other post -- if left handed this is not recommended as there is no suitable way of changing it for left handed configuration.

Yes. Either right or left handed people. My daughter is left handed and she can use them with no trouble.

I believe so. We have not tried it left handed but the setup asks for left or right handedness.

Personally I'm not left handed, but just based on it's shape it doesn't fit into my left hand. I suspect a lefty would find this device awkward and uncomfortable.

I don't think so. I am left handed and couldn't use it myself. I have read where people have had the strings switched around to accommodate a left hander.

The model I have is for the right hand. I think it would be uncomfortable and difficult to try to use it with your left hand. I'd recommend against it.

Yes, a left hander could use these. I think they were actually designed for a left hand, but a right hander has NO trouble with them. And the company has a good satisfaction guarantee.

A left-handed person can use it because with your left hand you still turn it clockwise, not counter clockwise. Actually never had anyone ask about left-hand use and this benriner has been around a long, long time and we have sold it for years and I am sure there have been left-handed users. Thank you.
