easiest manual can opener even with arthritis

This is the best can opener purchase I've ever made.  I'm getting older and with arthritis this is an easy opener to use.  It works reliably and I've had it for almost a year.  I don't use it daily, but I think it will hold up well.  It's worth the price.

I was given this can opener as a gift from my mom. She had heard me complaining about my standard can opener not being able to open tomato sauce cans. From the first time I used it, I have loved this One-Touch Opener. You set it on top of the can, push the button and it opens. The battery storage slides off fairly easily and, of course, the battery life depends on how much it is used. One time, the batteries ran out while I was opening a can. After a short panic, I found on the bottom of the opener a phone number to call. I spoke to a live person and was told how to easily dislodge the opener from the can so the batteries could be changed out. Simple, easy to use, dependable. Much more dependable than any other opener I have ever owned in my 54 years. In response to some of the negative reviews, you have to be smarter than the machine.

I have arthritis in my hand and needed something that would open cans and not hurt my hands.  Been a winner so far.

Love this.  I have arthritis and opening jars was difficult for me.  NOT any more.

Works like a charm - I have the beginnings of arthritis and find it hard to use a regular hand can opener.  This is also easier to use then an electric can opener.
The only problem is that I will need someone to change the batteries for me when the time comes as my hands won't be able to do it.

What more can I say, its a manual can opener? This thing is heavy duty and seems to hold up much better than my last one.  I've owned two electrical can openers in the past that barely lasted a year so I'll never bother with those again. These manual hand can openers work just fine and are certainly a practical solution.

The rubber grips stay on tight and make it easier to grip so its very easy to use.

Purchased this for my Wife who always seems to be opening one or more cans of something daily. She has arthritis in her hands and has told me that the design makes opening those cans much easier and less painful. Additionally, this is probably the longest lasting can opener that we have purchased yet. Unfortunately, they have not been available for some time now but we are hopeful that they will again so we can purchase another one as a backup

This thing is great.  I felt lazy buying an electric can opener but seriously, it is definitely worth it.  It literally takes 3 seconds to get a can open with no fuss and no sore hands. Love it.

I have no problems with this lid opener, and that is with my several pain conditions in my hands that affect my grip strength. I place the jar on the counter, hold it with one hand, and hold the opener with the other, place it snug on top of the lid so the lid is against the narrow center. Then turn the tool counter clockwise (Lefty Loosen)and the jar clockwise. The lid is off faster than it took me to write this. This is a five star item in my house, something that allows me some independence from needing some big strong guy to open jars for me. Great for the single woman, child, or arthritic/disabled person. Men too.

My elbow is very arthritic. Opening jars had become very hard and painful to do. This device has helped SO much. I can get lids off even water bottles, previously opened jelly, pickle jars and everything in between. It says it's an E-Z Jar Opener and it is. The elderly with deminished strength or arthritic fingers or in my case elbow, this opener makes jar opening an easy job. I was so happy to see how much it helped!

I love this opener and have brought four to date to share with family members.  Great for opening pull tab cans, especially with arthritic fingers, but my son with big strong fingers likes it too!  No more scratching the silverware or breaking nails.  Fairly easy to use, easy to clean and store.  Glad I bought it, makes life better...

The absolute best can opener Ive ever had!  Have arthritis in my hands.  No strain with this one.  It will open any size can with ease.

This is BY FAR the best manual can opener I have used. So much better than the junk sold at big box stores, and at a better price. Just be sure to keep it nice and dry to avoid any corrosion on the metal parts as I doubt they are rust proof. I anticipate this lasting a long time.

I like the can opener.
I got it free to review but was not expecting much.
It is quite durable and works well.
Tip: Don't try twisting the can!
It is almost TOO simple to use really!
Just put it in place - push the button, let the can opener do the rest.
If you click the button again when it has went all the way around it goes backward for a second then stops.
No sharp edges!
I also like the color options.
It does take a few minutes longer than it takes my husband with the other handheld NON mechanical opener but I can't use that due to arthritis in my hands.
This is perfect of older people, people with sore or tight muscles, arthritis, etc.
Perfect!

The handles are comfortable and easy to grip.  They are also angled backward slightly which makes it incredibly easy to open all sizes of cans.  As someone who has hand and joint pain, I like how easy this can opener is to use.

Easy to use.  We go back/forth from this one to the manual opener.  Forget sometimes that I have it, because its not in the drawer with other utensils.
