The first one didn't work and then I read reviews that said the device was not supported. I sent it in and they sent back another one that has worked perfectly . I'm sorry I wrote an initial angry response--should have counted to ten.

not sure what your question is, "west bend can opener. I had trouble with the Cuisinart. The plastic part that attaches the cutting mechanism to the body of the can opener is flawed and consequently when it becomes loose or broken the can opener does not function.

Julie, I've owned two of the Cuisinart openers and given away a couple more as gifts. I too have had a problem with one of the opener's plastic gadget breaking and another with the motor failing. This over a three year span. They are attractive, but I doubt I will buy any more.

We have never used a west bend opener.We have owned a Cuisinart for some time. It works great for a out 9 months to a year till the cutting assembly goes bad. I found a web site in Canada that sells the complete cutting assembly for $11.00 so I always have a spare ready.

My Cuisinart started locking up when trying to open cans. Lasted about 2 weeks.

This item ccomes with a 3 year waranty, cal Cuisinart & they will send you a free one with proof of purchase. I have the temp tea kettle & it started leaking towards the end of 3 years, brand new kettle sent. Awesome company

I liked the Cuisinart opener because it was attractive & a brand that I liked, we have bought about 4 of them but they don't last very long until 1 or 2 of the parts break. I don't plan to buy another one , instead I'll probably try the West Bend next time, because the last Cuisinart just broke another can holding post this week

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

Good question. Too bad Hamilton Beach does not address it. I had the same problem and nearly sent the opener back. First, remember it does not cut. The front roller holds the lid down while it moves the can. The roller behind pushes up the lip of the lid, breaking the seal as it rotates. In order for the back wheel to push the lip, it must be seated UNDER it, next to the can wall. This is not much of a problem if the can is heavy; can weight tends to press it against the guide. If your can is small or quite light, e.g., tuna, press down lightly on the lid during rotation, opposite the rollers, correcting the can's angle and moving the roller under the lip. Sound will tell you when the can is seated correctly and the lip is being pushed up. When the lid stops rotating and the lid continues to go around, it has separated and you're done. Once you've got this licked, the opener works well and leaves behind no sharp edges. I really like mine.

I thought so . . . it's a family owned business and I'm really happy with my purchase. I've had the can opener for over 6 mo. and it works great. To answer your question, you might contact the company through their website at www.keetzen.com

Yes there are. After removing a second sliver from my finger I trashed this can opener and purchased a different style. We never had this problem with our West Bend 77203 Electric Can Opener so this is what we are using again.

I am right handed, so I'm not sure. I would have to try opening a can left handed. I did hold the opener in my left hand to a can and it seemed like it would work.

It only works on round cans. (Some metal tins are elongated ovals or round-cornered rectangles and this opener won't work on them.)

Sorry can't help. I know my West Bend Coffee Pot is 1959 Perkalator.Might be worth a try?>

I looked and looked, and can't figure out where it's manufactured.It is a standard can opener, which does leave a sharp-ish edge.The reason I like this so much is that the crank handle is so easy to use, a ton easier than the standard screw sort of twisting cutter thingy.Does that make sense? LOL! I am very bad at descriptions!I love this can opener, and I often have to argue with my kids about who gets to open the can!I have had generic can openers, but never again.Swing-a-Way rules, is the best ever, and I will never buy any other brand.

I love this can opener. it is light weight but heavy gauge. As far as being rust proof I really don't know. But I see no reason it would rust.

While holding the opener in your right hand, you would have to push a couple of fingers from the right hand against the other half of the handle to open it up, but it can be done. I am able to use it one handed.

I find this can opener to be very smooth and easy to turn. I hope if you go with this one, it works for you

I have used it on all sizes of cans. It's very nice not to end up with sharp edges. I've found that it opens cans more smoothly than my standard opener, which sometimes requires me to go over sections of the lid a couple of times before it will detach.

yes if the thing does not break. i bought it and used it once and it broke it would not let go of the can. i threw away the opener and the can attached to it

The round hole part IS the bottle opener for the crown seal (beer) bottle caps. The serrated part possibly could be used for twist off or threaded caps but would probably crush the thinner aluminum ones.

No. I don't believe there is such a thing as a SS can opener. I have used mine for 14 years and it still works great. It started rusting years ago where the handles rub in close contact when closing on the can. This is unavoidable-otherwise you would have a loose joint. A little mineral oil would help, but I haven't bothered.
