    5 Stars Doin' The Can-Can with Kenwood! Review with images 07/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Well made, robust, Easy to use, easy to keep clean, relatively quiet, 3 in 1 design.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a lot: Magnet problems when not washed, can't cut commercial grade large food tins.

    Think there's no market for a table top electric can opener? Or rather try your knuckles with mechanical ones that promise to make life easier until you grab the lid and sustain a cut? Until now, and I say it with hand on heart remembering the countless diets I have been on since 2005, food brand companies like Heinz and those endless John West tuna fish tins have been one of the very few companies who are now producing ring pulls on their tins - but it is not the standard design right across the board with lots of other companies following the trait. Put simply, there's still a market for an ... more

    4 Stars Kenwood Makes Can Opening Easy Review with images 13/05/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to use - especially good if you have dexterity problems, a reliable tin opener

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little on the expensive side full price, magnet doesn't always hold lid

    I have suffered with arthritic pain in my right hand and arm for a few years now, along with tennis elbow and as time progresses I have found it harder to find a manual tin opener I can use which isn't going to cause discomfort or pain. A few years ago I bought an electric tin opener in Morrisons - it was cheap and I thought it would solve the problem but unfortunately I quickly realised it was cheap for a reason. I paid £3.99 for what was effectively a piece of junk, and I always regretted this false economy every time I saw the Kenwood electric tin opener even though it was significantly ... more

    5 Stars My whizz in the kitchen! 09/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Everything......I love it!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None at all

    Over the past couple of years and fending for myself one thing I learnt fast was that when we first live alone, most of us end up spending money on items we really don't need to and they end up taking room in our homes and/or gathering dust. I did buy a second hand (but in great condition) electric can opener a year or so ago for about a pound at a car boot but never did use it and I binned it (big mistake!). Now before I buy things, particularly for my small kitchen I have to stop and think about the practicality of it! However of late I have been breaking can openers, left right and centre ... more

    5 Stars good product - lousy present 23/10/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I realised just what my family think of me when I received this can opener as a gift. Admittedly, my old can opener had expired some months before and I could be heard moaning about having to use a manual can opener, but I did not expect to receive this as a present. And certainly not for Mother’s Day! What happened to flowers and chocolates! Anyway, less of my moaning about my family (I blame hubby – the girls are too young to know better!) and onto the product. The Kenwood is a freestanding electric can opener. The main body of the unit is white plastic. It has a round base which ... more

    5 Stars Ken wood open your cans super fast! 18/01/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic price, easy to use, takes just a few seconds, holds on to can & lid.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None.

    As most of the gadgets and items in my kitchen, including the cupboards and worktops, are either silver or black it's fair to say that when I look for something new I always buy it in either black or silver so it fits in and doesn't look out of place on the side. I purchased this Kenwood can opener for £12.99 from Amazon about 3 months ago. This came packaged in a cardboard box and there was a bag around the product along with some small instructions just detailing how to use it and the basic safety information that you usually hear when buying an electronic item. Set up, obviously, is very ... more
