I know I'm a sucker for kitchen gadgets but I couldn't resist this electric can-opener!
I had one a few years ago and when it eventually died, never got around to buying another one, but this one caught my eye at £12.99.
It's a free standing model and includes a knife sharpener on the back which is quite useful and which is quite efficient.
I had trouble using it at first as it was tricky to latch the can onto the wheel before switching it on. I got in such a bad mood with it that I nearly took it back, but eventually persevered and there is a definite knack to it.
Now that I've mastered the knack I find it incredibly useful, it opens any type of can easily and effortlessly, although the magnet is supposed to retain the can lid and it rarely does.
One other drawback is that the cutting attachment which comes off for easy cleaning, comes off a bit too easily at times and has dropped off and been chucked in the bin a couple of times and had to be salvaged.
A very useful addition to the
kitchen and if it packed up, I would want to replace it.
