Kenwood CO 606

I know from personal experience that something which may appear to some as merely a 'gimmick' or just a 'five minute wonder' can make an enormous difference to their lives and independence and therefore be an essential piece of equipment. This may seem very strange when I am reviewing a can opener but, for me opening a can with a manual can opener has become an impossibility. I am sure there are many like me who suffer with different health issues which result in they are limited in similar ways. In fact those suffering from arthritis would also probably use this type of gadget, as would ... more

***Background*** When I got married last year, we decided to set up an Argos wedding list because we already had most items that we needed for our home and didn't want stuck with lots of doubles. The Argos list is a great way to do this as you can put a variety of price ranges on it so that it caters for everyone. About 10 years ago I had a tumour removed from the bone in my right hand and I find it very difficult to open cans with a normal tin opener or with those little metal keys that you find on tins of ham or corned beef, so when I saw this in the Argos catalogue it went straight on the ... more

My can opener stopped working a couple of weeks ago. I had the can opener for many years. It served me well and I cannot grumble at all because it wasn’t an expensive one at the time I bought it. I always use an electric can opener because I find it much easier to open cans and find it just quick and easy to use. When my can opener stopped working I had to quickly look around for another one and one that I could buy the same day. I spotted this one and liked the look of it because it was a silver one and my previous one was white. My kitchen accessories are silver and so I thought this one ... more

I find chopping up meat and vegetables far easier and more precise when the knives are freshly sharpened. I looking for an electric knife-sharpener and when I saw this gadget on the Amazon, I bought it straight away. After several years of struggling with manual tin openers that were very stiff and caused me a great deal of frustration, it had not occurred to me to get an electric tin opener, as I always assumed they were for elderly or disabled people. The fact that I wanted a knife sharpener gave me the perfect excuse! As a knife sharpener, it does the job exactly as expected and it couldn't ... more

We bought our Kenwood CO 606 can opener about eighteen months ago and we paid quite a bit for it - around fifteen pounds if I remember rightly, and we bought it from Play.com and got free delivery and it arrived very quickly. We bought it mainly because of looks. It is so sleek and stylish and very good looking and we had first seen one at a friend's house when we went for something to eat one weekend. As soon as we saw it I just knew we would have to have one too. The Kenwood CO 606 can opener is made of shiny chrome and it looks so good on our work surface and really does catch your eye ... more
