The can opener is useless, the blade doesn't even go down enough to puncture the can...

These can openers are not the best but are a good value for the price you pay. the biggest issue we had with them is that they didn't not come with any mounting hardware.

This can opener works very well. It's got plenty of weight to it. The mounting plate that came with is is adequate. It didn't have any screws included so I did have to pick those up to mount it.

Garbage. First one I thought was perhaps defective. Got a replacement gear/blade set, which only continued to make it be garbage. Ordered a second entire unit, which was also garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS CAN OPENER.

The Choice Prep Light Duty Manual Can Opener is a fantastic investment for any restaurant, cafe, or store that needs a variety of cans opened. The blade is removable, which makes cleaning super easy. You do have to get a good grip or else it might slip away, but overall it is a great product.

The description says light weight, but this can opener has gone thru thousands of cans with damage at all. You do have to get a good firm grip on it, but it works well.

Went with a lower priced item to save money and the item gets the job done sometimes. The tooth didn’t always grab the can the best and sometimes doesn’t open the can all the way.

Such a piece of crap. Total waste of money. Cheap, poor materials, terrible at opening cans, don't even use it (easier to use hand opener than struggle with this unit).

VERY POOR QUALITY - on FIRST USE was not able to open a #10 can of pineapples. I bought 3 of these for multiple locations and did not even open the other 2 and now trying to return them and they will not accept a return on these items. Huge waste of money! Buy Edlund - they are solid quality and work!

Used this Product for less than 2 weeks, and the gears stopped grabbing the cans. If your using a high amount of cans, I would not suggest this product.

I purchased this unit, installed the base plate and attempted to use it then found out that the bar does not fit into the base. after about a week of emails and sending pictures they sent me a new base plate which then did fit. It worked "ok" for about a couple weeks but not after almost 2 months it hardy grabs the cans and mostly just spreads metal shavings everywhere. i thought because of the good review score it got it wast worth saving the money on getting this cheap unit. I replaced a 2o year old edlund unit cause it was just old and beat up and needed all new parts, Now i wish we kept the old unit do i could rebuild it, i am not purchasing a new can opener.

Don't waste money on this Can opener. We order the first one, did not open #10 cans. Webstaurantstore was nice enough to send us a second one because they said once we used it we could not return it( how could I understand it didn't work properly without using it???). Unfortunately the second one is the same. The gears slip and it fails at the only job it has. It does not open any size cans.

Thank you for your review, Harlan! Our Customer Solutions team has been in touch with you about this can opener. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Solutions. Please note, performance issues are addressed through the manufacturer warranty process rather than through a return since we only sell brand new products. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Solutions--we'd be happy to help!

Poor quality. I should have read the reviews more carefully before buying. The design looks similar to others, but I chose it because of the lower price. However, it’s unusable due to its functionality when turning to open canned food. The part that opens the can scrapes against it, causing metal shavings to fall into the food. I had to throw away an entire can of coconut milk. Don’t buy this item.

Thank you for your review, Montira! A Customer Solutions Representative has been in touch with you about this can opener. To help prevent the creation of metal shavings during use, maintain the can opener by regularly replacing the blade and gear. Check the blade by carefully running a fingernail over the edge to check whether a groove has developed. The gear should also be checked by opening a #10 can and looking at the lines left by the gear. If the lines are wide and uneven instead of narrow and evenly spaced and/or the blade is discovered to have a groove, both the blade and gear should be replaced. In addition, avoid manually sharpening the blade. Replacement blades and gears can be found by clicking the “Need Parts and Accessories?” button on this page.
