Nemco 56050-1 CanPRO Heavy Duty Side Cut Manual Can Opener - Permanent Mount

I've experienced the same issues that Alvin T. from Mary B's Southern Kitchen did. Nemco is awesome at almost everything they make for the kitchen, but this patented opener is not the winner I hoped it would be. Only tried two cans so far but neither would open. It could be that I'm not using it right, but I read the manual, watched the videos, and tried opening two cans about 10 times each. I ended up cutting myself on some tiny metal filings that this opener cut out of the can and have a bloody finger to show for it. I'll be calling WebstaurantStore tomorrow to arrange an exchange for an different opener. Sorry Nemco.

I am compelled to share my on going struggles with this can opener. We are a high volume production kitchen that opens 15-20+ a day. We began noticing that it will not open particular #10 cans with a higher lip, also experienced the gripping and cutting functions started failing after a month of use. I actually returned this item to NEMCO under warranty and they sent it back to me with nothing changed or information on what was going wrong other than Over rotation will cause undo ware and metal shavings! We purchased this item to be a safer, more efficient kitchen which has been the opposite of our experience. After the cost + in extra parts, cutters, turners, & sending it out for repair. I am giving up and ordering a different product. Great in theory not in practice.

Worth every penny! Opens cans easily and without any sharp edges. After a year or two, you may have to replace the blade. Does not work well with small cans.

It's more expensive than the old style gear/knife combo, but it's well worth it. We haven't had a single cut since I put them in my kitchens. If you are high volume, order the extra gear to you can replace when the cans start "slipping". One of the best buys I've made for us.

Nemco 56050-1 Heavy Duty CanPro Side Cut Manual Can Opener NSF is the best can opener I have every used . it's works like no other . 3 turns and the can is open.. the best

This can opener ROCKS! It's very different in how it works compared to other can openers so it takes some getting used to for some workers.

This can opener is very different from other can openers. It basically separates the lid from the can where it was press down into the can. The problem I had was getting the lid out after separating it. The other problem was some cans would not open no matter how much I tried. I called the customer service at Nemco and the young lady I talk with was no help at all. She bacically said I'm stuck with an opener that will not open all cans.

This can opener has been mounted to our counter for 9 years and has to have been used over 50,000 times! If you have an industrial kitchen, you would be foolish not to upgrade to this opener!

This can opener works great. I use a lot of number 10 cans and they open them up as quick as can be. Any restaurant that uses a lot of cans needs to get one of these!

Even though more expensive than the traditional can opener this one has saved a lot of money for us, the blade is incredibly easy to change and at such a low price a replacement you can't get any cheaper , the quality is there as well , we switched all three restaurant to this can opener as we needed to replace them and have saved us a lot of money , and the description of the product is very accurate , not one metal shaving in any can ever

Awesome. This is the best commercial cano opener i have ever used. This can opener is easy to use, safe for employees and sanitary for no hastle health inspections.

best can opener we ever bought this open can with little effort and with no sharp edges graet i will buy again if needed the employees love it also

This can opener is not only safe but stays clean even in the heaviest of use. Easy to clean and meet those food codes when it does need cleaning. Works great leaves a safe edge!!

This particular canpro side cut opener is fabulous! The ease of operation makes work alot quicker and easeier. The weight is evenly distributed and the turning knob is easy to grip, no stress on the wrist. definitley recommend to others looking for an opener.
