"All these can openers have a smooth..." 😂😂😂 Sorry I laughed when you cut yourself.

[lisamarie]

Thank you for reviewing these. I have MS and its getting harder and harder for me to use a regular can opener

[Samtagri]

I really love that you repeated the test with the same 4 type of cans as with the manual can openers. You have the heart of a true scientist.

[jimatmile]

When I'm thinking about buying something, a lot of the time I search your videos first. So incredibly helpful. Thanks.

Thank you for spending $100+ (when you include for batteries) on automatic can openers - plus however much you spent on the manual ones - to bring us these great reviews. Not to mention now much you've spent on other products!!

I'm not interested in buying half of the stuff I watch you review. I just enjoy watching you review things. 😂😊

Never been so eager to click a can opener-related notification.

I have used a few of these over the years. My experience is that typically the 4 battery models outlast the 2 battery models. All of them eat batteries if you use them much. Sometimes the jittering and odd noises have to do more with the crimping of the lid than the opener. I finally gave up and bought a Hamilton Beach Smooth Cut countertop A/C model that I’ve had 7 or 8 years. I am much happier! It is much faster and never stalls. I got really tired of the battery models quitting halfway through a can only to find I was out of batteries. This presents a real problem. When the batteries die, the cutter and gear remain engaged to the can and you cannot remove the opener from the can. If the battery door is on the bottom, its removal is blocked by the lid of the can. You must destroy it to get it off. Most of the time, that also bends the top of the can so you can’t completely cut the lid with another opener. The Hamilton Beach is $35 at BB&B before coupons. I think I paid about the same at Walmart years ago. Love your videos and Bailey!

I like the violent stop. DINNER TIME!!!

[UncoordinatedPixie]

The irony of this video is you could have used the manual can opener to open the blister packs. I do it all the time. Love the videos and I love the fact you included Bailey in the background. 🙂

For some reason I could watch James review just about anything. I would never buy 3/4 of the things he reviews but, damn the way he does these reviews is so entertaining

[pinkrose]

Thank you for this review. My mother broke her arm and I like to look around at products that can make the kitchen easier for her. This was helpful

[immanuelhensley]

Great review man, are you able to file for workers comp. on that injury? We are all wishing you a speedy recovery 😂

[charleshankbukowski]

Looks like you’re having tuna green beans and jalapeño burritos tonight. 😂

[gmingfool]

have had a tornado for about a year it needs batteries
about once every two months.
it does struggle more with very large cans but with
my arthritis it helps. large standard can openers
you sometimes have to hold the can up while the
can turns and makes my hands hurt so these are
great if your disabled.

[JWat]

I’ve been wanting to purchase one of these for some time, but was unsure on what to purchase. You have helped me so much, thank you! Love your videos and love Bailey!! Keep up the good work! 😃

We live in times where you are shocked if products are actually capable of their intended purpose...

[SuperShiki]

I wonder how your family dinner goes
"What are we eating dad?"
"we still have 2 cans of beans"
"we ate beans for 2 days straight dad"
"well have tuna tomorrow....til sunday"

I injured my right hand last year. For a while I couldn't use a manual can opener at all. Now that it's been over 12 months since I've injured my hand, it's probably about as healed as it'll ever be. And even though I now have the ability to use a manual can opener, it is very difficult and painful. I had really hoped that I would get back 100% use of my hand, but it seems it is not to be. These little hands free battery operated openers would fit the bill for my needs. But I've never used one, so I was happy to see how they work. Thank you

The Instecho - Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looked like it opened cans from the outside, rather than inside? It explains why the juice was dripping outside as well. That sort of can opening has its place, but it's not what is usually intended by the manufacturers or particularly desired by the consumer for that matter.
