5 best can openers

A can opener is an important helper in the kitchen. It will allow you to quickly and effortlessly open any cooking or serving jars. In contrast to the old openers, even children can use modern can openers - such tools are safe and easy to operate.

But in order for the knife to serve for a long time and be comfortable, it is necessary to choose it correctly. We selected the top 5 can openers (both mechanical and electric). This will let you know which models to look for when buying a tool.

How to choose the best can opener

Even choosing a simple item like a mechanical or electric can opener can be a problem. Despite the seeming ease of selection, this tool must be bought based on some features. Only then will you find a truly durable and comfortable model.

1. The form. Mechanical "openers" come in different forms. Most often, you can find a variant with handles - it snaps onto the can and turns with a valve on its side. There are round models that are put on the jar and turned by hand. Which is more convenient - you decide.
2. Material. Pay attention to the thickness and quality of stainless steel from which the mechanical knife is made. The more reliable the material, the longer the tool will last in the kitchen. It is better not to take mechanical models with plastic handles - they serve less than metal ones. This does not apply to "round" models - their case does not undergo such loads. Electric can openers should also be made from high quality raw materials - especially the cutting mechanism itself.
3. Build quality. It is important that all parts fit well together, do not hang out and do not play. If there are open metal edges, they should be treated against sharp burrs.
4. Comfortable handles. They should be ergonomic and fit comfortably in your hand. Otherwise you will not be able to fix the mechanical knife on the jar and open it normally. If you have a small palm, choose knives with thinner handles to make them easier to hold.
5. Battery. Electric knives can work both from batteries and from the network. Recent models are usually quite large and heavy - they need to find a place in the kitchen. Knives with batteries are compact, they are easier to place even in a small kitchen.

Five simple parameters will help explore the potential convenience and quality of the model and make the right choice for your kitchen.

The best mechanical can openers

Joseph Joseph Can-Do

Rating: 4.9

In fact, the most convenient can opener of all. It has a comfortable round shape - no need to hold the handles to open the jar. On the sides - special hollows under the fingers. The mechanism involves a minimum of effort - just put the knife on the jar, press the button on the side, and then scroll through the valve. The cover will be cut cleaned in just a few turns.

The tool is assembled from thick ABS plastic and the main part of stainless steel.Everything that comes into contact with the can is made of stainless steel. The plastic shell is rather decorative in nature - the knife will last a long time. An important feature is that the tool cuts the cover from the side, not from the top. Therefore, there may be sharp edges that are easier to touch.

Nadoba sirena

Rating: 4.8

Elegant can opener with handles. The tool is made entirely of stainless steel. Handles and the screw are covered from above with plastic for convenience of operation. The pleasant bend of the handles makes it comfortable to feel the “opener” in your hand. The tool is more suitable for the right hand. The cutting roller opens the cover from the top, without cutting off the rounded edges around it. This is convenient if it is important for you not to cut yourself. But the small edges (almost imperceptible) on the inside may remain, so you need to be careful when removing the product.

A nice feature of the model is in a removable cutting roller. If he starts to get blunt, it is easy to remove it from the tool and sharpen. Therefore, the knife can be called almost eternal - even the manufacturer gives a guarantee of 5 years. In the reviews, some customers notice that the tool is tight - you should take this into account before buying.

Tefal ingenio

Rating: 4.8

A bright representative of the line of products for the kitchen Ingenio, this knife is able to take its rightful place in your kitchen. The basis of the tool is made of stainless steel. The handles are covered with a thick layer of heat-resistant plastic that can withstand heat up to 220 degrees. The shape of the handles is very comfortable and will fall into any hand. But if the plastic is broken off, then using the knife will be uncomfortable.

In addition to the cutting tool, there is a bottle opener on the “metal” side. And on the handle - an additional plastic prong for opening cans with pickles. Plastic screw cover rounded. In the reviews, they note that the mechanism turns quite easily - even a child can cope with the can.

Regent inox Linea CUCINA 93-CN-04-02

Rating: 4.7

Not bad, but not perfect can opener with its drawbacks. The rounded shapes of this Italian tool allow you to keep it comfortable during operation. The handles, despite their biconvex shape, lie comfortably in the palm of the hand and do not slip. The screw has a wavy shape and is covered with a rough plastic, which improves grip and facilitates opening.

Unfortunately, all convenience can be canceled out by defective models, which are sometimes found on sale. Some customers complained that poorly working can openers came to them. Qualitative models, however, open banks like watches - they easily cut through tin and do not leave strong burrs on the can.

The best electric can opener

Endever Smart-25

Rating: 4.9

Massive electric can opener in a stylish black design. A power of 70 watts will allow almost no waste of electricity at work and at the same time open cans in a few seconds.

On the lever of the knife is a magnet, which will not allow the cover to fall into the product. The bank at the opening will turn itself - you just need to hold it so that it does not move and fall. The manufacturer claims two additional features - a bottle opener and knife sharpening.

The size of the bottle opener is universal - you can stick a jar of almost any size into it - both flat and small with caviar, and huge with stew or pineapple. Conveniently, the tool itself stops when the cover is completely cut off. After opening the jar enough to carefully unhook from the knife.
