Product Description
Kuhn Rikon named it Ergo for its irresistibly rounded shape tailored to fit the hand and its big rubber turning knob. Then they dressed it in hip, fun color. Underneath the fashion statement, the cutting wheel cuts from the side leaving the rim smooth, not sharp or jagged. The tiny jaws of the exclusive Lid Gripper clamp onto the lid rim and lifts off the top. Hold over trash container, open jaws and dispose of the lid without touching it with your hands. 5.75-inch Red

I love this can opener. I had a different “safety” can opener so I was familiar with the initially awkward position it needs to be in. This one is very comfortable. The red is a rusty red color. It is not a bright red at all. I just got this opener a few weeks ago, so I don’t know it’s long-term productivity. The other brand I owned (OXO) lasted about 4 years before it wore out–it just got dull and I needed to do about 5 or 6 revolutions for it to open the can.

This can opener is hard to use. The first time I used it I was not impressed with the opener. I would not recommend this opener.

I ordered this can opener and at the same time I ordered the “Oxo Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener” – did this to compare items side-by-side. The Kuhn Rikon took some learning – after we figured it out it does, indeed, take the lid off a can very neatly just as promised. The angle of the knob is not nearly as comfortable or as easy to operate as the Oxo model. I returned the Kuhn Rikon and kept the Oxo.

Good quality for the price. My wife still wants an electric, but I’d rather use this. Also have a Zyliss that works about the same. The lid lifer on the KR is handy for some cans.
