The can opener is an important assistant in the kitchen. It will allow you to quickly and effortlessly open any cans for cooking or treats. In contrast to old bottle openers, modern can openers can be used even by children – such tools are safe and easy to use.

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

How to choose the best can opener

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

1. The form. Mechanical 'openers' come in many forms. Most often, you can find a variant with handles – it snaps into place on the bank and turns with a valve on the side. There are round models that are put on the jar and rotated by hand. Which is more convenient – you decide.
2. Material. Pay attention to the thickness and quality of the 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 stresses. Electric can openers also need to be made from quality raw materials – especially the cutting mechanism itself.
3. Build quality. It is important that all parts fit well to each other, do not dangle or play. If there are exposed metal edges, they must be processed from sharp burrs.
4. Comfortable handles. They should be ergonomic and fit comfortably in the hand. Otherwise, you will not be able to fix the mechanical knife on the can and open it normally. If you have a small palm, choose knives with thinner handles for easier grip.
5. Battery. Electric knives can be operated both from batteries and from the mains. The latest models are usually quite large and heavy – they need to find a place in the kitchen. Battery-powered knives are compact and easier to position even in a small kitchen.

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

Best mechanical can openers

Joseph joseph can-do

Rating: 4.9

In fact, the most convenient can opener of all. Convenient round shape – no need to hold handles to open the jar. On the sides there are special depressions for the fingers. The mechanism involves a minimum of effort – just put the knife on the can, press the button on the side, and then turn the valve. The lid will be cut clean in just a few turns.

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

Advantages

• The best knife for ease of use.
• Can be used with one hand.
• Suitable for right-handers and left-handers.

disadvantages

• Sharp edges remain.

Nadoba sirena

Rating: 4.8

An elegant can opener with handles. The tool is made entirely of stainless steel. The handles and screw are covered with plastic on top for easy operation. The pleasant bend of the handles allows you to feel the 'opener' comfortably in your hand. The tool is more suitable for the right hand. The cutter roller opens the cover from above without cutting off the rounded edges around it. This is handy if you want to avoid cutting yourself. But small (almost invisible) edges on the inside can remain, so be careful when removing the product.

A nice feature of the model is the removable cutting roller. If it starts to dull, it can be easily removed from the tool and sharpened. Therefore, the knife can be called almost eternal – even the manufacturer gives a 5-year warranty. In the reviews, some customers notice that the tool is a little tight – you should take this into account before buying.

Advantages

• Successful handle ergonomics.
• Removable cutting roller.

disadvantages

• Slightly tight.

Tefal ingenio

Rating: 4.8

A prominent representative of the Ingenio kitchen product line, this knife can take its rightful place in your kitchen. The base of the tool is made of stainless steel. The handles are covered with a thick layer of heat-resistant plastic that can withstand temperatures up to 220 degrees. The shape of the handles is very comfortable and will fit in any hand. But if the plastic breaks off, then using the knife will be uncomfortable.

There is a bottle opener on the 'metal' side besides the cutting tool. And on the handle there is an additional plastic prong for opening jars of pickles. The plastic screw cover is round. The reviews note that the mechanism turns quite easily – even a child can handle the can.

Advantages

• Additional function of bottle and can openers.
• Easily opens the can.

disadvantages

• Almost completely plastic handles.

Regent inox Linea CUCINA 93-CN-04-02

Rating: 4.7

Not a bad but not perfect can opener with its drawbacks. The rounded shape of this Italian instrument will make it comfortable to hold during operation. The handles, despite the biconvex shape, fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and do not slip. The screw is wavy and covered with a rough plastic that improves finger grip and makes opening easier.

Unfortunately, all the convenience can be crossed out by defective models that sometimes come across on sale. Some shoppers have complained about poorly working can openers. High-quality models open cans like clockwork – they easily cut through the tin and do not leave strong burrs on the can.

Advantages

• Soft and comfortable plastic on the screw and handles.
• Stylish design.

disadvantages

• Sometimes you come across defective unregulated models.

Best Electric Can Opener

Endever Smart-25

Rating: 4.9

A massive electric can opener in a stylish black design. A power of 70 W will allow you to simultaneously spend almost no electricity on work and at the same time open cans in a few seconds.

There is a magnet on the knife arm to prevent the lid from falling into the food. The bank will rotate itself during opening – you just need to hold it so that it does not shift and fall. The manufacturer claims two additional features – bottle opener and knife sharpening.

The size of the opener is universal – you can put a jar of almost any size in it – both flat and small with caviar, and a huge one with stew or pineapples. Conveniently, the tool stops itself when it cuts off the cover completely. After opening the jar, it is enough to carefully unhook it from the knife.

Advantages

• Completely self-opening of the lid.
• Several additional features.

disadvantages

• Large, massive model, requires a free outlet.
