Super Kim Safety Can Opener, Made in France, Leaves No Sharp Edges, Red

I bought this can opener in 2024, 2 years ago, and it's still opening cans like a dream! It cuts smoothly and turns with ease. There's never been a can it didn't open like slicing through butter. No skipping or sticking or free spinning without cutting. It's simple to use and doesn't require you to get it on the can just right to work. This can opener out performs even the electric ones. I also love that it's super compact so it fits nicely in my cramped drawer (I live in a 5th wheel). The price is pretty steep compared to others, but you get what you pay for. This is a top quality can opener that will last for years. It's well worth the price since you're not forced to buy a new one every few months. Just the frustration this can opener saves you from makes it worth gold!

I haven't opened many cans with this Nogent yet, but it worked wonderfully the times I did. It was kind of tricky to get it to latch onto the can my first attempt, but once I figured it out it works great. The inside of the can gets pressed smooth all around, so no worries about getting cut. It was easy to turn and has large wings to push/grip in order to spin. This relives pressure on any specific point or on individual fingers, which I assume would be helpful for anyone with arthritis/joint pain. Now just to see how long it holds up. My more traditional "original" can opener with the disc cost almost as much as this and lasted only about 10 cans before skipping in cuts. I'll change my review if this Nogent can opener fails any time soon. Edit: Several cans in and I like it more and more. Works great on squared cans. Easy to get on and off now that I'm familiar with it. I may buy a couple as presents.

Brilliant little device. Really was skeptical about this based on other reviews. Unfortunate to read that so many others had bad luck with theirs. I really must say that this is not the most user friendly can opener. If you really work in your kitchen at home - having some dexterity in your hands and some eyes to see whats going on, you are going to be unphased by the use of this opener. Removing the lid can be a bit tricky as this does cut the edge and drop the lid into the can, but the can doesn’t have the sharp edges which is nice. Handle wings are nice and big for easy turning.

So far this thing is great, It takes up way less space and does a great job opening cans . This silly little gadget adds joy to our life by just working the way a can opener is supposed to. Immediately after using this can opener for the first time I threw our old "made in america" cheap junk that did not work in the trash. I then did the happy dance grinning like an idiot. You get the point? This thing locks on the can and you twist it and it give you a nice clean cut with no jagged edges. PERFECTION. Why? is this performance hard to find in the world of can openers? That is a pathetic state of affairs. It is totally ridiculous that i find myself writing excitedly about such a simple product that works. All because half of the products we buy nowadays are junk that do not work new out of the box. Buy this thing,to replace over engineered, overly complex,overpriced, non functional and under performing junk. then have joy in simplicity, live life

FOLKS! I have cut open probably 7 or 8 cans with this myself, and it does a great job, but I have to warn you, watch for metal curly Qs coming off after the cut. I have not ever had a can opener do this, and I don't know why this one does. It is the nicest and easiest one to use out of any I have had, once it is started right I mean to tell you there isnt an issue except the cut will have a few metal curly slivers that we make sure doesn't get into the food in the can when taking the lid off. Seems like every can, varying brands, etc that this opener still does this on..... weird!

Love this can opener. Aside from the electric opener, this is our favorite for a manually operated can cutter. Pros: - Cuts perfectly - Doesn't slip / Grips can well - Easy to attach - Easy to remove (just slight turn in reverse fully releases) - Glides fine on can - Large wings provide reasonable leverage for ease of turning. They are not the easiest we have ever tried but they feel to rank right up near the top of not being difficult to turn, at all. Better than reasonable. - Consume very little space / super compact without the long handles in the way - perfect for storage, esp. when space is a concern. - Great for camping or backpacking! Cons: - A little costly for the amount of metal but then again, NOT cheap Chinese knock-offs, either. Final thoughts: - Love the product - Wish cost was lower - Highly Recommended - Would buy again if I needed another - may buy another anyway, just for travel!

In 70 years I have used countless types of can openers. This one is unquestionably the absolute best and easiest! Pros A perfectly smooth cut Easy to get on the can Easy to turn Easy to get off the can Easy to clean Cons None

I decided to try a lot of different can openers and to figure out which was best . This one was my over all favorite for every day use. I use it at home all the time. It opens cans well and seldom get s off track . It is much more compact in the drawer than the types that have long grip handles and it works better than any of those types that i tried. It is easier to use and a little faster than the types of hand operated openers that don't have a twist geared drive. it's bigger than all of those, and uses up more steel to make. It's convenience and speed combined with it's relatively less wasteful design than every other opener with a similar twist geared mechanism attracted me to it as the best compromise.

parfait!

I understand why a few people have said this is fiddly to use or doesn't seem to stay on. Trick is not to try to mount this can opener in either horizontal or vertical positions, it goes on neither way despite how most can openers work! This little beauty sits on your can at its own unique slanted angle while it does its thing. You don't need to worry about that though, just put the cutter over the can lip and turn. It grabs and starts to turn and cuts easily. When finished, give it a turn on the reverse direction and it disengages. Very simple. Needs two hands though unlike some fancy electric ones available now. It is however very small, easy to store and seems strong and able to last a long time. I have owned this for several years now and it still works like new. Made in France. Nice practical gadget. ***Update after 9 years of use*** Still works like new. No rust, no issues, still does its thing. Doesn't get as much use as more and more cans move to ring pull style but this little can opener is there when needed. Great quality.

Parfait

Sturdy mechanism, rounds cut edges, and is space efficient.

Esta pequeña maravilla me llegó esta tarde, después de haberme cargado unos cuantos abrelatas de chinos y de grandes supermercados que resultaron igual de inútiles. Actualmente, muchas latas vienen con abrefácil, pero las latas que llegan desde los bancos de aliemntos, como la cruz roja, etc no se abren bien y usan un metal como las latas de antaño, de hace 20 años, con lo cual se hace muy difícil abrirlas. De hecho, tengo más de 25 latas que no podía abrir porque todos los abrelatas se rompieron. Pero hay algunas advertencias: a) las latas necesitan ser altas, porque si no, la mariposa no da vueltas. Pero NO PASA NADA, es tan fácil como poner otra lata debajo, o bien algo pequeño y estable debajo, y se abre perfectamente. b) al principio es difícil encajar la lata dentro, porque la ruedecilla dentada está muy pegada a la cuchilla, pero es tan fácil como ponerla a la posición de abajo y ya está. c) no sé si es un problema de mi abrelatas en particular o qué, pero no me resulta que haya ningún imán ni nada que deje la parte cortada arriba, pero fue tan fácil como sacarla con un tenedor y un poco de maña, sin cortarme para nada. Igual un día me pongo a imantar las garras de metal para ver si pueden hacer esta función sin problemas, o le pego un par de imanes chatitos con un pegamento de ésos de dos componentes para que no se suelten... Pero el abrelatas funciona magníficamente por todo lo demás y no lo voy a devolver, entre otras cosas porque ya lo he usado para abrir un par de latas de atún que eran imposibles de abrir con nada, más que a cuchillazo limpio como hacía en mi juventud si no tenía un abrelatas a mano (cosa que ya no puedo hacer, por cosas de la salud más que de la edad...) d) como ya dicen otros comentarios, no se puede abrir con una sola mano, sobretodo si la lata es pequeña, redonda, y con envase antiguo de lata de atún, porque el aceite se escapa, y te puedes manchar o ensuciar la mesa. Lo ideal es que en cuanto se abra un poco la lata, sacar el aceite (para tirarlo o aprovecharlo para una ensalada, por ejemplo). e) lástima que no se pueda desmontar para lavarla, pero nada, debajo de un chorro de agua, y si acaso con un poco de detergente lavavajillas o vinagre para sacar la grasa, y secarlo bien para que no se oxide. En definitiva, un pequeño abrelatas como los de antes, que no se rompían tan fácilmente, y que estaban hechoscon materiales simples y bastante útiles y duraderos... aunque la verdad, no sé si va a ser duradero, pero me ha sorprendido que casi no tuviera que hacer esfuerzo en abrir la lata, lo que es genial, porque tengo problemas de salud y he perdido mucha fuerza en las manos (no es artrosis, pero el uso de muletas durante años me ha destrozado las muñecas, y todas las falanges de todos los dedos de las dos manos, conservo bastante movimiento, a diferencia de la artrosis). O sea que genial, ero que el filo dure muchos años, y en general me vaya bien y no se doble o rompa como todos los demás hasta ahora...
