Product Review

Boston Warehouse has created fun in the kitchen with their new Animal House products. The everyday basic kitchen gadgets are built for serious cooking¿with a smirk. The Toucan can opener will have your family squawking with delight with each newly opened can. The Toucan looks good, but also gets the job done with its ergonomic design, soft non-slip grip and stainless steel cutting blades.

Amazon.com Review

The bright colors and whimsical postures of Animal House utensils turn any kitchen into a zoo. Kids especially enjoy helping out when they get to use a monkey vegetable peeler, parakeet garlic press, or this toucan can opener. Designed by Christopher Raia Studio, the toucan features stainless-steel eyes and an orange-and-black beak formed by the high-density plastic handles. The stainless-steel cutting blades open a can with ease, and an embedded magnet lifts the sharp lid safely off the can. A great gift along with other fun utensils from the Animal House menagerie, the toucan opener most likely won't need more than an occasional wipe with a sponge. --Ann Bieri

I hesitated after reading other reviews for this line of merchandise, March 18, 2008

But I bought it, and I'm glad I did. It is not cheaply made, the 'beak' is rubberized so it is a nice feel in the hand. A decent weight also makes it feel you are getting a quality product. All that aside, it is even cuter in person. Bright color, nicely made, will make a great gift if you can part with it!

I was soooo bummed that it broke. It was the cutest can opener I ever owned. I want to buy another one just so I can use it. It has a wonderfully comfortable handle. But after a few uses, it refused to cut the can. The wheel was too close to the other part and it wouldn't let me loosen it. I bought the tupperware one this time as we have gone through 3 openers since November. They are all made so cheap these days. Where is the quality control???

I am adding to this review after I bought a second one. This one has not broken and I am so glad I bought a new one because its so cute!

Doesn't actually open cans...., January 20, 2012

Having a love for kitschy kitchen utensils when my current, boring can opener broke i jumped on ordering this one. However due to the curving of the toucan "beak" you can't press the handles close enough together to get a tight enough grip on the can to open it. Sadly had to return and even more sadly purchased another plain, boring can opener. But at least it opens cans...
