Farberware Millennium Stainless Steel Can Opener

I expected this to be a good, strong, reliable opener and it is. It is heavy and sturdy built, easy puncture, strong grip on the can and never slips. Unfortunately it is hard to turn (arthritic hands could never work it) and it leaves the lid attached by a thin piece of metal. The lid must be twisted once or twice to break it away from the can. Wouldn't purchase another one.

I am without a can opener right now. The farberware can opener I bought in my local supermarket used it twice and all the parts fell off when I was opening my third can -I returned it of course with no receipt so they made me get another one- it just fell apart 2 days ago. I went to the other supermarket in my town and they only sell this God forsaken model!!!!
I googled bad farberware can opener and I couldn't believe people have had my same misfortune. I thougt farberware was a good name - I guess they sold out and no longer care to make a quality product.

Farberware makes the worst quality can openers than any others I have encountered. I bought two farberware can openers in the past two months and each one broke after about a one month of use. Even though they look sturdy and the grip is great, the mechanism itself quickly breaks. If you can, stay away from them. I promise you its a waste of money.
