MIU France CanDo Safety Can Opener

I just updated (below) my review on 11-13-10 and today found out the the company DI-2000, Inc. was dissolved in 2009. Don't expect to take advantage of the "lifetime guarantee" mentioned on the packaging.

I've used this opener for several months, now and I've changed my mind about how it operates and my initial assessment. Many times I have to go around the can twice, and it still doesn't cut the lid. I've had many mangled can lids after having to use another method of opening them. I'm not sure if the problem is a certain type of can construction, but cans like tomato paste, tuna fish, tomato sauce, condensed milk are very difficult for this opener to handle. I'm going to order another opener today and just wanted to update my review of this one. Too bad - I like the edge that it creates on the cans when it does work. It is just not reliable. I get anxious every time I have to open a can, wondering if it will be a hassle or not.

After reading the reviews, I thought this sounded like the perfect can opener especially when cooking with children. It worked great for a month and then I noticed some cans required me to go around the can twice in order to remove the lid completely.
I thought it may have been the way the can was designed, so I kept using the can opener. The last time I used it, parts of the lid were cut but not the entire lid even after going around it several times. When I tried to lift the lid with my hands, I managed to get a 1/2" slice on my finger from a jagged piece on the top.
I tried it one last time to see what it did to the can and there were a couple rough spots on the lid which could have easily sliced a finger.
I am guessing this may be a defective opener based on all the reviews. If so, I'd be more than willing to try another one since it was great when I first purchased it.

I had one of those battery operated/do it by itself can openers, which is fine for some cans, but cannot deal with small cans like tomato paste properly. I would always end up using a can opener and wasting most of the product. Looking at Amazon's selection I saw that this one had good reviews, so I took a chance. It is well made/solid, easy to use (does not take much strength), and leaves non-cutting edges. And it works great on tomato paste cans !! You can't go wrong with this product if your looking for a manual can opener.
