This is a great can opener! The best part is it never needs to be washed because it never gets dirty. It is designed to use horizontally rather than vertically, it cuts open the can but doesn't touch the food inside. It has built in little pliers to remove the lid and it can be replaced if you are going to store it in the refrigerator half used. I am such a fan of Rosle products- smartly engineered and of great quality. Don't be dismayed about the price because you will not likely need another can opener in your lifetime.

This review is from: Rosle Can Opener (Kitchen)

I decided to shop for a can opener online because all I could find in local stores were openers made in China. I was a bit dissapointed when the $40 Rosle can opener arrived with a "Made in China" sticker attached. don't get me wrong, it seems well built but I thought I was paying the high price for a German crafted kitchen tool.

It does work as described and leaves no sharp edges but is nearly impossible to use on a can that is slightly dented and on a perfect can it is more cumbersome to use than a standard top opening manual opener.

Rosle Can Opener - An Amazing Product, February 9, 2010

This review is from: Rosle Can Opener (Kitchen)

There are two versions of this product. One with a plastic handle and the all stainless version with pliers grip. I am writing this review for the all stainless version. I am a real fan of Rosle and have several of their products and am happy with every one. They are of high quality and are a great addition to any kitchen. As for this item, as I said in the title it is amazing. Never has it been easier to open a can,there are no sharp edges and the can top can be placed back on the can. No residue will get on the opener so there is no need for cleanup and no bacteria hiding on the opener. I have had friends purchase this opener as well as other Rosle products after seeing mine.
When you open your first can with a Rosle you may be surprised and think "it didn't work" as it takes very little effort to open the can. But grab the can edge with the pliers grip and it will lift right off. This is truly an impressive product and well worth the price.
