Toastmaster 2247 Electric Can Opener with Soft Touch Handle

This is a very nice and affordable can opener. It is small enough to tuck out of the way when it's not in use, which is great for a small kitchen. Since it is tall, you can even open the 'family size' cans.

**TIP**
Still keep a hand can opener around if the power is out.

This low-end can opener is practically useless. 90% of the time it fails to operate completely, opening a portion of the can and then stopping. I paid $14.00 for it... and it's worth about ... well, it's not worth anything actually. I would NOT recommend this horrible can opener. I'd prefer using a nail and a hammer over this thing!

Here are the problems I had. It cuts out after 1/4 inch of cutting. I constantly had to reset the can and try over and over. I had to hold the can on it. It wouldn't take the smaller cans. It lets go of cans. More than once tomato sauce ended up on the counter and floor. It falls over. I threw it back in the box and gave it to charity. It is not worth a penny. I would recommend that you not purchase it. Check out the Black and Decker rechargable canopener on amazon. I bought one and just love it. Amazon shouldn't sell this toastmaster piece of crap. Here's the link for the Black and Decker. Great price right now too. Definately a good deal.
