Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Can Opener With Easy Push Down Lever

Ordered a slightly blemished one without instructions. This plus me being a little slow mentally at first led me to think it didn't work as I thought it would. But it does! It seems to defy gravity which made be question what I was doing. But it's fine! The cut on the side of the can is so clean and doesn't appear that it's cut that I thought it hadn't been cut. But it had been! (Just have faith and it comes open with little effort with the fingers.) Mentally slow buyer but a truly great product! EDIT: This morning(2/27/26) the can opener stopped working: no power. So I don't know anymore. After I wrote the review I tried it on larger 27 ounce cans and the results were not so good: it took much longer and I had to work with my hands to open the cut that it made.

The Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch Electric Automatic Can Opener is an absolute game-changer for anyone looking for convenience, efficiency, and style in the kitchen. After using it for weeks, I can confidently say this is one of the best can openers I’ve ever owned. 1. Smooth Edge Technology One of the standout features is how it cuts along the side of the can instead of the top. This leaves a smooth, safe edge on both the lid and the can—no more sharp edges to worry about. It's perfect for households with kids or anyone who values safety. 2. Easy One-Touch Operation This can opener is incredibly easy to use. Simply press the lever, and it does all the work for you. It’s especially great for people with arthritis, limited hand strength, or anyone tired of fighting with manual can openers. 3. Sleek and Modern Design The black and chrome finish looks stylish and fits beautifully on my kitchen counter. It’s compact enough not to take up too much space but still sturdy enough to handle regular use. 4. Works on All Can Sizes Whether I’m opening a small can of tuna or a larger can of soup, this opener handles all sizes effortlessly. No struggling to align or fit cans—just place it under the blade, and it’s good to go! 5. Durable and Reliable The build quality is excellent. It feels solid and well-made, and the mechanism works flawlessly every time. No jamming or struggling with stuck cans—just smooth, reliable performance. This can opener is a must-have for anyone who values convenience and safety in their kitchen. It's an investment that makes cooking easier and stress-free. Highly recommended!

This is a bunch of BS. I purchased a supposed reliable can opener, with a 1 year warranty, made by a supposed reliable manufacturer (Hamilton Beach) from a supposed reliable retailer (Amazon) and even went so far as to also purchase a 4 year protection plan from a supposed reliable insurer (Asurion), which was coincidentally sold to me by the aforementioned supposed reliable retailer (Amazon). My can opener was henceforth GUARANTEED to work for a whole 5 years. Wouldn't be sweet if all of life was as secure and reliable as my can opener. But alas one day, the unthinkable, the can opener would no longer function. Will Amazon take it back? NO To much time has passed, they say. OK, then will Asurion make it good? NO Not enough time has passed, it is still in the manufacturers warranty they say. OK, then, not to worry. Surely Hamilton Beach will make it good. NO. It seems their warranty is only good when you actually purchase from them. And that my friends is know as CATCH 22. I can only add, in all sincerity, What a bunch of Crap!

I am highly satisfied with the effortless alignment and unmatched safety performance of this Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch electric can opener. The advanced automatic side-cut design is a total game-changer, slicing precisely along the side of the can structure to completely eliminate sharp, dangerous lid edges while allowing you to cleanly reuse lids for refrigerator food storage. Boasting an extra-tall profile, it fits everything from small standard containers to large pop-top and extra-tall cans smoothly under the stainless steel blade wheel assembly with zero messy spills or alignment struggles. The ergonomic push-down lever handles the hard work for you with one smooth touch action, while the clever multi-functional backend packs a built-in knife sharpener and a removable bottle opener magnet to clear out drawer gadget clutter instantly. Complete with integrated cord storage built right into the base to protect your kitchen countertop workspace layout, it delivers absolute long-term utility and total peace of mind!

Cuts the lids in an unusual way & they don’t automatically come off. Sometimes we have to work hard to separate the lids from the cans. Would like it better if there were a magnet to hold onto the lid & if the lids separated more easily from the cans.

Exceeded my expectations. Love that it can cut around pull tops on cans. Powerful. Knife sharpener works and great extra. Quit operating.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy this! Wonderful can opener. Knife sharpener works well. My arthritic hands dont hurt from struggling with manual can openers anymore!

Terrible quality. I purchased this back in September 2025 and now ~ 1-2 months later it already isn't opening cans. it just grinds and grinds the can creating metal shards. I am out of the return window with Amazon so had to call Hamilton Beach. They are covering it under warranty but I have to pay Shipping and Handling which is 50% the cost of a new one. After only 1 to 2 months having to pay 50% more just to have a working can opener is ridiculous. Will NOT be purchasing a Hamilton Beach can opener in the future. Waste of money. Hopefully I didn't just pour good money after bad by paying $15 to have a replacement shipped to me. Update 12.20.25: The warranty replacement after only a couple cans is behaving the same way. I just got metal shards that cut my finger. So now I paid for one on Amazon that is trash AND a warranty replacement one directly from Hamilton Beach and both don't work and create dangerous metals shards. Their quality control has gone WAY done. Avoid at all costs. The photo of the can shows that it just grinds the top of the can.

Takes a few tries to get used to it, but once you get the hang it, it is the best opener as cans are cut WITHOUT any sharp edges on the can or lid afterwards. Cost a bit more than some traditional openers, but works much better.

Love it easy to use. No sharp edge. Easy to clean. Don't need to leave on cupboard

Worked fairly well and I was happy with it. And today, after just 1 year of use (almost to the day), it stopped turning the cans. The motor runs but nothing happens. Piece of junk in my opinion.

J’adore le ouvre-boîte électrique. Il est silencieux, bonne construction, facile à utiliser et son apparence est super sur le comptoir. Je le recommande.

Much easier to open a can now, so I don't need to worry about opening a can with any other tools.
