Rival CN753 Can-opener —

Well, this thing will get the cans open, but it takes too much work. The lifty part with the blade gets stuck in the up position way too often and takes all kinds of wiggling and yanking to get it back down. It can be difficult to line up the blade properly with the can lid. It does have a pop-up feature for tall cans, but is of little use since it does not actually "pop up" (you have to push the button and then pull it up by hand) and then it cannot stay standing up with a can that size attatched to it! So much for that feature. It is also difficult to clean with out taking the whole thing and placing it under the faucet. Although I usually get my cans open, overall this thing has mostly been a pain. I look forward to a new one. (I've been using this Rival for over 3 years now.)
