eaglesight777 says "Very easy to use once you know the quirks" about Handy Handy Can Opener

The Handy Can-Opener, although punctuated badly, is a snap to use as long as you know its little quirks. Simply place the apparatus over the can, with the metal parts that do the job positioned properly. Hit the button on the top. The opener will begin to work around the outside of the can, with the can doing a jerky little dance to keep time. When the top pops off, don't try to wrest the lid out of the mechanism--it's just not quite done yet. The next thing that will happen is that the wheel will retract; it will take another 10 seconds or so.

If, like 2 of the previous reviewers, the can opener suddenly seems to give up the ghost, the magnetic button in the center bottom has probably gotten stuck drawn into the machine. My husband realized this was the problem when he decided to try holding a magnet to the button and then hitting the power button. When he realized this was the problem he simply opened the can with the small magnet in place below the can opener's magnetic button and after...

i have tried several batteries, i do not have instructions (except on the side of opener which is confusing) the opener worked on christmas day and not since then. i would really like to get another one since it was a gift but I cant find another one and really feel i should not be charged for a replacement.

Handy Can-Opener. Worked for about 1 month. Bought one for my daughter and it broke right away. It is a piece of junk. Will not buy another one.

I received this can-opener as a gift and thought it an odd choice. That is until I used it. It is nice and small (fits into a silverware drawer) very easy to use and quiet! It cuts the whol lid off the can so no sharp edges. All you do is put it on top of the can, hit the button and away it goes. It finds the edge itself, makes the TOTAL cut and then shuts off by itself. It works on batteries so no messy cords and lasts a long time. This was the sleeper gift that wound up being one of the best I have ever received!...

Larupi says "Handy Can-Opener is a bargan with a simpler design." about Handy Handy Can Opener

The Handy Can-Opener is more durable than the standard One Touch can opener and cost less than half the price of One Touch. With One Touch you are paying for the advertising on TV. There are no complicated release screws and switches on Handy Can-Opener. All you do if the can opener stops unexpectedly, is turn the release which is conveniently located on the side of the can opener. If you want one, the only place I have seen Handy Can-Opener though, is CVS Pharmacy.

The simple design makes Handy Can-Opener easier to use. Just put it on a can and push the button for a few seconds. The can opener does the rest. If the can is bigger than a 28 oz. baked beans can--you will need to push the button again with the opener positioned before the stopping point. A magnet on the bottom picks up the lid for you.
