Oxo Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener
The OXO Smooth Edge Can Opener cuts on the side of the can, below the edge - leaving no sharp edges on a can or lid. The side-wind knob with non-slip, comfortable grip is easy to use. The durable cutting wheel doesn't touch the can contents, while the lid pliers allow no-touch lid removal. It's a safe, hygenic way to open large & small lids.
Sometimes the wheel needs to be reinvented, and the side-operation can opener, like this Good Grips Smooth Edge model from Oxo, is a case in point. Designed to operate on the horizontal, the opener makes a smooth cut below the can edge. The lid doesn't fall into the can, and the opener makes minimal contact with can contents. Built-in lid pliers let you grip the lid without touching it for clean and efficient removal. Though the large handles may be unwieldy for small hands, Oxo does use soft, nonslip material for a more comfortable grip. Like most standard manual openers, this unit is designed for right-handed operation. It measures 7-1/2 inches long and is safe for the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

Oxo Good Grips Smooth Edge Can Opener Reviews
Bought this can opener to replace the worst can opener ever, and so far its a great improvement. Once one gets used to the new way of opening, its easy. Great product, but a little difficult to learn initially.
Seriously, it works on bent cans, small tomato paste cans and large fruit cans. Apart from the smooth edges, the can opener itself stays clean since nothing ever touches the contents of the can. It takes a time or two to get used to the way it works, but work it does and quite well. Tired of lousy can openers, I ordered three different ones from Amazon. I like the smooth edges.
If there is a downside, it's the slightly increased grip strength this can opener needs, but well within normal adult ability. They're so clean that I emptied, then re-assembled some cans and put them back in the pantry as a joke. My wife never caught it even with the light weight (thinking we had been cheated by the manufacturer). Tried this one first and never looked at the other two.
I'd recommend this product to others. (Thus the only reason for 4 stars, rather than 5). I love that it opens the can with relative ease and there are no sharp edges. Though this is clunky and definitely not a slim design, I found this to be a fantastic can opener.
