Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Toastmaster 2244 Handheld Can Opener
Customer Review: Serves its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
When the time came to shop for a new can opener, I was really interested in B&D's Gizmo, but it didn't receive the reviews I was hoping for so I decided to keep looking. I was looking for something that didn't clutter my countertop and saw everything from $3.00 cheap ones to $300 commercial can openers. I think in every product in which I read reviews there were complaints that after a period of time the can opener didn't cut as easily nor work as well as it did in the beginning. This is true of all can openers (metal on metal cutting will cause the blade to get dull), so I decided on this can opener because it will cut any size can, I can store it away, it's electric alleviating any dead battery concerns, and most of all it's low-priced. I figured if the expensive ones were going to experience the same troubles, I might as well save some money. So far, I have not been disappointed with this can opener. Did I figgit around trying to open the first can? Sure I did, but I would do this with any electric can opener trying to figure it out. I like the fact that the cord on this is coiled so that I don't have 3 feet of cord to handle every time I use it and I like the fact that the magnet that holds the can flips up to narrow the can opener for easier storage. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's still too fat to store in my drawer as I originally wanted, but I just store it now in my appliance caddy on my countertop and it doesn't take up much room. I'm a practical person in the kitchen. I don't need top-of-the-line products; I don't necessarily feel paying more always gets more and is goint to last longer, and I don't feel that any slight inconveniences negate the entire quality of the product.
If you're like me and figure that in 5-7 years you're going to have to replace the can opener anyway (nothing lasts anymore!), then save yourself some money and buy this one. It serves its purpose and it's inexpensive too.
