Oxo Can Openers Review

!±8± Oxo Can Openers Review

Oxo is one of the top names when it comes to can openers, and it is also one of the largest selling brands. Most of their models if not all are of the hand held mechanical design. They are the premium segment in can openers if there is something like that, and are the best in the market.

Oxo has a number of models from which you can choose. All of them use the same mechanism to cut into the can, but they all look very different. They have a pliers grip with which you can grip the can, and the mandatory key which you twist to get the opener to cut through the top.

Most of their openers are made of durable plastic and are dishwasher safe too. Basically there is no difference between them and other mechanical can openers in the market. They all follow the same principle which was invented in the 1930's. What sets them apart is their ergonomics; how nicely they are shaped, and how comfortable they are when you hold them.

Most of them cost between and , although there is one model, their magnetic one that costs around more. The reason for this is that this model comes with a magnet that holds the top of the can as it is cut through, so that it does not fall into the can once it is open fully. Secondly, it is much safer to dispose off because you will not even have to lay a finger on it when you do so.

All Oxo products come with their "good grips" trademark which means that the handles are covered with rubber so that you can hold them without it slipping off. Most other openers come with soft plastic covers for their handles that are not as effective. One of the largest issues with regular can openers is the grip. Many people, especially the elderly, have trouble holding onto the opener hard enough for it to grip. This 'Good Grip' technology solves this problem.

If you want a really good mechanical can opener, Oxo is the best that you can get. There are a number of other makes that cost less than an Oxo, but none of them give you the same comfort of use. If just looking at it will not convince you try one out and then see if you don't change your mind or not.

Electric Can Openers Review

!±8± Electric Can Openers Review

Electric can openers are actually a very old design. The first electrically operated can opener was patented in 1931 but failed because they were too complicated in design. Until 1956, there were no electrically powered can openers to speak of until Udico brought a simple free standing device that was a combination can opener and knife sharpener that became a hit immediately.

All electric can openers operate on the same principle, and that is based on the more than a century old bunker tin opener design. The simplest of them are nothing but an electrical version of the mechanical bunker design. There is a gripping lever that grips the can in place, along with a cutting wheel. This wheel is connected by gears so that it can rotate, cutting the can as it does so and the same gears also work with the gripping mechanism to rotate the can about its axis.

The usual way that the electric can openers work is by keeping the can in place and depressing the lever that is found in front. This lever is connected to a switch so that when it is depressed, the machine comes on. The tin openers are actually very fast and can open more than 20 cans per minute in even the simplest of designs.

There are a number of versions that you can choose from with prices starting from to more than . There is not much difference between the cheap and more expensive ones in the way they work or their efficiency levels. The only difference is in the brand and the finish. The plastic can openers are cheaper than the stainless steel ones, and the taller ones that are capable of opening bigger tins are more expensive than the smaller ones.

The simple hand held openers are more mid range because they are battery operated. These can openers are probably the best of the lot because you just fix them on the jar and push one button, and the job is done. You can use them for tins of any size and they work equally well with all of them.

If however you are just looking for a good value for money can opener then you'll be hard pressed to go past the standard hand held manual openers. They are cheap, quick and do the job well. At the end of the day the choice is up to you!
