OXO Can Opener

Reality Check

The OXO Good Grips Soft‑Handled Manual Can Opener is a kitchen utensil that opens canned food by twisting a large, cushioned lever against a stainless‑steel cutting wheel. Its design includes a secondary button for opening bottles, making it a single tool for two common tasks.

The model is praised for its wide, padded handles that ease the effort needed to turn cans, which is a real benefit for anyone with reduced hand strength or arthritis. The biggest downside reported is that the lever can slip off the can or break after a few uses, so the opener may not be reliable for heavy‑use households or for those who need a tool that lasts longer than a few months.

Best For: people with arthritic or weak hand strength who value comfort over durability.
Not Recommended For: users who open many cans daily and need a tool that will not fail.

What Customers Say

Customers find this can opener works well and is easy to use, with a large rotation handle that’s easy to grip and turn. They appreciate its comfort, particularly for those with arthritic hands, and one customer notes the padded handles are easy on arthritic hands. The grip and durability receive mixed feedback – while some say it grips cans securely, others report it slipping off, and while some find it durable, others mention it breaking after one use. The blade sharpness also gets mixed reviews, with some saying it cuts cans like butter while others note it doesn’t cut all the way around.
