Notes from Day Undefined:
We have reviewed a several different models of can openers. This electric one by Bestday is Lisa's favorite, but for a comparison, check out our "Tech-It-Out: Can Openers" blog post.
Where you can find this product:
The Bestday Electric Can Opener reviewed by Lisa is not currently available on Amazon. We recommend taking a look at our review of the Kitchen Mama 2.0 Electric Can Opener.
If you are interested in a lower price point than the Kitchen Mama, here is another model to consider - Farberware Electric Can Opener.

PROS:
- Nice ergonomic design.
- Just one big button to push and the can opener did the rest on its own.
- No sharp edges!
- Seems to get itself into the proper position by itself (compared to another electric can opener I tested).
- And even better... once you have pushed the button to stop the opener, and it is resting back on the can (it lifts up at a bit of an angle while it is cutting the can), you can pull the lid away from the can with the magnet! Before, I was struggling a little bit to get the lid off of the can.
CONS:
- It does seem to be a bit slow, but it’s probably me just being impatient. In the Troubleshooting this says that it could be due to older batteries, but I haven't tried changing them, so I don't know. Mine currently cuts a 28 oz. can in 33 seconds or a 10 oz. can in 20 seconds.
OTHER NOTES:
This one is battery operated, so depending on whether or not you want to spend money on batteries or depending on whether or not your hand strength and coordination are an issue, manual versus batteries can be a pro or a con.
