Top 10 Handheld Can Openers
for September 2023

The Kitchen Mama electric can opener is simple to use and fairly good at cutting open cans. Its blade is sharp enough to get the job done, but it's a little slow. If you open a lot of cans, it might start to take a few minutes. The Kitchen Mama is reasonably priced, and it offers a safer alternative to using a hand-cranked can opener. (The Kitchen Mama has a rounded blade, so it won't cut your hand if you cut into your hand when opening a can of soda.) The Kitchen Mama is also fairly quiet, and it doesn't require much effort to use, so it could help anyone who's arthritic or has a hand injury. The Kitchen Mama is battery-powered, so it's portable, and it's safe to use with canned foods that include acidic ingredients, such as tomatoes and orange juice. The Kitchen Mama comes with a removable plastic guard that slides over the blade, which helps keep the blade from digging into your hand. The guard doesn't take up much room, so it's easy to pack when it's not in use.

The Hystrada Electric Can Opener is a great, well-made can opener. It has a large cutting wheel, which makes it easy to open cans of all shapes and sizes. It has an attractive, modern design, and it's comfortable to hold. The magnet seems to hold the can lid in place well, but we didn't test it by repeatedly opening cans with the lid facing the wrong way, so we can't guarantee how durable that mechanism is. The can opener is compact and portable, so it travels easily. The Hystrada Electric Can Opener doesn't make as many mistakes as other electric can openers. It doesn't jam often, and when it does jam, it's easy to fix, because you can just push down on the can to release it. The Hystrada Electric Can Opener also comes standard with a bottle opener, so it has a double purpose. The can opener is easy to clean, and both the lid and the can opener are dishwasher safe.

The Lock N' Lift can opener is a sturdy, well-made can opener. It's easy to use, with a sturdy handle and sharp blade. The locking mechanism locks the cutting wheel in place for a consistent cut, and the sharp blade easily opens cans. The cutting mechanism is made from the best high-grade, sharpened stainless steel, and the wheel to puncture cans easily. Like the Zyliss 6" can opener we tested, the Lock N' Lift comes with a built-in magnet to help you lift the lid off the can for hands free disposal once finished opening and simple disposal. The Lock N' Lift is sturdy and durable enough in commercial industrial and professional settings, and is easy to use. It's also easy to clean, with a drip tray. The Lock N' Lift is a good option for anyone looking for a can opener, and it's a good choice if your current can opener is jammed or isn't working.

The Electric Can Opener from Good Cook is a sturdy, well-made can opener. The electric can opener opens cans effortlessly, and the edge is smooth instead of sharp, so it won't cut your hands when you use it to open a can. The Electric Can Opener also has a nice, ergonomic design, and it's lightweight enough to use with one hand. The Electric Can Opener doesn't version specific, so it will open cans from all major brands and sizes, but the can opener comes with a convenient magnet, so you can attach it to your fridge. The Electric Can Opener opens cans quickly, and it has a variety of useful extra features, including a can piercer, a bottle opener, a can crusher, and a can opener wrench. The Electric Can Opener has a 5-year limited warranty.

The Kitchenmuh electric can opener does a great job of opening cans, even those with sharp edges. It's well-built and simple to use, and it cuts cans 360 degrees, so you don't need to lift the lid to pull it off. The sharp blade also leaves no jagged edges on the can, so it's safer to use than a regular can opener. The only drawback is that it's a bit slow to open cans, and if you have a lot of cans to open, it can take a while. We also wish that the blade were a bit sharper, and that it came with an attachable power cord, as it's too long to plug in directly to an outlet. Still, this is one of the best electric can openers available, and it's much less expensive than most manual can openers.

This multipurpose can opener from Nuby is a sturdy, well-made device that makes it quick and easy to open cans of all sizes. It features a large, easy-to-grip handle, convenient turn knob, and an easy-to-operate lever opening system that automatically pops the opener's sharp blade out so you can open a can without cutting yourself. The lid-lifting magnet is an added bonus, and works well, although you do have to be careful not to touch the magnet with your hand, which is a bit risky. The opener's sharp blade is strong enough to cut through thick can lids but isn't so sharp as to cut your fingers. The opener has a handy bottle opener feature, too, which is perfect for grabbing a beer after a trip to the market. The sharp blade and bottle opener features of the Nuby can opener make it a great device to have on hand.

The SPIDER GRIP Can Opener is a well-constructed, reliable, and easy-to-use can opener. It has a sturdy construction, a powerful magnet, and a large, smooth turning knob. The blade is very sharp and cuts through cans easily. The cans are safely held in place by the magnet, and the lids are held in place by the can opener's large turning knob, so you won't touch the lid with your hands. The handles are large and rotund, so they're comfortable to hold, and the blade pivots smoothly, so cutting is quiet. The can opener's magnet is powerful enough to hold the can's lid in place without interfering with the opening of the can. The SPIDER GRIP Can Opener is a good, basic can opener that's easy to use, sturdy, and reasonably priced.

The Can Opener Handheld Heavy-Duty Manual Can Opener is one of the best can openers we tested for several reasons. For one, it cuts through metal cans with ease, even old rusty ones. Its sharp blades also cut through plastic caps without a scratch. The can opener also works well on soda bottles and cans with thick lids, making it more versatile than most other can openers we tested. The can opener is easy to use. It comes with two interchangeable cutting discs, while a slot at the end of the handle lets you attach a bottle opener. The can opener features a large turn knob, which is comfortable to hold. The handle is thick and ergonomic, and it comes with a pair of non-slip hand grips. The can opener comes with a few tools, including two replacement cutting discs, a bottle opener, and a soft-grip scraper. The can opener also comes with a manufacturer's warranty, which is a nice touch.

We like the Zulay Kitchen Smooth Edge Can Opener for its convenient single handle mechanism, smooth-edge lid, and built-in bottle opener. It opens cans quickly and easily, and leaves a nice smooth edge for re-sealing. The built-in bottle opener is a bonus feature, and we love that it's built into the can opener itself, rather than a separate unit. The smooth-edge lid also helps prevent cuts, and the can opener is small enough to fit easily into a kitchen drawer or pantry. The can opener is relatively quiet, and it's lightweight, so it's comfortable to hold and maneuver. It opens cans quickly and cleanly, and it's made of stainless steel, so it's also durable. The can opener also has a built-in bottle opener, so it's perfect for opening beer bottles. Overall, the Zulay Kitchen Smooth Edge can opener is a good choice for a can opener.
