I HATE THIS CAN OPENER!!! I can get the can started, but hard as I may try to press, and I am very strong, the blade ceases to cut 2-3 times while going around the can. Then I cannot get it started again to try to open wide enough to spill the food out of the can. I have to bend the lid of the can with a dinner knife to get food out, and it is risky as it is so easy to slice a finger on the lid.I have no problem at all with a $4 opener from the grocery store!!!
