After reading reviews I decided to purchase this opener instead of the One-Touch. Apparently they both have the same problem - they EAT batteries. This one opened 3 cans before stopping. And once it does stop it is virutally impossible to dislodge it from the lid of the can without prying it. After doing that, we tried again with new batteries. It made it through one can and died through a second. A piece of junk! I expected more from Sharper Image.
