Will it open the institutional sized cans? How tall is it?

do not buy this! the magnet fell off the first day used it and the cans (even small ones) open unevenly. spend a few more dollars and buy a better opener.

I am not sure what size an institutional sized can is. The largest can I have is a 40 oz (2lbs) can of yams. It fits just fine. The can opener from the lever where the cutting mechanism is to the bottom of the can opener is about 7-1/2". If you put the can opener on something up higher, it should be able to fit a can that is taller. I guess it would work on a can that had a much wider diameter. There are no parts to get in the way of such a can. I would think you might have to support the can because I don't know how strong the magnet is to hold it up. I hope that helps you with your decision. : )

It will open cans 7-1/2" tall. It could open taller cans if it is set on something. I don't know about the weight of the can.

it can open a can that is 8 to 9 inches tall, not as easy as a smaller size can, this can can hold up to 3 pounds of food, maybe with a book under the can opener will make it a little easier. institutional size can is also know as a #10 can

This opener stands 9 inches tall and the opener device is right under the top so it would open a can that fits under 9 inches.

No -- it didn't open any cans. On the basis of the product we received I would not stock this item.

Yes! It will open the institutional size can with some adjusting, it is only 8-1/2 inches tall.

I measured it and looks like you can open a can 7 3/8" tall. That is from the counter to the base of the magnet. You may be able to put it on something stable to make it taller.

If you are speaking about the big cans yes that's the reason why I brought it. I would not use it to open cans that need to be drained like tuna because the can opens from the side.

Yes, but it will be a little large for the cans. Still it is the size we use as there is nothing smaller that is tall enough. Hope that helps.

It will if it has a lid. You will have to decide what sizes it holds as it is primarily made to hold 12 oz cans.

The smallest I've tried is 7/8 inch diameter, largest is 4 1/2 inch diameter. It might open a 5 inch jar, but I would not try anything larger.

A standard 12 oz can will fit but the can is shorter than the holder is tall.

Yes, this opener has enough clearance for a 32 oz can and has opened every can I have put to it so far but please remember that cans come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Mine is adjusted for 12 oz. cans. Approx. 5 5/8" wide, 12 1/2" long(deep) 7 1/8" tall.

Hi Nikolas, It will open regular and vacuum-style screw top jars with lid diameters of from 1.3" to about 4" , hope this helps!

The opener works fine on large cans as long as there is sufficient vertical clearance. For an especially tall can you may need to position the opener close to the counter edge.

Probably. I have only used it on regular sized cans, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The bottom two shelves have an opening in the back but it's too small for a regular 13 - 15 oz can. The smaller 5 oz cans will fit though.

Its about 7.5 inches to a little over 8.5"I open large cans like tomato juice and 7 inch high cans of college inn broth with no trouble. I am very satisfied.

yes...size of can would not matter....after you complete a revolution of the opener you might not think the can opened...there is no distinct click...plus this opener cuts right under the lid, not thru it...so just work the lid a little after and you'll find it opens cans 'different'...but very nice

yes it will you will have to turn the handle toward the open. it will work find. I love mine.

I do not think the opening would be large enough. You could simply lift the lid like a normal trash can if you are buying it for its odor control properties.
