Product Description
Opening a can of tuna fish shouldn't be a task approached with fear and trepidation. Unlike most devices, this patented bladeless design eliminates sharp edges and metal shavings, making opening a can a far safer, cleaner procedure. The touch control button allows you to operate the opener with one hand and with all that maneuverability oddly sized or shaped cans present no problem. Additionally this opener cuts the can open from the side as opposed to from the top, keeping both the cutting blade and metal shavings out of the food within the can, as well as allowing you to replace the metal lid, should you so desire.
Amazon.com Review
The Krups Open Master can opener answers the prayers of those cooks who are sick of struggling with manual can openers. This can opener has a patented bladeless design that uncrimps can lids, rather than cutting them out, so it doesn't leave sharp edges to cut fingers. Also, because the opener doesn't cut into the lid of the can, the opener's blades won't get gummed up and contaminated with old food that has stuck to the cutting edge. The large handle is easy to grip, and the on-off button has raised bumps so that your thumb won't slip. --Julija Gelazis

 Love it April 8, 2008

I love this can opener. This is the 2nd one of this style I have had. What I especially like is it opens the can around the outside edge, so it doesn't fall inside the can and the opener doesn't get dirty. Just takes a little practice to get it lined up right.

We orignally bought the Krups based on a friend's recommendation but we must've gotten a lemon! Every time my wife and I try to use this thing we wind up getting mad and having to get the old standby, manual can opener out to finish the job. It will not start cutting 70% of all cans. You will have to stop and restart it numerous times to get it to cut through the lid for the first time and then it usually just grinds. After a few minutes you will have metal shavings all over the rim of the can and then you'll have to throw your can away because it's ruined the lid or the shavings fall inside when you do finally get the lid off. Don't waste your money!!
Caution some cans? January 14, 2006

I purchased a 404, because I had a manual opener that works the same ($12) but I provide the power. Loved it, bought my girl friend one. Two or three months later my girl friends 404 started tearing up the side of the can lip and not opening the can. Mine followed suit a few months later. The cutter seams to have lost it's cutting edge. The only thing that seams to be the problem is steel cans. But that should not break the 404.

I loved it when it worked! Mostly I found it lacking in reliability. Getting it to secure was dificult and it quit working altogether in short order. Never again.
 I'm a little confused January 1, 2006

I decided to read the reviews on the Krups Open Master can opener, just out of curiosity. I'm on my second one, and I've had it for longer than the oldest review on Amazon. It's my second one, bought sometime back in the mid-90's. The first one I owned quit working properly because I broke it, due to carelessness on my part. Even when it didn't work properly, it never left "shavings" in or around the can, and it never "chewed up" the can. The only thing I can think of that might be causing the problems people are writing about is where the unit is made. Mine was made in Mexico. If these newer ones are made in China, perhaps that's the problem.
I purchased one for my son, essentially because he asked for one as a Christmas present after he moved away from home in 1998. The only complaint he has is that his didn't come with the nifty wall holder. If he has any other complaints, I haven't heard them.
In all, I'm like a lot of the people here, I feel that it's the finest can opener made, and whole-heartedly give it my approval.
