Centro Safety Can Opener

I couldn't believe this would actually work when I looked at it in the shop, and wanted reassurance from the staff that I could bring it back. All I can say is that it's amazing. It is so easy to use I didn't think I was doing it properly and was surprised when the top of the can came off so easily. I love the fact that it's small but easy to hold and better looking than all of the others around. I also love that it takes off the top of the can like a lid, so you can easily replace it without there being any sharp edges. I am finding myself opening cans I don't need to use, just to check that it really is that easy. Amazing.

I liked the look of this product when I saw it in the catalogue, having never found a can opener I was really happy with. Then I read the one poor review and nearly didnt buy it but was persuaded to give it a try by Lakeland, and I'm so glad I did. It's great to use and even opens tins of condensed milk which my previous one did not.

Most of the other can openers available from Lakeland had very complicated looking mechanisms which would not be easily cleaned (especially as none of them were dishwasher safe). This one looked really simple, and neat. I wasn't convinced that something with such a unique look and design would work - but it does, brilliantly. Once the lid is off, the cut edge of the can is really safe, as is the lid.

Not a good item - it will only open a select few tins, and doesn't touch others. Not the sort of product I expected from Lakeland, who I normal trust for quality items.

When this tin opener works its great but I have tried to open some cans and all it does is bend the metal therefore making it impossible to use a different tin opener. I would not recommend it. Theres no way of knowing which cans will work and which will be bent.
