 Seems Great. Easier to use than others. Oct 03, 2009
By Video Viewer
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2SU1EMMXRZ1R3 I used to have a green and white Krups Open Master that opened cans in a simailar way. It was thrown out during a kitchen remodel and was later discontinued. I never liked the replacement can openers because the dirty can lid and cutting blade would sink into the food and contaminate it and just make a mess.
I just received the Hamilton Beach can opener a few minutes ago, but this 76606 works as well or better than the old Krups so far.
I'm not sure why this isn't the way all can openers work. I don't see the point of can openers that work the old fashioned way.
The video speaks for itself.

UNLIKE MANY CANOPENERS, THE BLADE DOESN'T TOUCH THE FOOD Feb 21, 2008
By John Boland
"John Boland"
I loved my Krups Open Master 404 until it stopped working recently. I found that The Krups, which had NO BLADE that touched the food so as to leave food on the blade as with most canopeners, is no longer made or avaialbe except on ebay. So, I started looking to see what is now available. I tried some other brands. These "other brands" had the typical "blade" that cut into the top of the can and the blade TOUCHED the food inside the can. Thus, food was left ON the blade. To me, after using the Krups for 7 years, this was/is VERY unsanitary---having part of the juice or syrup of the food left to dry out and collect germs on the blade. The only way to avoid having food left on the "cutting blade" of most canopeners is to wash the blade EVERY time you open a can. This isn't difficult, but it takes a minute or two which seems like a lot of effort when you're trying to fix a meal for yourself or your family. Enter the Hamilton Beach 76606. THIS ONE DOES NOT GET ANY FOOD ON ANY BLADE. In fact, I didn't SEE any blade on it that touches the food! So, it's as good, or almost as good, as my old Krups. Praise the Lord! :o) boland7214@aol.

Hamilton Beach can opener Oct 31, 2007
By Robert Peters
This is undoubtably the best electric can opener ever made. It cuts the lid along the side of the can under the beaded lip. It does a perfect job,it is quiet, and does not leave any metal shavings. It will also cut the lids that have pull ring tabs. This saves your fingers. I give this opener a 5 star score.

 Great....but! Apr 16, 2010
By Robert Bogash
"rbogash2"
Everything written about this can opener on this site is true - except!
I bought the unit after a lot of research and all the positive reviews. And they were all true - excellent unit,....until shortly after the one year warranty expired (isn't that always the way.) Went to open a can - it whirred, spun around, did all the usual stuff - except the can wasn't opened. After a lot of looking and examining, it appeared the piercer/cutter blade was missing - apparently broken off (altho I never found any pieces.)
I called Hamilton Beach - after checking, the lady said there " were no replaceable parts in the unit." So, I've got a paperweight. I asked her what brand she suggested I buy next time around - she said "well, H-B of course." I told her all my previous can openers had lasted 20 years or more and I replaced them just because I got sick of them. I didn't think one year's service with no way to replace the cutter was acceptable, so, despite my admiration of the unit, I'd have to look elsewhere.
Using an estimate of cans opened and the purchase price, I calculate the cost to open each can came out to more than 10 cents/can!

Best can opener I ever purchased STRONG CLEAN CUT Nov 24, 2007
By P Adams
"Patch"
So far I am extremely satisfied with this can opener. It performs extremely well with an effortless clean cut every time. Strong, solid chassie and powerful motor. Appearance is pleasant to the eye. I don't mind leaving this out on the counter for convenience. It cuts on the outside of the can. Lever pulls can into horizontal blade so it can cut both regular and pop top cans.
