5 Hands-Free Can Openers Compared! 

"All these can openers have a smooth..." 😂😂😂 Sorry I laughed when you cut yourself.

Never been so eager to click a can opener-related notification.

I'm not interested in buying half of the stuff I watch you review. I just enjoy watching you review things. 😂😊

Great review man, are you able to file for workers comp. on that injury? We are all wishing you a speedy recovery 😂

Thank you for reviewing these. I have MS and its getting harder and harder for me to use a regular can opener

Looks like you’re having tuna green beans and jalapeño burritos tonight. 😂

I really love that you repeated the test with the same 4 type of cans as with the manual can openers. You have the heart of a true scientist.

Thank you for spending $100+ (when you include for batteries) on automatic can openers - plus however much you spent on the manual ones - to bring us these great reviews. Not to mention now much you've spent on other products!!

I wonder how your family dinner goes "What are we eating dad?" "we still have 2 cans of beans" "we ate beans for 2 days straight dad" "well have tuna tomorrow....til sunday"

This man just spent his afternoon watching robots loudly open cans 😂

When I'm thinking about buying something, a lot of the time I search your videos first. So incredibly helpful. Thanks.

But we do want a 45 min video of cans being opened lol

I have used a few of these over the years. My experience is that typically the 4 battery models outlast the 2 battery models. All of them eat batteries if you use them much. Sometimes the jittering and odd noises have to do more with the crimping of the lid than the opener. I finally gave up and bought a Hamilton Beach Smooth Cut countertop A/C model that I’ve had 7 or 8 years. I am much happier! It is much faster and never stalls. I got really tired of the battery models quitting halfway through a can only to find I was out of batteries. This presents a real problem. When the batteries die, the cutter and gear remain engaged to the can and you cannot remove the opener from the can. If the battery door is on the bottom, its removal is blocked by the lid of the can. You must destroy it to get it off. Most of the time, that also bends the top of the can so you can’t completely cut the lid with another opener. The Hamilton Beach is $35 at BB&B before coupons. I think I paid about the same at Walmart years ago. Love your videos and Bailey!

I'm not even in the market for a can opener but I just spent 16 minutes watching five different can openers

The irony of this video is you could have used the manual can opener to open the blister packs. I do it all the time. Love the videos and I love the fact you included Bailey in the background. 🙂

have had a tornado for about a year it needs batteries about once every two months. it does struggle more with very large cans but with my arthritis it helps. large standard can openers you sometimes have to hold the can up while the can turns and makes my hands hurt so these are great if your disabled.

I’ve been wanting to purchase one of these for some time, but was unsure on what to purchase. You have helped me so much, thank you! Love your videos and love Bailey!! Keep up the good work! 😃

For some reason I could watch James review just about anything. I would never buy 3/4 of the things he reviews but, damn the way he does these reviews is so entertaining

Please show a comparison of how difficult it is to remove the lid from the opener when the batteries die half way through opening a can. I've bought 2 openers, and both are a nightmare when the batteries die, because the access door is located on the bottom. Thank you you doing these reviews and posting the videos. 💜

We live in times where you are shocked if products are actually capable of their intended purpose...

i would like to see how they work on a number 10 can

Thank you for this review. My mother broke her arm and I like to look around at products that can make the kitchen easier for her. This was helpful

You need to include a criteria that I always use: Name coolness factor.

It's 4 am here and I'm watching a man opening cans

It would be interesting to see how they all hold up over time.

Thanks for the efforts on this review! Me, As long as I got any wrist and grip strenght left, I will use my tried and true manual Kitchen Aid! Had a standard electric one, but it generated lots of metal bits as it was opening the can, and was difficult to take apart to clean, so we tossed it for the manual machine.

I like my manual can opener. Fast, accurate, no batteries, and gets tossed in a drawer when done.

I have one of the cheapo $10 ones that I actually got for $5 and it works great. I've had it for a couple of years and still going strong. I think I replaced the batteries once. A bit of arthritis makes a regular twist opener hard to use so I'm very pleased with it.

Thank you for the 5 hands-free can openers compared. I am curious how long the blades last before they become dull? Thank you for the comparison. It was informative and entertaining

The Hamilton Beach Open Station includes a cutter for those plastic packages, can opener, twist bottle opener, bottle opener, and jar opener.

I feel like durability would be a huge factor with these. I wonder how they hold up to continuous use?

Great timing. I've been thinking about getting one of these. I struggle with tuna cans, or any short can really.

Sweet! I love these comparison videos so much 😁

Many years ago I got one of the as seen on tv cheap can opener, and I had it for many years and I liked it. Looking forward to getting another one.

This will come in handy for $10 great review as always make sure you clean your cut

I injured my right hand last year. For a while I couldn't use a manual can opener at all. Now that it's been over 12 months since I've injured my hand, it's probably about as healed as it'll ever be. And even though I now have the ability to use a manual can opener, it is very difficult and painful. I had really hoped that I would get back 100% use of my hand, but it seems it is not to be. These little hands free battery operated openers would fit the bill for my needs. But I've never used one, so I was happy to see how they work. Thank you

Good review. Wanted to buy one due to a very small kitchen and my electric can opener takes up to much space. Wasn't sure of price or how good they worked so thanks , I will be getting the one you suggested.

I had a Black & Decker Gizmo that worked flawless. It was expensive, but was rechargeable and had a charging station that doubled as holder to mount on the wall or under a cabinet where you could use it for small cans without having to take it out of the charger.

I love your videos and I've learned to watch them before shopping. :) I have an instrecho slightly different than the one you showed and it works great however once you start it, it doesn't like to stop.

Thanks for the reviews. I needed to order one quickly and you made the choice easy!

This has been helpful. We had a black and decker gizmo for years. I loved that thing. A gizmo is 84.00 online. I have been looking for a really good cheaper alternative.

Thanks for the great video review. I would have never thought that the lowest price one would be your top pick but I have to agree with you on that.

Never used these but great review ,in case I ever do.

I have and use the one touch can opener for the past ten years and has always opened every can , magnet always worked. Only uses 2aa batteries highly recommend it. Only wish you'd have included it in this review , but as always James another great review ✌️

Now I know what to buy! Thanks for another great review video

I've got the Toucan opener for several yrs. and i love it.

Sweet. The handi can! Thats the one we already own. Thanks bra!

All these cans have a smooth.... I’m dead laughing. I freakin’ love this channel!

The true bad news is that you have to eat 20 cans of food! LOL Have a fantastic day James.

I've been using one touch as seen on TV for a few years now. Love it, it just struggles on super small cans, which I wish you would have tried. Check out tomato paste cans for like $1 or less, about 1.5 inch round... That should sepparate them.

Great news.......I looked it up. You can Freeze all that food even the tuna.😆😆 or put the tuna out for the neighborhood cats🐈🐈🐈🐱🐱🐈🐺

LOL. My new go-to phrase to use instead of " you made your bed" is " Eat your tuna!"

Great review as always, sir! Looks like something I may need to get for my aunt, she loves to cook but always has problems with timing stuff out and ironically cutting open cans, maybe this can help.

Thank god you uploaded this video, I’ve been binge watching all your reviews

Great review!! Never owned any of these can openers!!

Wow, that’s some crazy casserole you’ll be making with all those cans!

Thanks for the reviews. You ever do Dr. ho's foot circulation promoter and/or other products?

been watching you for 3-4 years, and the finger cut was the funniest thing I have seen on this channel since.... keep up the fun edits, i really appreciate the effort.

I've bought the electric Hamilton Beach can opener, the tall one for large cans. Approximately, once a year I've had to buy a new one and I've been buying it for many years now. The part that holds the magnet the part that is attached to the cutting mechanism looks like it is made of metal but it's not, it's plastic, keeps breaking, presumably from the weight of the can. Not being really aware of any better opener that will accommodate tall cans, I have accepted the cost each year, as the cost of convenience. I looked into the warranty since it has a sticker saying it has a 5 year warranty. It's not worth paying to send it to the company (which is mandatory under the warranty) and to pay for them to send it back if repaired or to pay to have them send a new one (you pay for shipping fees both ways according to the trends of the warranty). These battery operated ones seem convenient but I don't want to keep paying for batteries. And I really don't want to spend the extra money for chargeable batteries. What is really like to find is a can opener that actually has metal parts. If anyone reads this and knows of one, let me know please? Thanks! Good video demonstration!

I'm on my second can opener so far. I don't remember what the first one was but it simply stopped cutting through after a few uses. I have a $20 Farberware now and sometimes needs 2 tries to open the can.

What you do for us is simply amazing.

Really glad there’s this review because I’ve always had issues with can openers and today sliced all 4 fingers on my right hand so it’s time to invest in a hands free one

ty for your great review! I ordered your no. 1 choice and am pleased it came in top of list.

They'll never replace the ol hand crankers. 5 seconds max

I took care of a person for 10 years that had muscular dystrophy and throughout the years I watched him get progressively worse and I never just did things, unless I was asked because it's beyond important to let people do what they can until they can't and I got him one of those toucan can openers and it turned out to be money waisted. I never could find one that he was able to use before he just couldn't (surprising how much we take for granted and I felt I took that simple task from him plus he couldn't open a can if he was alone) but a lot of people put down these products and say they're lazy and useless but they don't realize on these "useless" gadgets could be the fine line on someone's independents

the smooth edge part is that the direct sides are blunted as it cuts below the lip, it is still gonna be sharp but it wont cut ya when you handle it normally. I use the tucan all the time

Glad you finally realized that you do NOT have to hold down the start button. All you have to do is hit it one time and it will work. Watching you drove me nutz lol

The Toocan had a ring pull opener as well. If you need an automatic can opener, then that would help to have on the same gadget.

Your reviews are the best and saved me thousands...your expense but much appreciated sir, keep up the good work!!

Hooray! The value product wins!

Good video. You should do a review on tools which are intended to make plastic clamshell style packaging easier to open. I have some shears which have a unique off-set cutting design which allows them to cut along the edges of the plastic packaging. I’m sure there must be other styles of openers. Thanks for your reviews; I found your channel not too long ago and I have really liked your reviews. You have a great on-screen likeability.

Been looking for a good hands-free can opener for awhile now and now I know which one to buy. Thanks James!!

Can you review the G2T N1 Plus cooling Neck Scarf since your last video was portable cooling tech

Thanks James for saving us the pain of having to choose between these openers. It would be interesting to get an update down the road if you continue using them.

Your demoes are very helpful. Thx

Do your shirt button up next time!..seriously tho,really like your "every day" type of reviews,not as you say scientific,but a good idea of what to expect from a product when you get it home and try it them yourself.I find myself watching reviews of gadgets I know I'll never buy,but find your reviews entertaining none the less.Thanks for your efforts James!

The Instecho - Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looked like it opened cans from the outside, rather than inside? It explains why the juice was dripping outside as well. That sort of can opening has its place, but it's not what is usually intended by the manufacturers or particularly desired by the consumer for that matter.

All those cans... now we know what his meal prep is for the next week 😜

THANK YOU!! I have been wanting a hands-free can opener for months now but didn't know which to buy. NOW I KNOW, thanks to you!! You are a life saver, and a money saver!! Arthritis is no fun. I have cans in my pantry with food that I cannot eat cause I can no longer use my can openers.

So funny! I check-in at the Strat and you upload a video! It's great to be in Vegas!!

Thanks for the review. I wonder how long they will last. Update us in 6 months🙂

did you try any of the pull tab cans? people with arthritis can't open and wondering if the electric openers can be used on the type of can

Very helpful thank you

me: I would never spend money on a hands free can opener also me: buttttt I would like to know which is the best one on the market so... *click*

I purchased an original 'One Touch' can opener back around 2007 and it worked great for over 10 years. I paid $5 for it and it was the best can opener I've ever owned.

Just at the unboxing stage, one can tell the Instecho is either going to be the best or the worst, because it doesn't have a pun in its name.

How did those times compare to the time it would take to open those same cans with the best of the manual can openers you previously reviewed? I used to own countertop electric can openers many years ago, but long since switched to manual can openers with comfy handles (love the Oxo Good Grips!). I suppose if my hand strength were to decrease substantially, a hands-free can opener would make sense for me, but it doesn't yet.

Just wondering what did you cook with all them canned food items? And when you did the egg test what did you make with those 220-30+eggs?

let us know where the product comes from. Great , informative , enjoy your work.

Great video as always I just wish they would come out with one like these openers that is rechargeable I used to own one it ate through batteries like nobody's business especially if it's used in a Family household more than three people for single person maybe yes but batteries go out fast

I have used and purchase for friends the Farberare hands free can opener. I had mine for 5 years, very happy until this year! It was running low and we changed the battier but the can opener was caught on a medal can. The lip wouldn't release. So base you next episode on 1. easy batter change 2. how long does it last and 3. once can open how shape is the lid. I watched you video and still couldn't decide which one was best for us. Didn't like that the one we had last 6 years, and its a Walmart product not sold everywhere. There are some good reviews on You Tube. thanks for doing this video.

I like the violent stop. Like....crunch.......scrape...........RIP.....BANG!!!! DINNER TIME!!!

I bought mine new in package from the thrift store. I really love it but it doesn’t open tiny tomato paste cans. There is a size limit to them so you still need a regular one too. I tend to have the worst luck with regular hand held can openers; they tend to break or misalign too quickly no mater brand or price. These handfree kind can jam with the paper label or “crash” and stop when not aligned but they’re fairly easy to reset. I definitely recommend having one.

we had two of these but none in the review, first one was One Touch brand and second was Black and Decker's Gizmo

Your so sweet 🍬🍬🍬when you said you bought all those do we know which is the best one...💞thank you

I have the tornado can opener and it works really great

Thanks for the video and review nice one.

We live in a time where watching someone opening cans with cans openers entertaining.. that cut thought made me laugh my guts out . Perfect timing .

The consideration I was watching, was the time it took to open cans of the same size. I think Handy Can was one of the fastest. I can use a manual one a lot quicker but of course can’t make lid edges smooth.

i got the toucan before i even watched this video and i was happy for few years till the knife part got so dull and it stopped cutting the lids after 2 years not sure if i can replace the knife or not
