Swing-A-Way Abrelatas compacto (rojo)

This did not work at all. The handle could not turn. The blades didn’t turn.

Sorry to say but this can opener is junk!I got out two cans of tuna today to make tuna salad. Was able to open the first can although I could feel the opener skipping. Grabbed the second can and my surprise, the can opener stop working after making a 1/4 slit in the can. Thanks goodness I had not gotten rid of my 50 year old American made Swing-A-Way, without out it there would be no tuna salad for sandwiches!The difference in product quality is amazing….the old opener actually has gears that make the opener work!STAY AWAY FROM THIS “MADE IN CHINA” pick of junk!

These can openers are great. They work well. My family has used them for three generations.

Perhaps my fault--I did not measure my current can opener, and I expected this one, since it looks the same, to be the same size--it is smaller, thus slightly more difficult to use. But it is very sturdy and the soft-covered handles are a plus.

Not sure it will last. The turn handle wobbles. Disappointed. My other "Swing away" has lasted for many, many years and is like new. Can't believe this is the same company. This item was for a holiday condo. I think I should get a spare from another source.

Quality is just not there, like to older ones. This one is yo light Weight. It’s no different than cheaper ones

I grew up using my mom's can opener that always worked, my whole life, and never knew what a treasure it was. Over my many years of adult life I have ran into one bad can opener after another that works for a while and then starts slipping or some other problem. I've tried electric and manual, expensive and dirt cheap and they all did the same thing.Finally someone recommended a Swing-Away and I got one as a last ditch effort. Come to find out, it's the brand I grew up with and iT WORKS!!!I'm ridiculously excited!!!GET THIS CAN OPENER!!!:)

Over the last 20 years I have owned 2 Swing Away openers and the second one is still going strong! I actually purchased this one for my daughter as a gift - her more expensive brand opener didn't last. I did notice that this one is not as substantial as the two I have owned but am hopeful it will live up to it's reputation!
