This can opener is new to me. It seems to work very well, doing its intended job as planned. So far, so good. However, there is an interesting design issue I discovered after installation. There is a handle on the lever that facilitates up/down movement of the lever for can lid cutting. It also moves the lever fully upward for removal to clean. When the lever handle is in the lid cutting position, all is good. It does a great job. But, the lever handle is long enough that when in the full upward removal position, the cabinet under which the opener is mounted blocks full handle upward movement and removal of the lever. Thus, I cannot remove the lever for cleaning. Unacceptable. However, there are solutions. One is to mount the opener far enough out from the cabinet edge so that the cabinet does not block handle movement. Another is to use all the included spacers to lower the opener down enough so that the handle clears the cabinet. It all depends on your cabinet design. Then there’s the nuclear option, which is to cut off about 1/2″ (13mm) from the end of the handle. That’ll solve the problem the hard way. I choose to use all the included spacers to lower the opener from the cabinet. After re-installation, it is still not lowered quite enough but I can force the handle with a bit of effort. The included mounting bolts are easily long enough to accommodate additional spacers. A project for another day. I can live with this for now. Can. I said “can”. Sometimes I just crack myself up!
