Threw it away

Used it 5 times and thought it would loosen up. It didn’t. Very hard to turn and set up on the can. A really bad utensil from a usually good manufacturer. Too bad.

Disappointed

I bought this because we needed a new can opener. It's hard to turn so my wife returned to Dollarama and got a cheap one which works fine. I would occasionally use this one but less than 40 cans. It is hard to turn but I am determined that Paderno should be a good product. Now it just slips and spins and is useless. Don't purchase this product.

COuld not use it as to now, since Christmas!

My wife received this so-called "opener" at Christmas 2023. So far, we tried to use it 5 times, and had to return to our previous opener that we wanted to replace because not functionning properly. Mind you, we could open the cans while the new one did not do the job.
It was bought at Canadian Tire in Laval, but of course, being a Christmas gift, the person who bought it (our son) no longer has the invoice.
I will find out very soon how good the garanty is. But I would definitly not recommend it.
(PS: I do have a Triangle Credit Card from Canadian Tire. For now.)

Total disappointment

Had this can opener for under 3 months and already the spring or whatever is inside has popped out and we've barely used it 10 times.
