Types
of Can Openers
There are several different types
of can openers, and while they all open cans,
some are better suited to the user’s requirement
than others. The follow list of types of can
openers can help consumers find the best can
openers for their needs.
• Electric Can Openers: No
mystery here, they run on an electric motor
and come in both corded and cordless/rechargeable
varieties.
• Manual Can Openers: Operated
with elbow (or maybe wrist?) grease by turning
a small hand crank.
• Table Top Can Openers: These
stand-alone models are most effective when they’re
tall enough to handle a variety of cans.
• Under the Cabinet Can Openers:
Attaching these can openers under a cabinet
or counter is a great way to save space.
• Hand Held Can Openers: These
small, portable can openers are usually manual,
but plenty of electric models do exist and are
usually cordless.
• Bladeless Can Openers: Instead
of cutting the lid with a serrated blade these
models uncrimp the metal edge of the can, which
is safer and less messy.
