Rival you should be ashamed Apr 05, 2008 It was very difficult to pierce cans from the first usage. After I used it six times it stopped working altogether. cans if not dropped did not rotate although motor was running. Not a good product and certainly not up to Rivals reputation.

Did not receive the opener pictured Jan 13, 2008 The can opener we received was not the one pictured. The one pictured is an old time dependable standard. The one we received was Rival's modern version which seems to work for only certain size cans. Although it does have the double circular cutters. This far outperforms the cutters from other companies which have a combination of a punturing element with the rotary cutter. The problem with those is it is extremely difficult to get most cans moving around into that puncturing blade. The double circular cutters work much better.
We would really have preferred the one pictured. We have had one for years and have never had any difficulties with it. Not only are the double circular blades dependable but also the bar on top gives much more leverage than the small rounded top of the one we received.

Rival Can Opener Oct 20, 2007 I would advise anyone not to buy this can opener because, it will not open cans as easy as it says it will. It does not pierce the cans.

Disappointed Aug 02, 2005 I bought this can opener because of the knife sharpener that it came with...Very disappointed with the knife sharpener and can opener. It is very difficult to open a can and the knife sharpener is not all it said it was.

Worst can opener I've used Feb 06, 2005 This can opener was poorly designed. The cutting mechanism has to be attached to the can opener which is okay because it allows you to remove it for cleaning but there's nothing to lock it in place so it tends to slide out of the housing. Also the small rod that sticks out beside the cutting wheel makes it almost impossible to open anything larger than a small can of soup. Once you get the can in place it takes almost all your upper body weight to press down on the lever and get the cutting wheel to pierce the can. If you're lucky the can will rotate all the way around. Most of the time though it will rotate about an inch and then fall off.
