Hi everyone,
Ive just gone to open a can of beans and my can opener has stopped working... again :-( seem to have them a short while then they pack up.
Can anyone recommend a brilliant can opener that will last me a few years please?

    We just bought a cheapo from ASDA about 5 years ago and it's working fine still.

    I use an OXO from Lakeland. It is very good.

    Ive tried several different kinds over the years, will get a couple of cheapy ones so at least i will have a spare, thanks for all replies x
  • I have a magican and I wouldn't be without it. It's one of the standard ones, not the fancy models. Think it cost about £8 and I've had it for a decade. Works on small tomato puree tins and those jumbo extra thick cash and carry ones. Best bit? When you lift it up the chopped-off lid comes with it. No super sharp edges, no fishing the lid out of the can and the lid just gets rinsed and ejected into the recycling.

    I have a Brabantia one, I've had it for about 20 years, it's still going strong and it very comfortable to use.

    We also have an OXO one, bought it from Fenwick. I think they have a guarantee with then, so keep the receipt, then just take it back if it does break. Had ours for over a year with no problems. x
    I must remember that "Money Saving" is not buying heavily discounted items that I do not need. :hello:
