Works OK after you read the instructions. Hard to get the lid off after can has been opened.

not good...

Such high hopes, dashed -- I really expected this to be the can opener that worked well and lasted...
It worked fairly well at first, but any can that was even the slightest bit out of round gave it problems, and eventually, it just didn't work well at all -- I just got back from the store mid-chili recipe, because it wouldn't work at all on a can of beans, no matter how many times I went around and around that lip...

just right
rating: 5
We had a cheap safe-edge can opener that was a pain to use every time (wouldn't "grab" the can, would come loose halfway around, etc.). Finally we replaced it with the Zyliss. It isn't intuitive, in that it's different from any other can opener on the market, but hubby and I found it easy to use after the first 2-3 times. We haven't been disappointed by any Zyliss products.

Easy to Use - Once You Get The Hang of It

This opener uncrimps the lid and separates it from the can whereas most can openers either cut the lid or the side of the can.
The instructions aren't very good but after using it several times (don't give up) it works great.

A Better Mouse Trap
rating: 5
As others have mentioned, this Zyliss can opener works in a completely different way than the traditional ones. If it bothers you to have to figure out and change how you do things, as is my wife, you don't want this. However, if you're interested in design and looking for a better opener, this is a great choice. I'll repeat what others have said but with a little different wording and description. I would say that the mechanism pries the entire lid off in the reverse of how it was put on. You lift the lid off intact, separated from the body of the can. The opener doesn't touch the food and there are no sharp edges. While it is dishwasher safe, this opener stays clean. Traditional openers cut through part of the can's top, leaving the lid's edge in place, whereas the Zyliss just takes off the whole lid.
Design and build are excellent: nice weight, good grips and easy to turn. I can't imagine that there is anything to wear out for many years.
