I'd put off purchasing a can opener for a long time before I received this one. I have to say I am quite pleased with the Oster Tall Can Opener. It opens cans easily and without much noise. The can opener, knife sharpener and cord retraction button are all nice extras that will surely come in handy. The stainless steel finish give the can opener a modern look, so I don't mind leaving it on my counter top. This is a great can opener and you won't be disappointed by going with this model. I received this product as a sample to review.
