Customer Review: Not a jack of all trades, but a master of one.
Summary: 5 Stars
Where's my Ipod plug in?
Far too often today's machines are called upon to offer much more than the single purpose originally desired. Usually, as with all overly-ambitious attempts at designing these multi-tasking devices, compromises are made. Now, unless you missed Communications Skills 101, you know a compromise is a lose-lose solution, not a win-win, as both parties agree to give up something in order to reach an agreement. Whether man or machine, this canon perseveres despit our developing a tendency to hedge our every bet.
Old school is sometimes still the best school.
Unfortunately, this discovery is often made only after we've burned down the old one and replaced it with a "new and improved" version. Some consumers just refuse to catch on that "new and improved" is "advertiser speak" for "You NEED to buy a new one. Yours is OLD [beside, we've already spent all the money you paid us for that one]". I never cared for John B. Watson and I doubt he cared about anything but himself.
Sometimes, you just have to let go.
To the poster that claims cans must be supported, perhaps they lacked the courage or faith necessary to discover that this appliance is perfectly capable of holding substantial cans without assistance. Just place the can position, press down on the lever once and release, the motor and cutter do exactly what these were intended to do without complaint--all but the oddest of shaped tins--then safely stops when the lid is completely sliced through, and the can to sit there locked in place patiently waiting for you to lift the lever and release the now perfectly opened can. The lid is held in place by a magnet which is attached to the lever assembly avoiding any cross-contamination.
Breaking up is *not* hard to do.
Cleaning is a breeze as a handy unobtrusive lever releases the entire one-piece cutter assembly and exposes any nasties in those previously hard-to-get-to places. Perfection in simplicity; a previous tenet abandoned long ago. Definately old school and definately the quality and simplicity today's products increasingly lack.
