Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Swing Away Wall Can Opener
Customer Review: NOW WE KNOW WHERE OUR ESSENTIAL KITCHEN APPLIANCE IS WHEN WE NEED IT! -- ATTACHED TO THE KITCHEN WALL!
Summary: 5 Stars
IN A NUTSHELL: NOW WE KNOW WHERE OUR ESSENTIAL CAN OPENER IS WHEN WE NEED IT!
We just had to get one of these wall mounts because with everyone using the handheld model we've had for years it has had a tendency to become missing in action at the worst possible moments. In essence, we use this wall mounted model in much the same way that a bank uses pens with chains attached. Now we always know where our essential little appliance is at all times, especially when it is needed.
EVERYTHING GOOD YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS CAN OPENER IS INVARIABLY TRUE!!
As can openers go - there are none better, but the fact that these are available for around $10. and last literally forever seems too good to be true. Nevertheless, it is true. Like many other people, we have tried a lot of different can openers, some electric some hand held, but we always come back to the one that has always been in our kitchen -- 'SWING-A-WAY'.
WHAT MAKES THE 'SWING-A-WAY CAN OPENER' SUPERIOR TO OTHER CAN OPENERS?
3 components contribute synergistically to Swing-A-Way's success;
1]- Very durable Tempered Steel gears with a cutting edge that stays sharp literally forever.
2]- Ample leverage provided by a large chrome-plated steel turn-key to assure enough torque into the gears to open any can simply by hand turning.
3]- Plastic coated Steel handles that facilitate penetration of the can by the cutting edges with just ordinary hand pressure.
WHY ARE THESE LONG LASTING SUPER CAN OPENERS SO INEXPENSIVE?
With only several moving parts made of easily manufactured components that are sold on a huge scale worldwide, it costs very little to make this product despite its excellence.
With this mounted on your wall you can always feel secure in the knowledge that your perfect can opener will always be right where you expect and need it to be!
[I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY PRODUCT OR COMPANY BUT WE HAVE USED 'SWING-A-WAY' LITERALLY FOREVER WITH UNIFORMLY EXCELLENT RESULTS]
Customer Review: best can opener ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've gone through half a dozen can openers in just a few years, and then just as I was despairing that I would never find a decent one that didn't take up a ridiculous amount of space I remembered the wall-mounted Swing-Away that hung for decades on my great-grandmother's wall. I was thrilled to find that they're not only still available, but still inexpensive. I love that it "swings away" (thus the name!) to lie flat against the wall when it's not needed. The pull-down lever secures the can and the crank handle operates very easily, so the whole opening process feels secure and can contents don't slop. I can make "ten can soup" without feeling like my hands are going to break off or like the can opener's going to fall apart! I give these as housewarming gifts now. As others have pointed out, they do need a sturdy mounting point, like a solid wood cabinet or a wall stud (you may need to substitute longer screws than are provided). I'm confident that mine will last for decades just like Great-Grandma's.Customer Review: Can't get it in stores
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree that this is the best can opener in the world. My family had one when we were growing up in the 1950s. When I bought my first house I bought one in the store. For my second house I had to have a relative buy one locally and mail it to me since I couldn't find it in any store. Now I'm moving into a third house and... you guessed it... no store seems to carry ANY wall-mounted manual can opener. And this is southern California, a huge market where supposedly you can find anything for sale... somewhere.
Yet when I Googled Swing A Way can opener it gave me the Amazon.com page where -- obviously -- it is still available. Sold! What could be better than buying a proven product from a proven store??
PS: I'm guessing that stores don't stock this item because it never wears out. So sales seem to be slow... and they drop it.
Customer Review: I wish everything was this effective and easy to use!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm 61 years old and have owned many various brands and sizes of electric can openers. Folks...I can't say enough about this can opener. This is the most effective, easy to use can opener I've ever owned. I spent weeks researching bulky, space wasting, electric and manual can openers before finally taking the chance on the Swing Away. If this is not the absolute best, easiest to use can opener you've ever owned then you just aren't using it correctly. I can now open cans easier and faster than ever before and this unit is a breeze to clean. Buy this unit, mount it correctly, read the instructions and you will never buy any other brand period. Thanks Swing Away...finally, a true value for a very cheap price!Customer Review: Best Can Opener in the World!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
FORGET ABOUT SPENDING MONEY ON AN ELECTRIC CAN OPENER! This is the best can opener any one can own. We inherited ours when we bought our house in 1991. It was attached to a kitchen cabinet. I had never seen anything like it. Twelve years later it's the one appliance we haven't had to replace! Since our house was built in 1960, I am assuming that this can opener could possibly be forty years old!It folds flat against the wall/cabinet when not in use. It swings out for easy access. A series and grooves and teeth lock it into several positions. It is sturdy and easily opens even dented cans. My kids love using it also. It comes apart for easy cleaning. Forget five stars, this opener deserves 20 stars!
