In my opinion, this is the standard when it comes to manual can openers. These edlund models are tough, durable and the parts are relatively inexpensive, easy to fins and easy to replace.

This Edlund 11100 is a good heavy duty can opener. We've been using it everyday for several years now and still never have any problem. It is easy to remove the cutter and clean it in between uses!!

Why do I order these? They are so expensive and rust very easily. Within a year of buying a new can opener, it rusts. I'm gonna buy the small handheld openers.

Thank you for your review, Desire Gomez! We are sorry this Edlund 11100 Old Reliable® #1® Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base has not worked well for you. We recommend drying this item immediately after washing to avoid rusting.

Replacing a 15 year old one same brand. We love it! Haven’t had a problem with any Edmund product. Would definitely recommend these over the cheaper ones because these last! Cheaper may be good but not for the long time span. However cheapest priced than any other place.

Edlund items are the know for their durability and longevity. We had to replace a 20+ year old can opener and we went right back to Edlund. Can't go wrong with their products.

Old Reliable is a good name for this can opener, easy to install on your prep table and works well. Just spray it down and run it through the dish machine to keep it clean, sanitized and it good working order and it will last you a long time.

The can opener is great functionally. But the finish just doesn’t last and the screws that came with it are junk. Plan on going to the hardware store if you want the install done right.

We've tried many can openers. I would recommend spending the extra money and getting this one. the blade doesnt dull easy and the gear doesnt strip out quickly. It lasts a long time but when the arts do go bad, you can replace individual parts on it and not replace the whole unit.
