Reviews for Choice Food Prep Standard Duty #10 Manual Can Opener with Base

The can opener is useless, the blade doesn't even go down enough to puncture the can...

This is what I got ... already pitted up and rusting! Not very happy!

These can openers are not the best but are a good value for the price you pay. the biggest issue we had with them is that they didn't not come with any mounting hardware.

This can opener works very well. It's got plenty of weight to it. The mounting plate that came with is is adequate. It didn't have any screws included so I did have to pick those up to mount it.

Garbage. First one I thought was perhaps defective. Got a replacement gear/blade set, which only continued to make it be garbage. Ordered a second entire unit, which was also garbage. DO NOT BUY THIS CAN OPENER.

This can opener is awesome it attaches to our stainless steel work table and gets the job done. Love that it is sturdy and and durable.

ive used the one i had for over 12 years. it worked great. i didnt properly maintain the gear assembly so it finally needed to be replaced. it just arrived today and I am very pleased with it. i definitely will know to keep the gears oiled at proper intervals this time. very pleased ! thank you

We have bought 2 of these now for our daycare centers! It’s a life saver for the big number 10 cans! I highly recommend a much better buy than replacing cheap ones! This is a quality product at a great price!. Highly recommended

The Choice Prep Light Duty Manual Can Opener is a fantastic investment for any restaurant, cafe, or store that needs a variety of cans opened. The blade is removable, which makes cleaning super easy. You do have to get a good grip or else it might slip away, but overall it is a great product.

The description says light weight, but this can opener has gone thru thousands of cans with damage at all. You do have to get a good firm grip on it, but it works well.

Went with a lower priced item to save money and the item gets the job done sometimes. The tooth didn’t always grab the can the best and sometimes doesn’t open the can all the way.

Such a piece of crap. Total waste of money. Cheap, poor materials, terrible at opening cans, don't even use it (easier to use hand opener than struggle with this unit).

VERY POOR QUALITY - on FIRST USE was not able to open a #10 can of pineapples. I bought 3 of these for multiple locations and did not even open the other 2 and now trying to return them and they will not accept a return on these items. Huge waste of money! Buy Edlund - they are solid quality and work!

The opener is not doing it work. It is extreme hard to use and build quality is not good. Will need buy the cheap brand again. I had use Vollrath can opener, it still works after yearssss.

Works great. We have it mounted in the concessions trailer It works great on all sizes of cans from the small to the gallon size.

Used this Product for less than 2 weeks, and the gears stopped grabbing the cans. If your using a high amount of cans, I would not suggest this product.

I purchased this unit, installed the base plate and attempted to use it then found out that the bar does not fit into the base. after about a week of emails and sending pictures they sent me a new base plate which then did fit. It worked "ok" for about a couple weeks but not after almost 2 months it hardy grabs the cans and mostly just spreads metal shavings everywhere. i thought because of the good review score it got it wast worth saving the money on getting this cheap unit. I replaced a 2o year old edlund unit cause it was just old and beat up and needed all new parts, Now i wish we kept the old unit do i could rebuild it, i am not purchasing a new can opener.

First one did not cut properly and left metal shreds on the cans and was getting into the food. Websaurant replaced. Second one the gears slip and it does not open cans ealisly. Tried to return and it was past the return time. We are a school district and final return date fell during our holiday and I did not get a chance to request the return prior to the holiday. You get what you pay for.

Don't waste money on this Can opener. We order the first one, did not open #10 cans. Webstaurantstore was nice enough to send us a second one because they said once we used it we could not return it( how could I understand it didn't work properly without using it???). Unfortunately the second one is the same. The gears slip and it fails at the only job it has. It does not open any size cans.

Poor quality. I should have read the reviews more carefully before buying. The design looks similar to others, but I chose it because of the lower price. However, it’s unusable due to its functionality when turning to open canned food. The part that opens the can scrapes against it, causing metal shavings to fall into the food. I had to throw away an entire can of coconut milk. Don’t buy this item.

Love this Choice light duty can opener. Works like a charm opening big #10 cans with ease. Very sturdy and well made. Highly recommend this opener.

Completely useless. I only open one to two cans per day, and we are only open on weekends, so I rarely ever have to use this, but whenever I do I have to repeatedly try to push down and open the can again because midway through the turn it comes off the can. I thought it might have been me, until I tried another one, which worked flawlessly.

The can opener would not go all the way around a #10 can without re-inserting the blade, from it's first use. It gradually got worse, to the point where smaller cans could not be opened with it. I just purchased a replacement gear and blade, but that did not help. Judging from some of the other reviews, I believe there is a manufacturing or design flaw. When the handle is pushed down to turn and open a can, the can is not gripped firmly between the gear and the blade. I purchased it less than 6 months ago. Wasted my money for the purchase of the opener and the replacement gear/blade.

Teeth and threads wore down quickly without much use

it's very nice. just wish it came with the plastic guides.. still very good quality. thank you.

This can opener is useless. Every time it's used, there are metal shavings from the can that can get into the food. Also, it doesn't work too well to open the can.

Had this can opener for less than a year, we open about 3 to 4 cans a day. this can opener stopped working about 4 months ago and since then I have spent more money replacing parts and it still doesn't work. I replaced the gear then which didn't help so then I replaced the blade and that didn't help either. of course it's now out of warranty so I am stuck with this. Never buy this can opener.

This unit is unacceptable for commercial use. Opening a number 10 can takes more effort than using a handheld can opener because you need to reset the blade over and over again. Very poor product.

Opens every can except #10 cans! Will not open #10 cans without making a huge mess. I do not understand why Webstaurant wants me to use so many words to tell you that this is Garbage!

We purchased this item then it sat on the shelf for months before I installed. . It was a mistake to purchase this. Will not grip the cans. 4 of us have tried to utilize this opener so I do not believe it is any type of operator error. I carefully checked to insure parts were aligned. Waste of money. Normally, Choice Prep products work well for us but this one is terrible. Beware>

i purchsed this product few weeks ago. It is very poor quality. It didn't even work at the first time use. Don't buy this product.

Only con to this piece of equipment is the cleanliness. Make sure to clean this after every use. This is a must have piece of kitchen equipment. I highly recommend this product to any and every kitchen.

You have #10 cans, you can't use the store opener, this is what you use. We use this every day and it has not let us down. Its also very easy to clean.

Almost every time I use this can opener the gears "slip" and become disengaged causing you to have to have to puncture the top of the can again and crank the handle to open a can. Sometimes this happens multiple times to open one can.

Used only a few times and the opener does not grip well and leaves shards of thin metal in the food. Safety hazard. Would not recommend at all.Its hard to turn as well.

This can opener did not meet our expectations . This can opener was used minimally (maybe 7 cans/week), it did not last longer than one year.

This is horrible. Even our Executive Chef cannot figure out how to put this thing together to make it actually cut open a can... We've tried YouTube as well... maybe its just the operator but...idk

The first can opener broke the first time we used it. The replacement can opener i received at the end of Sept 2019 broke with very little use shortly after the 90 day warranty window. The knob fell off and we continued to use it until we noticed that metal shavings were falling out of the gear mechanism on top of the cans we were opening. Major hazard! This can opener is inferior quality, I would give it zero stars if it was an option.

If I could give a 0 rating I would. Don't waste your time. Absolute garbage, didn't even get one can opened. I didn't get it installed right away so didn't bother trying to return it.

This manual can opener works well for cans of all sizes. This product works well and is easy to use with little effort, It also does not take up much room and has shown no signs of rust or corroding.
