This can opener is different than any other that I have used.  It is easy to operate and opens with ease.  I love how the lid locks and prevents it from falling back inside the can.  Once you open the can you press the red button to release it from the can and the lid comes right off.  I find this to be a great asset to my family as I have always hated when the lids don't come completely off or fall back inside the can.
