The Hamilton Beach SureCut can opener is lightweight, functional, and easy to use. My family uses it for dog food, soup cans, as well as other various food cans at it has opened them all on the first time with ease. We unboxed it together and it took my ten year old about one minute to understand the magnet that connects to the top of the can but once we figured that out, we were off to the races. We have now had the can opener for about a month and it certainly lived up to our expectations and desires for what we wanted in a can opener.
