I had been given another brand of can opener for my birthday and it didn't work. I brought it back to the store and after searching for another brand I decided on this MIGHTICAN. I have trouble using a regular can opener and this machine does me wonders. I absolutely love using it, it's very easy and has all the options that I like to use. It's powerful, quick and efficient.  I highly recommend you to try this can opener as you will not be dissappointed!
