I have not had an electric can opener in a very long time. So I was excited about this. When I removed it from the box I noticed  the sleek modern look it has. I was very eager to use this  and this is very easy to use. I love that it opens the cans the first time and I was not having to try a second time to open it. I was a little hesitant the first time I used this to not hold on to the can being that this is a hands free can opener. It is very quiet when using it. I did not hold on to the can and the can opener  shut  off when it was done , and allow me to do something else while the can was opening. The cord storage is a plus I have limited counter space so it is great feature. I love the Open Mate Multi-Tool especially how it fits in the back making it convenient to find when I need this. I am very happy with this and recommend this can opener.
