Expensive but I wanted good quality and safety above all else, OXO is all of that
This new one replaced my old OXO I've had for around 20 years and it opened cans and left no sharp edges on either lid or can and lasted almost 2 decades. Shoot, I've got grandkids that have never used an old school can opener because of my fantastic OXO!
Do I think my new one will live up to that kind of quality? No, of course not and knew that when I ordered it but if it was half as good as my old one, then it would be great!
Needless to say, I've already nicked myself slightly on the tiniest metal shaving on an opened edge and it was NOTHING compared to what could have happened with the Dollar Store can opener I had to buy and use while waiting for my new OXO. For at least a week I was terrified I'd forget that can lids are as sharp and deadly as ninja stars and I'd end up slitting my wrists cooking dinner. I was SO worried, I wouldn't let anyone else in the house use the Dollar Store opener for fear we'd end up in the emergency room!
