[Amazon.ca] Starfrit Securimax Auto Can Opener (45% off) - $9.97

This Starfrit 093008 Securimax Auto Can Opener in Grey is at its lowest price to date on Amazon: $9.97. Note: this is an Amazon.ca "Add-on" item, meaning to get free shipping your cart must have at least $25 before checkout even for Prime users.

This can opener is widely reviewed as one of the best can openers on the market, even compared to electric openers. My family replaced our electric opener with this one years back and have been very satisfied. This opens a can by gripping it from the top, not the side. Doing so allows it to take the top and top edges of the can off, leaving no sharp edges to deal with like a traditional opener. Because of this you can even put the lid back on and it'll somewhat seal again for storage in the fridge (for a limited time). See the video below for an example in use.

Only downside of these is the lid doesn't fit inside to drain the items such as tuna / legumes, other than that a great can opener.

I had this can opening a long time ago and I hated it. I may have gotten a defective one but it wouldn't open anything. It couldn't clamp on and you can't adjust that aspect of it at all.

IMO, the MightiCan and Little Beaver are much better can openers. Even if you got a Securimax that worked perfectly as intended, the removal of the top comes naturally on the MightiCan and Little Beaver, while the Securimax is awkward and more work with the gripper. The MightiCan and Little Beaver just hold the top of the can to the can opener after you finish a full cut, and you release it by opening the handles.

While the lid doesn't fit inside, its still easy to drain liquids by holding the lid with a finger and holding upside down at an angle... the lack of sharp edges makes it pretty simple and safe to do so. I agree with you when it comes to tuna and the like where you may want to squeeze the juice out of something more than drain it, however.

You must have gotten a defective unit as we haven't had any issues opening anything with ours for the couple years we've had one. With my early onset arthritis this Securimax (who comes up with these over the top branding names!?) makes opening cans easy as it does the gripping I sometimes cannot. I had a MightiCan before and it was too hard to squeeze some days. I'd highly recommend the Securimax for anyone, but even more so for those with hand issues and definately children.

I have a similar starfrit can opener. To drain tuna, I simply press one half of the lid down into the can, then rotate 180 degrees and press down into the opposite side. I'm always able to drain it dry using this method.

Why do they call it an AUTO can opener? I was expecting something that was battery operated and you press a button to remove the lid. This is pretty much like other handheld openers where you turn the knob to open a can.

Decent product but the AUTO label is misleading.
