Can it be opened with one hand?

Yes you can open with one hand, and the smell is contained as long as its not overflowing and has a slight gap. I am very happy with it. The lid can be removed for cleaning and emptying the compost.

Absolutely! It is one of my favorite things about it (that and the cleaning which is so much easier than my previous stainless one, though I still miss the aesthetics a little bit). Even better than being one handed, it raises up with ease with just the side of your hand that is already clutching waste on it's way in. It's function is unsurpassed (imho).

It is not designed to be opened. With the right tools it may be possible to open and reassemble.

Hey there,Yes, I can. I usually use my thumb to swivel the top open or hold it against something & use my other hand to swivel it open. Hope this helps.

It is possible to open it with one hand because the action will loosen over time.I wouldn't replace it, i'm a knife enthusiast and I've never been more happy with a large folder

Although this knife can be opened one handed it is somewhat difficult. Hardly a one handed opening system in the true sense.

You need both hands to initiate the fold (there are finger triggers on each handle) but once they have been pressed you can complete the fold one handed and opening is possible one handed... Hope this helps

I too cannot use my right hand and wondered if this opener is a good choice for single handed users.

No that is not light as I expect u can not hold with one hand and also can not open with one hand.

No Sir it can not. I like this feature for safety. You can close it with one hand easily once you get use to it.

Yes. I've opened smaller and "normal" sized jars single handedly. Large jars would likely be difficult with one hand.

Yes you only need one hand. All you do is place it on top of the can and push the button. The opener will do the rest.

If you only have the use of one hand, you will really like this set. I have not tried to do it, but you should be able to open each unit without taking it off the base. The base will hold the bottom in place while you twist off the top. Then you can fill and put the top on, all with one hand. You will be very happy with this purchase.

It's a tiny latch that slides to the right. You could do it one handed but it might be difficult to get ahold of if you have big fingers.

It would depend on the size of the item to be opened I would think. If you can hold the item in one hand you probably could.

I can open mine one handed. I carry it in a back or front pocket of jeans can also slide the case in & out of my pocket easily with one hand.

The gate can be opened one handed, but you need to push a lever and pull up at the same time. My father in law is elderly and has had a few surgeries on his wrist and was able to open it no problem (after being shown how to use it lol) We absolutely love this gate. Hope this helps.
