How long will this last? I keep getting cheap can openers that do not last longer than 10 cans or so.

I bought this for my wife for valentines and it only lasted two weeks. I was disappointed.

I've had one for three months with no problems. It is well made, locks in place, and opens bent cans. Thus far, I'm satisfied.

The can opener works really well. Unfortunately my son somehow popped the red insert out and i don't know how to get it back in. That being said, the can opener itself still works fine.

Mine was 3 yrs old when I had to replace the battery. My other garage door opener is still going strong after 4 yrs on the original backup battery. Hit or miss I guess.

I've had both of mine for less than 6 months but it's a sturdy opener - expect it to last for years.

My can doesn't have an expiration date that I can see. I haven't had a problem with it. I opened it on the top. The white tabs lift up and you twist it off. Hope that helps!

I don't know what kind of openers u bought...were they the kind you'd use to open soup for instance? The one I use (bought through amazon I think) has an edge, to pry up the can (like u do with paint cans). It also has a magnet to put lid back on, but I don't use it, because when I light them, they're on til they're empty. A screwdriver works just as good.I hope that answers your question. Lmk if I can answer more. Thanks, and good luck!

Depends how often you use it. Mine lasted seven years and this is a pack of ten bulbs. You'll never use them all!

I gave it to a friend of mine as a gift so I haven't used it myself but he and his wife had problems with other can openers so far I have heard no complaints from either of them using this one they both liked the fact there is a nice big handle to hold on this one. Hope this helped

Can't tell you how long a can will last, as it is how much you use it. The can's are not refillable.

In my experience all can openers last much longer if they are washed by hand but since this is all stainless steel construction you probably can use the dishwasher.

One clamp snapped on us after nine months. I did notice a friend has lost 2 out of 4. Cheap plastic. The thing still works even with just two clamps. The trick might be to try not to open and close it too often.

I purchased this exact model, in my local store, when it first came out years ago. Yes, it is still working, just like new. My wife and I use ours on a daily basis. We have had no trouble with neither shards of metal nor shreds of paper like other reviewers have complained, and the cord continues to retract and portract easily. You really cannot use the lid to push in and strain tuna, but we would not want to do that any (YUCK!), we just use a can strainer made for that specific purpose. We've used and had been through a lot of can openers and this particular one is by far the best we have used to date. Sorry about the rambling on but I wanted to share our particular experience.

Yes, mine froze up. So I lubricated it, but within a couple of months it froze up again. This has happened repeatedly, and it irritates me that it needs so much attention. A can opener should simply do its simple job without demanding all this loving care. So I'm back here on Amazon hoping to find a more reliable, less temperamental replacement.

I wish I could answer that but I have no idea what #10 cans are. I'm sure if it doesn't work, the folks will take it back. The company is in Missouri, I believe and you can write to them. I Love my Made in USA Can Opener and have given over 20 of them as Gifts and everyone is Happy.

Have to agree with Carrie here. I've had the opener for just 4 months and opened maybe 100 cans, and it requires 2 or 3 times around the can to get a clean cut open now.

Yes! I bought mine in November 2008 and it still works great. I have not had any problems at all with this can opener. All these people who have complaints must have gotten lemons, don't follow the directions, or overuse the product.

I use this can opener allot, although I have not had it for 6 months. It is still quite sharp.

my opener lasted for 3 days and quit...my best advice is to buy a manual opener like the rabbit and throw away that one i did (0;
