Negative Positive
Title: Works poorly and painful to use
Review: I loathe this can opener. I hate it in a way that I find vaguely disturbing, like I'm anthropomorphizing it. The idea is awesome for people with hurty joints, which is why I bought it. The problem is that a locking mechanism is a lot less useful (and a lot more frustrating) if it takes five tries to get the jaws around the can properly. And when the button locks in a misaligned position (those first four tries) it is extremely difficult to release. My joints hurt a lot but are pretty strong as I'm still in my mid-20s, and I have serious trouble using this. It negates its own purpose by being badly put together.
Is the review positive or negative?
