content: As most of the other reviewers hear, I too purchased this can opener from good old Waly World. First out of the box impressions is plasticy. When I used it for the first time I was surprised at how noisy it actually was. It vibrated the counter tops and everything on them. It also struggled to open cans larger than most, demonstrating lack of torque from the motor. This item although inexpensive, is cheap in design and build, and your money would be better spent buying something else. In most cases you get what you pay for and this is no different. If your looking for a step up from a old hand opener I suppose this will work, but if you are looking for something that will last for more than a year then I would scrape up the extra twenty bucks and buy something of better quality. Good luck!
