Amazon.com Review
Sometimes the wheel needs to be reinvented, and the side-operation can opener, like this Good Grips Smooth Edge model from Oxo, is a case in point. Designed to operate on the horizontal, the opener makes a smooth cut below the can edge. The lid doesn't fall into the can, and the opener makes minimal contact with can contents. Built-in lid pliers let you grip the lid without touching it for clean and efficient removal. Though the large handles may be unwieldy for small hands, Oxo does use soft, nonslip material for a more comfortable grip. Like most standard manual openers, this unit is designed for right-handed operation. It measures 7-1/2 inches long and is safe for the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
The OXO Smooth Edge Can Opener cuts on the side of the can, below the edge - leaving no sharp edges on a can or lid. The side-wind knob with non-slip, comfortable grip is easy to use. The durable cutting wheel doesn't touch the can contents, while the lid pliers allow no-touch lid removal. It's a safe, hygenic way to open large & small lids.

 Useless - unable to open many cans August 18, 2008
M. Poisot (Houston, TX)
I bought this because I saw a friend using one and thought it was cool. "no more sharp edges - why would you NOT want one?"
Unfortunately many, many can lids are sealed with glue. After you cut through the can lid, which often requires 2 full passes, the lid does not easily pull off. Instead you must use the "beak" attachment to pry the lid off. This can be physically difficult (which means I'm called into the kitchen to pull the sword out of the stone). About 5% of cans I encounter are still impossible to open this way, and I have to pull out my ugly, rusty, falling apart "traditional" opener to complete the task.
10 minutes to open a can? Memorizing which brands use glue? No way! I will donate this gizmo to some unlucky person, and will buy the "traditional" OXO can opener. Do yourself a favor and follow suit.
Great Can Opener August 13, 2008

We've had the good grips smooth edge can opener for a few weeks now and are very, very happy with it. It is very easy to open with and does leave a clean edge. I have not had to fight or struggle with a can yet (as I did with my old ones). I did have to teach my family how to use it as it is different from a standard can opener. Once shown, it's very easy to use.
 Good design, bad execution August 10, 2008

Need to complete a couple of turns for the can top to come off, but it does so w/out burrs or sharp edges as advertised. Not the easiest model to seat on a can top. The top grabber teeth are gimmicky.
Certainly better than traditional can openers August 4, 2008
M. Hashemi
I purchased this item from another retailer. I made this buy because of the recommendation of America's Test Kitchen.
Pros: Smooth, easy action; no sharp edges.
Cons: Bulky; difficult to attach to can (though I'm getting better).
Summery: Works as advertised.
 18 months later...still going strong August 2, 2008
Jared Castle (Roseburg, Oregon United States)
I try to hold off on my reviews for kitchen products because I really want to make sure the durability is there. Back in February 2007, when I bought this can opener, I was very skeptical of the product's claims to room lids and leave behind smooth edges.
Now, 18 months later, I can give this can opener a 5-star review.
Here's my quick thoughts:
1. The can opener requires some practice to get the hang of it.
2. You'll likely spill a little of the can's contents at first.
3. It is easy to hold and even easier to clean.
4. It is a little bulky, so it doesn't fit in our silverware drawer.
5. The can opener works as good today as the first day it arrived.
