Hamilton Red Can Opener

Reviewing: Hamilton 76383 H
Purchased at: Sears     Price: $19.99 USD

I had decided to do my kitchen in red so start buying all red appliances so as soon as I saw this can opener I had to buy it. It is very sleek and does not look bulky sitting on my counter top.I was not expecting anything fancy because it was just a basic can opener and o but just needed something to open cans for the first month it worked perfectly.

I start having trouble getting the magnet to latch on to the can then when it was done it would just drop the can. Finally the magnet fell completely off and I have tried numerous times to put it back on but I use it once and it comes right back off.It has a removable top so you can put it in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.After I removed it the first time it keeps falling off and has never latched right on correctly.

Now every time I open a can it is a huge fight trying to get it to open and I have to remember to hold on otherwise it bangs off the counter and I end up with sauce and soup all over the counter.The only good thing about the can opener that is although I need a new one that Hamilton is going to donate a portion of each sale of can opener to the American heart association.

Too bad that this one didn't last long enough. I think you should contact the manufacturer and see if you can get a replacement. They shouldn't break down that easily.

I am with Tink! Contact the manufacturer and see if they will stand behind their product. It could be that others have had the same problem as you. Good luck!

This is Hamilton Beach? Usually they do better products. I need a new can opener. Will stay away from this one.

Do follow up with the manufacturer. I've always thought this was a reputable company.

Thanks for sharing the honest and detailed information. This one product I know I will avoid. I need a new can opener, but I will certainly avoid this model.

Oh, shoot! I have a friend who did a red kitchen, and I thought this would be something she would like. Guess not!
