bit-tech Shopping: KitchenAid CO Can Opener Attachment

Rating: 8

Time with product: 1 Week

Strengths: Works off the stand mixer.

Weaknesses: Takes some time to attach it to the stand mixer; doesn't look as nice as the stand-alone electric can openers; high price.

Summary: The price is quite high for this attachment, and it doesn't look as nice as the stand-alone ones. Works great, but it does take some time to attach it to the mixer - could have just got a can open with a regular, manual can opener in the same amount of time. I bought it just because it was on sale and I thought it was pretty neat; but on second thought, it is pretty pricey for just a can opener, and now I think my purchase wasn't worth the high price even after a discount.

Strengths: Simple to use, easy to clean, easy to attach

Weaknesses: Not a permanent fixture

Summary: This can opener is great. Very easy to attach and simple to use. Works very well. I didn't know how I would like it compared to an entire can opener unit, but am pleased that I purchased this item instead an entirely different unit. If you have a KithchAid, get rid of your can opener and purchase this attachment! Though this is an attachment and not a permanent fixture, it is easy to attach and great to use!
