Does it need batteries?

Yes. It runs on 4 AA alkaline batteries and has no cord or charger.

Does it leave sharp edges?

It cuts around the side of the lid rather than through the top, so the lid edge is smooth.

Can it open large or odd-shaped cans?

It handles most standard can shapes, but very large, dented or square cans can make it slip or stall.

Is it good for arthritis?

Yes. The one-touch start means no twisting or squeezing, which is why many owners with weak grip choose it.

Does the blade touch the food?

No. The cutter works on the outside rim, so it does not go into the contents.

Wipe the body with a damp cloth. It is not dishwasher safe and should not be submerged.

Our take on the Kitchen Mama Handheld Electric Can Opener, White

The Kitchen Mama is a battery-powered handheld can opener that runs on 4 AA batteries and starts and stops with a single touch. It clamps onto the rim and cuts around the lid, leaving a smooth edge and keeping the blade away from the food. It suits people with weak grip or arthritis, and anyone who dislikes manual turning. Against manual openers it trades crank effort for batteries and a slower cut; against plug-in electric models it is cordless and small but needs fresh AA cells.
