Our take on the Prepology Auto Hands Free Can Opener

The Prepology Auto Hands Free Can Opener is a battery-powered electric opener that runs on AA batteries and does the work with one button press. It uses a side-cut blade that slices below the lid rim, so the cut edge is smooth and the lid lifts off without sharp metal. It is small at about 5 by 2.5 by 2 inches, so it fits in a drawer. It is a niche gadget rather than a kitchen essential, and no current price is available for it.

Questions and answers

Is a side-cut can opener worth it?
It depends on how much you open cans. Side-cut openers leave a smooth rim and a lift-off lid, which helps people with weak hands. If you open one can a week, a $5 manual opener does the same job.
Does it work on flip-top cans?
The listing says it handles flip-top cans, but flip-top lids are meant to be pulled by hand. Use the opener on standard sealed cans; the pull-tab type usually does not need it.
What batteries does it take?
It runs on AA batteries. Keep spares on hand, because the motor slows noticeably as the batteries drain and can stall mid-cut.
Will the lid fall into the food?
No. The side-cut blade cuts below the rim, so the lid stays whole and rests on top. You lift it off by hand.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the body with a damp cloth and brush crumbs from the cutting wheel. Do not put it in the dishwasher or submerge it, since the battery compartment is not sealed.
When is it cheapest?
No current price is listed, so there is no recent range to compare. Electric can openers usually drop in price during holiday kitchen sales and Black Friday.
