Does it open large cans?

Zyliss says it works on small, medium and large cans, and it also handles pop-top cans. Some owners report it struggles with very large or dented cans.

Does it leave sharp edges?

No. It cuts from the side just below the rim, so the lid comes off with a smooth edge rather than a sharp one.

Does it need batteries?

Yes. It is cordless and battery-operated, so keep spares on hand; owners say battery life is the main running cost.

Is it good for someone with arthritis?

It is designed for that. One touch starts and stops it, so there is no gripping, cranking or twisting.

Can it open pop-top cans?

Yes. Zyliss says it handles pop-top cans as well as standard ones.

The cutting mechanism is simple, and Zyliss describes cleaning as quick and hassle-free. Wipe the cutting area rather than submerging the body.

Owners with arthritis and weak hands rate it highly for taking the effort out of opening cans, and many like the smooth edge it leaves. Complaints center on battery life and on cans it fails to open cleanly.

About the Zyliss Easican Electronic Can Opener

The Zyliss EasiCan is a cordless, battery-operated electronic can opener that works with one hand. A single touch starts it and a single touch stops it, and it opens cans in seconds. A red LED light shows when the can is in operation.

It cuts from the side of the can, just below the rim, so the edges are left smooth with no sharp rim. It works on small, medium and large cans and also handles pop-top cans.

The handle is ergonomic for a comfortable grip, which can help people with limited hand strength, arthritis or mobility challenges. The design is straightforward to clean and compact to store.
