Kitchen Aid Cookware: Hamilton Beach 76606 Pop-Top Electric Can Opener, Black and Chrome Review

I loved my Krups Open Master 404 until it stopped working recently.I found that The Krups, which had NO BLADE that touched the food so as to leave food on the blade as with most canopeners, is no longer made or avaialbe except on ebay.So, I started looking to see what is now available.I tried some other brands.These "other brands" had the typical "blade" that cut into the top of the can and the blade TOUCHED the food inside the can.Thus, food was left ON the blade.To me, after using the Krups for 7 years, this was/is VERY unsanitary---having part of the juice or syrup of the food left to dry out and collect germs on the blade.The only way to avoid having food left on the "cutting blade" of most canopeners is to wash the blade EVERY time you open a can.This isn't difficult, but it takes a minute or two which seems like a lot of effort when you're trying to fix a meal for yourself or your family.Enter the Hamilton Beach 76606.THIS ONE DOES NOT GET ANY FOOD ON ANY BLADE.In fact, I didn't SEE any blade on it that touches the food!So, it's as good, or almost as good, as my old Krups. Praise the Lord!:o) boland7214@aol.
