How We Reviewed the Hamilton Beach Electric Automatic Can Opener

The Hamilton Beach 76700 Electric Automatic can opener is among the best, if not the best, freestanding corded electric can openers you can find out there. The device has a detachable cutting lever that you can remove whenever you need to clean the cutting unit. It is taller than traditional can openers and can open cans of different sizes, whether small or big.

With an automatic shutoff system, the device saves you the trouble of holding onto the lever to know when it is done cutting. This is a helpful feature for people with arthritis and everybody else in general. Also, the Hamilton Beach 76700 comes with a built-in knife sharpener and therefore serves as a general kitchen utility rather than just a can opener.

We must say we are pleased to see that the 76700 brings along a stainless steel cutting blade that will surely survive many cans without rusting, bending, or breaking. Again, this electric can opener comes with a cord storage compartment that allows you to keep your kitchen space neat and organized. And how about cleaning? We must say that there cannot be a better way than just to detach the cutting unit and hold it under a running faucet and then dry with a cotton cloth. And with the fact that it does not leave sharp edges on the opened cans, we consider the Hamilton Beach 76700 electric can opener safe for general family use, although kids really need some guidance. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a device that is more than just open a can.
