Also, forget extra-tall, ha, it will only hold cans an ant would consider tall. This can opener is virtually impossible to position on the cutter. We are using a manual can opener until we get a chance to replace it.
The manual clearly states NOTHING is dishwasher safe on this can opener. I am returning it to Amazon. In two different spots this is stated in the description to have a dishwasher safe cutter. MANUAL HAND WASHING REQUIRED.
I'd rather be using one of the other hand powered can openers we've have. My P38-John Wayne C-Ration can opener that I got in the Marine Corps 45+ years ago, is only about 1 1/2" in length, has a larger cutting blade and works better and faster. It is extremely difficult to stick a can in this opener in the proper position to have the very small cutting blade actually cut through the can's lid. We were able to open the can on the first try maybe 1 out of 15 attempts. This Black & Decker can opener was a waste of money and is going into the trash.
As soon as I can replace it, it will go in the trash. It was the only one they had. If I could give this "0" stars, I would. I needed a can opener quick and bought this one from K-Mart. My husband and I both fuss at it everytime we have to use it.
The can opener worked fine for about a year, then would not open cans without babying it and holding the can just right. I don't like to purchase can openers annually so I do not recommend this item.
