More about can opener.

Jayne,
The can opener does lock onto the can, but you do have to hold the button down as it cuts. No messy blades to clean, no metal slivers in the contents and the lid does not fall into the contents like it does on standard openers.
It sits flat if you want to keep it on the counter. I keep mine in a drawer right below the counter where I normally use it. It's really no trouble to get it out, plug it in and use it. I just don't like cluttered up counters.
Let me know if you get one and how you like it.
