Thank you! The OXO instructions and their TH-cam video were worthless. "This is the principle behind and this is how to do it." made the light go on. Now making chili.
Thanks for this. I just used one for the first time. I used the opener correctly, but since there are no obvious signs showing it's working (as opposed to a traditional opener and the gap it creates) I hadn't realized the can had been cut. I knew it was a simple things but since I didn't know what to look for, decided to watch your video.
Thank you. Yesterday I should have looked. I had a extra large can of tomatoes. I ended up using the can opener blade in my multi tool which was not easy or safe. Now I know what to do on next can
Hi and thanks for the second demonstration video for the XOX Smooth Can Opener. I bought the this can opener last year. I paid more than I usually would because I really liked the look and fell of it. Your video was spot on. Your detailed description on how to operate the opener and how a can is made was very informative. Thanks for sharing video and also thanks to your wife for encouraging you to do a second video to make sure that users have a better understanding on this product. thanks again I was one of those customers who decided to throw it away; because I couldn't figure out how to use it. Well, because I paid more than usual and I still liked the look and feel of it, I decided to hang on to it until
I was gifted my in a white elephant gift exchange and thought it didn’t work. As a last ditch effort before throwing it away, I decided to check your video out! I’m glad I did!
I haven't used this particular smooth-edge, side-cutting can opener, but I've used a different brand for many years. This particular Oxo model with the grip-closure handles looks superior, giving a more positive hold on the can, with the serrated gripper wheel on the inside of the rim, not on the top edge of the rim. The ones that place the serrated steel gripping wheel on the top edge of the rim can generate very fine "hairs" of metal when their gripper wheels lose traction and spin. I'm not sure how useful the "pliers" are, though. The cheaper side-cutting can opener I have doesn't have any "pliers", so all I've ever done is use all five of my fingertips spread evenly around the severed lid and pulled straight upward to remove the lid. The prying motion of the Oxo pliers looks awkward, and as your first video showed, can cause spillage. Using one hand to hold the base of the can on the countertop and the other hand to grip the edge of the lid and pull straight upward seems more sensible to me. I understand that someone with arthritis or otherwise limited strength or movement in their hand might need the pliers, so it's great that Oxo included the pliers. But I think for most people, just pulling the severed lid straight upward with the fingers will easily remove the lid with less hassle. Thank you for the informative videos and the diagrams!
I hadn't use one that open from the outside so I wasn't entirely sure. I figured out how to use it but was skeptical. Thanks for the explanation :) The tool is very sharp and operates very, very smoothly.
Great video but I offer one caveat. I have a fairly similar one, not from OXO but from Pampered Chef. Even if you're adept at using it and follow instructions it doesn't work sometimes. An example is Hunt's tomato sauce. It's not you, the can opener or the can-the label is too high and messes up the can opener. So if you're locked on and turning and turning and turning but nothing's happening, you actually have to peel some of that label off or slide it down so the machine can cut the metal.
I think what is not emphasized is that it seems you have to open the handles before placing it onto the lid, then squeeze them together to initiate cutting.
Thank you!!! I could not figure it out. Yes, I was considering throwing it out. I'm also wondering if I have any partially opened cans sitting in my pantry that I tried it on and I thought nothing was happening. I kept looking at the claw and thought it must do something, but I could not figure out what. How did you learn how to do it?
I have a Kuhn Rikon and a OXO both with a top handle. I am left handed and this does not work for me. Would you like to open a can with your left hand if you were right handed?
Really - you are so left handed you can't open a can with your right hand? So I guess you can only make left hand turns and open left swinging doors? :)

Thank you! I’m saving your video so I can get to it quickly every time I have to use this can opener!
What I as doing wrong was not squeezing the handles together tightly. Thanks for your excellent demo.
Glad it helped!

Thank you this was so helpful. This taught me how to use it after watching a video that was completely useless in teaching
Thank you! I could not figure out how to use it!!!

Thank you thank you! I have been so frustrated trying to use this, now I know! Bless you ❤😂😮

Thank you for watching.
YOUR video was the very best !!! I watched other videos, and they did not show me how to use it until I watched yours
@@codihart5113 thanks so much!
Thank you!!!…I was about to throw it away…Whoohoo!!!…I now know how to use it!!!
Thank you so much for the very, concise introductions!
Thank you! I was going nuts trying to use this opener. Happy Thanksgiving
Hey bro! I figured out that I had to push the turn knob in, in order for the knob to grasp to can
Thank you! This was so helpful.
Good description of how it works and how to use. Your significant other was correct. First one is better!
Glad it was helpful!
They are all trash
Thank you! This helped a TON!!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you.....very easy to understand!
Thanks. I loved the first video.

Excellent video !
Thank you very much, this video really did hep
Thank you. This is clear explanation 😅

Hi! Thank you for this informative video. Does this can opener leave metal shavings?
Super clean cut
good demonstration i ordered one
Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you very helpful
Thank you for this information. I was using mine inside/outside, upside down. 😂😂
Glad I could help!
Thank you. Ver helpful
How to clean it?
Wipe with a damp cloth?
Thank you!!! I could not figure it out. Yes, I was considering throwing it out. I'm also wondering if I have any partially opened cans sitting in my pantry that I tried it on and I thought nothing was happening. I kept looking at the claw and thought it must do something, but I could not figure out what. How did you learn how to do it?
You're welcome!
Just set it on turn it until it gos all the way around, then use the claws to take it off.
Thanks
Me watching this as my onions and celery carrot combo are burning
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank u
Thanks!
I have a Kuhn Rikon and a OXO both with a top handle. I am left handed and this does not work for me.
Would you like to open a can with your left hand if you were right handed?
I'm left handed too. Works fine for me....
Really - you are so left handed you can't open a can with your right hand? So I guess you can only make left hand turns and open left swinging doors? :)
Twenty second video should be easy
I had to go here to 2 videos to figure out how to use 😅
Which version did you like better?
Clark Elizabeth Thompson Robert Wilson Jessica
Still didn’t work for me!
2nd example was better

You can do it!
