A wrist-saver, and great for large familiesDec 22, 2008
By Andrew J. Riemer
"Andrew James Riemer"
[Update: after using it more than two years, it's still going strong. We've not had to sharpen or replace the blade. All I've done to maintain it is add a little oil a couple of times a year to keep it turning easy. Wipe it down after you use it (especially if can contents slosh out), and it will stay in great shape for years.]
Well, if you're reading this review after browsing to the Edlund #1 Commercial Can Opener (with base), then I'll assume you fall into one of three categories: you're involved in food service somewhere (e.g., restaurant, soup kitchen), you have a large family that uses a lot of institutional sized (10#) cans, or you are wondering if something like this might work for someone with arthritis. I find myself in the latter two categories.
This opener brought to an end our practice of buying and wearing out traditional, hand-held can openers. We're a big family and open a lot of institutional sized cans. I have no complaints. This opener can handle them all--even little tuna cans. Since we're not a restaurant, our biggest issue was deciding where to mount the base plate. We opted for a corner of one of our countertops in the area with the least foot traffic. Mounting the base plate required drilling holes through the countertop, then installing machine screws and nuts (provided). If we want the extra counter space (e.g., when hosting), the opener can be removed from the bracked and stored in a drawer or cabinet.
Turning the crank sure beats trying to turn those little handles on the hand-held openers we've used all these years. My wife has recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her fingers (sadly so, because she is so young), so this is a real hand-saver for her.

The Edlund Commercial Can Opener#1 With Plated Base is a great can opener!!!
We have had it for almost a month now and no complaints whatsoever.
Would recommend this to any one who has a lot of cans to open on a regular basis.

 Edlund Can OpenerJul 18, 2011
By Scott
All around a pretty good opener. I found you must drop the blade down pretty hard for it to work properly but that is not really any big deal. It would not turn the can unless the blade is seated all the way down into a can. I would recommend this because I had several cheaper openers before this one and they were all a waste of money. This one seems well made and looks like it should last. I would buy it again, if I needed a second opener.

Strong commercial can openerJan 18, 2011
By R. Patterson
"CHAPLAIN RICK"
Our church ordered an Edlund Commercial Can Opener #1 with plated base. It arrived promptly and has been installed in our church kitchen. It is the best and most durable can opener we have used. This is what we were looking for after one of our volunteers was injured on a large can lid while using one of those hand held openers. His trip to the emergency room cost $thousands. This Edlund opener will prevent a reoccurrence.

Can openerMar 29, 2008
By Josephine B. Dewey
This was a replacement for a 17 year old can opener. It is the same one and is used in a soup kitchen. We are hoping to have it last as long as the first one.
