Just place the can opener on top of your can, press the button and watch as it effortlessly glides around the edge, cutting the lid off cleanly. The can opener is battery-operated, requiring four AA batteries and it's small enough to fit comfortably in a drawer when not in use.

The Results
The real test, of course, was actually using it. I grabbed a can of beans, placed the opener on top, and pressed the button. To my amazement, the can opener started whirring and rotating around the can with minimal effort on my part.
Within seconds, the lid was off, and I didn't even break a sweat. The edges of the can were smooth, so I didn't have to worry about accidentally cutting myself. It was quick, clean, and so satisfying to watch.

Pros
- It's incredibly user-friendly. If you've ever struggled with a manual can opener, you'll appreciate how effortless this one is. It's perfect for anyone with arthritis or hand pain because you barely have to apply any pressure.
- Another big plus is how clean the cut is. The can opener leaves no jagged edges, making it safer to handle. Plus, it doesn't come into contact with the food inside the can, so there's no risk of contamination.
- Let's not forget the fun factor. There's something oddly satisfying about watching this gadget in action. It's the kind of thing you'll want to show off to friends and family, just to see their reactions.

Cons
- Because it's electric and requires batteries, you'll have to eventually replace the batteries. Not a deal breaker, just something to keep in mind.
- Another small issue is that it might struggle with larger, heavier cans. While it handled most of my pantry items with ease, I noticed it took a bit more effort with oversized cans. But again, this was a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things.
Bottom Line
The Kitchen Mama Auto Electric Can Opener is one of those gadgets that you didn't know you needed until you tried it. It's not just about convenience; it adds a bit of fun to your kitchen routine. While it's not essential, it makes life much easier and more enjoyable. Plus, it's a great conversation starter — perfect for those TikTok-inspired kitchen hacks that we all secretly love to try.
