What Is a Corded Countertop Electric Can Opener?
A corded countertop electric can opener is a plug-in kitchen appliance that grips the lid, rotates the can and cuts cleanly around the rim. It sits on your counter for everyday access and uses steady AC power for dependable performance. Many models include a magnetic lid holder to lift the lid away after cutting, a removable cutting lever for easy cleaning and a tall design that handles both standard and family-size cans.

Will a Corded Countertop Opener Handle Tall or Heavy Cans?
Most tall or extra-tall models are designed for family-size cans and heavier contents. Check the product height and can-size guidelines to ensure the opener supports the cans you use most often.
How Do You Clean Your Openers Cutting Assembly?
Unplug the opener first. Remove the cutting lever, rinse or wipe it clean and dry it thoroughly before reattaching. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Replace the cutting blade if you notice ragged edges, metal shavings or hesitation while cutting.
Do These Openers Work with Pop-Top or Pull-Tab Cans?
Yes, you can usually open them like a standard can by engaging the blade on the lid. If the tab interferes with the guide wheel, rotate the can slightly and reseat it so the blade contacts clean metal.
