CAN OPENERS with LIFETIME WARRANTY

(updated for 2024)

“Lifetime warranty for a can opener?

Are you kidding?”, asked my friend in our conversation.

No, I was not kidding.

A can opener does not need to be disposable.

I know, we get so accustomed to even large appliances, like refrigerators or washing machines, coming with just a 1 -year limited warranty, that we do not expect much more for a can opener. I used to have my fair share of those gadgets that “go to trash” after a few months of service, but not anymore!

It comes as a pleasant surprise in today’s throwaway American culture, that there are some brands that give a lifetime warranty on their tools.

Best can openers with lifetime warranty

In the tables below you will find 6 featured can openers that not only come with a lifetime warranty, but also are top performers.

You will discover manual and electric, traditional and innovative, safety and top cut can openers among them.

Hammacher Schlemmer Superior electric can opener is a great choice for people with arthritis or weak hands.
OXO Good Grips Smooth Edge, Good Cook, and Rosle offer can openers that are safe, sanitary and easy to maintain. They cut the can on the side, leaving a smooth edge and never touch the food with the cutting wheel.

As you can see, it is possible to find something that fits your individual needs.

P.S. I personally own one of the listed can openers: OXO SteeL. It has served me well for 12 years and is good as new. I do believe that this opener can last a lifetime.
