Pros: worked for a few weeks

Cons: cheap plastic top

Other Thoughts: Anyone who buys this can opener will eventually find that there is a cheap plastic lever inside the top assembly that will break (see attached photos). This lever actuates the motor, so that when you press on the top, you are pressing this pin into a switch that turns the motor on. I bought this for Christmas last year, and by February, after two months of light and occasional use, this pin broke. I still haven't found a way to fix the appliance or get a replacement. This thing is still siting in my kitchen broken and useless, but fits in great with my stainless steel decor.

I contacted Hamilton Beach customer service, and sent them pictures of the broken lever. They wanted me to pay $9.99 for S&H, and send them a picture of the base of the unit showing that I cut the cord. After going back and forth with them over email for a few days, they agreed to drop the S&H costs, but still wanted me to intentionally render something I bought and paid for inoperable. The fact that they are asking people to cut off the electrical cord shows how little they value this product. I'm not doing business with this company ever again for this reason.
