Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of WMF Profi Plus Safety Can Opener
Customer Review: I got a lemon but Amazon made good ASAP
Summary: 5 Stars
At the bottom of the posting you will see that I promised to ammend/addend my original post if the replacement was satisfactory. IT WAS. So I am giving the opener 5 stars.
Amazon made it easy to replace and did so in a matter of days.
5 stars from all 6 reviewers induced me to buy the Profi Plus Safety can opener. Some reviewers did warn that it was no longer made in Deutschland but I have been impressed with the quality of most of the items from China with a few exceptions (e.g.binoculars).
I eat little from cans so I had more tuna and spaghetti than I usually do so I could test the opener before the expiration of the 30 day return. I was satisfied on the first few cans but performance deteriorated after 2 weeks. I had to circle twice on one occasion and had difficulty removing lids on a few. Also, I got a sharp barb on todays tuna can.
I noticed 2 imperfections as soon as I removed the opener from its shrink wrapping.
1. the crank handle was mounted erratically causing it to bear against the platen it is attached to. It is pressed onto a piece of whitish plastic (Delrin?) This causes a slight amount of friction creating minor resistance to free turning.
2. The lid removing pliers/jaws were not perfectly aligned but still functioned.
The imperfections may not be a problem but they are indicative of the care and concern into the fabrication of the opener i.e. NOT THE KIND OF QUALITY THAT YOU GET/GOT WITH GERMAN MADE PRODUCTS!
Nonetheless the Chinese usually do as good a job on most products for less than half what they originally cost (but the middlemen inflate the price anyway).
So, I am returning the opener for a replacement because I like the concept and was very dissapointed with a manual wall opener that used to be great (SWINGAWAY)
When I check out the replacement I will repost and if this one is not a lemon I will write a follow up post and give it 5 stars.
