Amazon Basics 3-In-1
Score: 71/100
Kitchen Mama One-To-Go White
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Kitchen Mama One-To-Go is a handheld, AA-powered electric can opener offering smooth edge cuts and auto-stop operation. It requires separate batteries and cannot open sloped soda cans, which may limit convenience. Best suited for seniors, travelers, and compact kitchen spaces.
The Amazon Basics 3-in-1 combines can opening, bottle opening, and knife sharpening in a compact design with a magnetic lid holder. It lacks a true automatic stop and the knife-sharpening is modest, and it may tip with lighter cans. Suitable for occasional home use where space and cost are priorities.

Professional reviewers commend the Kitchen Mama for its ergonomic palm-fit design, single-button ease of use, and consistently clean 360° cuts that leave no sharp edges, emphasizing its hygienic advantage.
