Proctor Silex SureCut Electric Automatic Can Opener
Score: 84/100Rankings
The Proctor Silex SureCut Electric Automatic Can Opener is a corded countertop unit featuring SureCut technology, automatic shutoff, and built-in cord storage for reliable hands-free opening of standard and extra-tall cans. While it delivers strong performance and many accessories, it lacks portability and requires a 120 V outlet. Ideal for home cooks who frequently open a variety of cans and value stability.
The Cuisinart CCO-55 offers a powerful 60 W motor and a premium chrome finish, handling cans from 6 oz to 28 oz with a clean top-cut. Its tall, bulky footprint and heavy weight can dominate limited countertop space. Ideal for kitchens that can accommodate its size.

Professional reviewers commend the CCO-55 for its powerful motor, clean top-cut performance, and premium chrome aesthetic, calling it a top choice for kitchens that can accommodate its size, while noting that its bulk and sharp lid edges are the main compromises.
Consumers consistently appreciate the effortless, single-touch operation, magnetic lid lift, and sturdy build, but many express frustration with the unit's large footprint, height, and the sharp edges left on opened lids.
“This is the best can opener I've ever owned - it cuts fast and works hands-free.”
Professional reviewers and retailer editors emphasize the SureCut™ blade's patented strength and the unit's extra-tall height as key differentiators, highlighting the built-in knife sharpener, cord storage, and automatic shutoff as features that boost everyday kitchen efficiency.
Everyday users consistently commend the opener's speed, reliability, and hands-free convenience, often describing it as the best they've owned. The most common feedback mentions occasional stabilization needs for unusually large cans, but overall satisfaction is high.
