Oster Electric Can Opener with Knife Sharpener
Score: 76/100
Cuisinart CCO-55 Deluxe Silver
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Oster electric can opener combines a patented Power Pierce blade with stainless-steel durability, automatically shutting off and handling tall cans. Manual cord wrap-around storage and a modest knife sharpener are trade-offs. Suited for households that frequently open tall cans and value sturdy construction.
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 Oster opener for its patented Power Pierce blade, stainless-steel durability, and tall-can compatibility, noting that the auto shut-off and hands-free design make it especially convenient. However, they point out that the built-in knife sharpener is only modestly effective and that the manual cord storage feels less refined than retractable alternatives.
Everyday users echo the professional praise for effortless tall-can opening, clean cuts, and hands-free convenience, while consistently reporting that the knife sharpener offers only limited sharpening and that the cord storage is fiddly to manage.
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.
