OXO Good Grips Soft-Handled Can Opener & Swivel Peeler - Comfortable

In this review of the OXO Good Grips Soft-Handled Can Opener & Swivel Peeler, the bottom line is simple: this is a kitchen duo built for comfort and repetitive use. The set pairs a manual can opener with an oversized knob and large cushioned handles and a swivel peeler with twin flexing blades and a soft, non slip grip. For cooks who prep produce and open cans regularly or anyone with reduced hand strength, the combination of cushioned handles and an easy-turn knob makes routine kitchen tasks noticeably less tiring.

Key Features

• Large cushioned handles: The oversized soft handles provide a non slip grip and reduce hand strain during repetitive use.
• Oversized turning knob: The big knob on the can opener requires less force to rotate, making it easier to open cans for users with limited hand strength.
• Stainless steel cutting wheel: The can opener uses a sharp stainless steel wheel that cuts smoothly through lids for clean openings.
• Twin swivel blades: The peeler has flexible twin stainless steel blades that remove large swaths of skin quickly from potatoes and apples.
• Built in tools: The can opener includes a built in bottle cap opener and the peeler has a built in potato eye remover for added utility.
• Non slip grip when wet: Both handles are designed to stay secure even with damp hands, improving control while working.

Who It's For

The set is well suited for home cooks who perform frequent prep tasks and want tools that reduce wrist and hand fatigue, including older adults or users with mild arthritic hands who will benefit from the cushioned handles and easy-turning knob.

It is not aimed at professional kitchens that demand heavy industrial durability; some users report long-lasting performance while others experienced early breakage, so those needing a lifetime commercial tool may prefer heavier-duty metal-bodied alternatives.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, oversized handles that provide a secure, non slip grip even when wet.
• Easy-to-turn oversized knob reduces effort for opening cans, helpful for reduced hand strength.

• Useful built in extras such as a bottle cap opener and potato eye remover add convenience.

Cons

• Some customers report inconsistent durability, with a minority experiencing breakage soon after purchase.
