Joseph Joseph GoRound Easy-Open Can Opener
The Joseph Joseph GoRound can opener addresses a common kitchen frustration: the wrist strain and awkward grip of traditional can openers. Its ergonomic crank handle allows you to open cans with a natural rotating motion rather than the repetitive squeezing action that typically causes discomfort during extended use.
Key features include:
- Ergonomic crank handle: Reduces wrist strain through a continuous rotating motion rather than repetitive squeezing
- Top-removal cutting mechanism: Removes the entire lid rather than creating an internal cut, providing full access to contents
- Safe cutting wheel: Designed to reduce jagged edges compared to traditional can openers
- Foldable handle: Collapses flat to 2.8cm depth for compact drawer storage
This can opener suits households that frequently use tinned goods and want to reduce hand fatigue, particularly useful for those with arthritis or reduced grip strength.
What Customers Ask About the GoRound Can Opener
How does the crank handle reduce wrist strain compared to traditional can openers?
Traditional can openers require repetitive squeezing and twisting motions that stress the wrist joint. The crank handle on this opener allows you to keep your wrist in a neutral position whilst turning continuously in one direction. This reduces the repetitive strain that builds up when opening multiple cans or dealing with particularly tough lids.
Will this work on all standard tin sizes?
This opener is designed for standard round tins with rolled rims (the typical edge found on food cans). It works on common sizes from small tuna tins to large soup or tomato cans. It may not be suitable for unusually shaped tins, ring-pull cans, or tins with non-standard rim designs. If you primarily open standard supermarket tinned goods, this should handle your needs.
How much drawer space does it need when folded?
When folded flat, the opener measures 19.7cm long by 5.4cm wide by 2.8cm deep. This is roughly the size of a large serving spoon, so it should fit comfortably in a standard kitchen drawer alongside other utensils. Measure your drawer depth if you have particularly shallow drawers (some are only 4-5cm deep when accounting for cutlery trays).
Are the edges really safe after cutting?
The cutting mechanism is designed to reduce jagged edges compared to traditional can openers, but both the lid and can rim will still have sharp edges that require careful handling. Joseph Joseph's caution notice specifically warns to take care when handling the opened can and lid. This is safer than a standard opener's internal cut, but you should still exercise caution, particularly when disposing of lids.
What makes this different from a basic £3 can opener?
The primary differences are the ergonomic crank mechanism (which reduces hand fatigue), the top-removal cutting system (providing full access to can contents), and the foldable storage design. Basic can openers typically use a butterfly-style handle requiring repetitive squeezing and create an internal cut that can drop metal shavings into food. If you rarely open tins or have no grip strength issues, a basic opener may suffice. If you open tins frequently or experience wrist discomfort, the ergonomic design may justify the additional cost.

Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use, paying particular attention to the cutting wheel where food residue may accumulate.
Important - Do Not Submerge: This opener should not be submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher. The internal mechanism may be damaged by water immersion, and moisture can promote rust on the cutting components.
Safety Note: Always handle the opened can and lid carefully as edges will be sharp despite the safety cutting mechanism. Dispose of lids promptly and safely.
Storage: Ensure the opener is completely dry before folding flat and storing in a drawer to prevent moisture damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and it doesn't work as I expected?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've opened several cans with it.
Can I get a replacement if I accidentally break it?
Yes, our half-price replacement policy covers accidental damage for 2 years from purchase. If you break or damage the opener accidentally, we'll replace it at half the original price. You'll need proof of purchase or photos of the damage.
What warranty does Joseph Joseph provide?
1 year guarantee against manufacturing defects. Our own no quibble returns policy and half-price replacement guarantee provide additional protection beyond any manufacturer warranty.
The cutting wheel seems stiff - is this normal?
When new, the mechanism may feel slightly stiff until it's been used a few times. This is normal for can openers as the moving parts settle in. If it remains excessively stiff after several uses or becomes harder to turn over time, contact us - this shouldn't happen with normal use and would be covered by our returns policy.
Will you price match if I find it cheaper elsewhere?
Yes. If you've seen this exact Joseph Joseph GoRound can opener (same model, SKU 1000064) available cheaper from a UK competitor on the day you want to buy, tell us where and we'll match the price if it's in stock with them.
