It can be wiped clean, but not put in the dishwasher
I use a can opener every day. I feed my dog wet (canned) dog food daily. My new "Made in USA" can opener is the best hand held can opener I have ever used. From the first time you'll notice the difference. It has a padded set of handles that feel good when squeezed, and it rolls around the lid with almost no effort at all. If you want a fine product, you should buy one of these.
I volunteer at a no kill animal shelter and have sliced my hand open numerous times on the can openers we use to open the dog food. I have purchased numerous can openers, in hopes of finding a long lasting one that works. This is it! Every previous can opener has been made in china. This unit is hand crafted in the USA and it shows! It has by far out lasted other openers used at the shelter and works soooo much better. The engineering and craftsmanship is unparalleled. I highly recommend this and am pu..
