Item Details: Item Details: Nickel plated cast aluminum Rust resistant arbor New base with plastic insert Rated for up to 50 cans per day Made in USA Review: This is no flimsy household can opener! - Oh yes, our new 'Old Reliable' can opener lives up to its name. If you're tired of flimsy can openers that break after a few uses, or struggle with larger cans, this is the tool for you (keep in mind, it's industrial, not a little homeowner can opener). This thing is built like a tank. The plated steel base is solid and provides excellent stability, even when opening taller, heavier cans. I've used it on everything from standard soup cans to larger Sam's sized large food cans, and it handles them all with ease. The long handle provides great leverage, making the opening process surprisingly smooth and requires minimal effort. The cutting blade is sharp and precise, cleanly slicing through the can lid without leaving jagged edges. It feels incredibly durable and I have no doubt it will last for years, even with frequent use. Our old one did get worn out (high school's concession stand), even when we oiled it, it was stubborn, so, longevity might depend on how much it's used/abused. While it's a manual can opener, it's surprisingly efficient. It's much faster than struggling with a cheap electric opener that constantly jams or slips. Plus, you don't have to worry about finding an outlet or dealing with cords. Cleanup is also a breeze – just a quick wipe down and it's good to go. Take it from me, watch out for that 'tooth blade!' The only potential downside is its size. It's definitely not a compact utensil you can toss in a drawer. You'll need to dedicate some counter or storage space to mount it. However, the robust construction and performance far outweigh this minor inconvenience. The screws that come with it are short, so consider buying longer screws and adding washers. Cons: It can get a bit tedious since it's rather large. Lift it, and drop it, as long as the can is in the right area it will pop into it. Some of our smaller helpers find it a bit large. Overall, it's an investment, but a worthwhile one. If you're serious about your kitchen tools and want a can opener that will stand the test of time, this is the one to get. Highly recommended for chefs, concession stand workers, restaurants, and anyone who wants to say goodbye to a frustrating can opening experience. It's truly a reliable workhorse. Review: A wrist-saver, and great for large families - [Update: after using it more than two years, it's still going strong. We've not had to sharpen or replace the blade. All I've done to maintain it is add a little oil a couple of times a year to keep it turning easy. Wipe it down after you use it (especially if can contents slosh out), and it will stay in great shape for years.] Well, if you're reading this review after browsing to the Edlund #1 Commercial Can Opener (with base), then I'll assume you fall into one of three categories: you're involved in food service somewhere (e.g., restaurant, soup kitchen), you have a large family that uses a lot of institutional sized (10#) cans, or you are wondering if something like this might work for someone with arthritis. I find myself in the latter two categories. This opener brought to an end our practice of buying and wearing out traditional, hand-held can openers. We're a big family and open a lot of institutional sized cans. I have no complaints. This opener can handle them all--even little tuna cans. Since we're not a restaurant, our biggest issue was deciding where to mount the base plate. We opted for a corner of one of our countertops in the area with the least foot traffic. Mounting the base plate required drilling holes through the countertop, then installing machine screws and nuts (provided). If we want the extra counter space (e.g., when hosting), the opener can be removed from the bracked and stored in a drawer or cabinet. Turning the crank sure beats trying to turn those little handles on the hand-held openers we've used all these years. My wife has recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in her fingers (sadly so, because she is so young), so this is a real hand-saver for her. ## Features - Proven Commercial Performance – Built for demanding kitchens, the Edlund #1 reliably opens up to 5,000 cans before parts replacement, delivering dependable performance day after day. - Durable 2-Sided Blade – Features a reversible two-sided blade that provides extended blade life and consistent operation. - Two Base Options – Available with either a plated steel base or a stainless steel base to suit different kitchen environments and sanitation preferences. - Designed for Easy Maintenance – Engineered for efficient cleaning and straightforward parts replacement, helping reduce downtime in busy operations. - Commercial-Grade Construction – Built with the rugged durability and reliability that have made Edlund can openers a staple in professional kitchens for decades. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001MRZ1O | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,186 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #75 in Manual Can Openers | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Edlund | | Brand Name | Edlund | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,196 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00219810009114, 00663128111005 | | Included Components | Can opener | | Item Dimensions W x H | 8.75"W x 4.3"H | | Item Type Name | Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall | | Item Weight | 7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Edlund | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1 | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Number | 1 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 8.75"W x 4.3"H | | Size | 11" tall | | UPC | 219810009114 066312811000 256510111266 663128111005 219810001910 658250735014 256510211461 663128110008 700736802373 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Edlund - **Color:** Silver - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Size:** 11" tall ## Images ![Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710hyV+qoFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have a stainless steel prep table on wheels. Will this mount to the side or end of the table? And is it difficult to mount? Thanks** A: It is not difficult to mount. There are instructions. You will need to drill holes for the mounting bolts; and I would use split washers to prevent the nuts from coming loose. You can mount it almost any place, wood or steel. If the prep table does not have wood underneath, then you might want to put a piece of wood there to strengthen and stabilize the can opener - if the steel is not heavy enough to resist torque. The bolts would hold both in place. You will not regret purchasing this can opener. It will do a great job and likely prevent injuries of cuts from lids. **Q: What is the difference between the Edlund #1 and #2? can one of them open larger cans?** A: The #1 opener is larger and opens cans up to 11". The #2 opener is slightly smaller and opens cans up to 7" tall. You can go to www.edlundco.com for all the information. **Q: Can you get a extra bracket for a second spot?** A: You probably can by going to the company directly. A restaurant supply store should have one used at a good price. **Q: how to change gear on Edlund can opener** A: how do you change the gear ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is no flimsy household can opener! *by K***N on February 19, 2025* Oh yes, our new 'Old Reliable' can opener lives up to its name.

This thing is casted iron, so it’s heavy duty. It does take up a bit of space, but if you have the room to mount it (and you like to open cans). Then I’d say you have a safe bet on this investment. Easy to use. Just mount it, then lift handle. Let it fall on the can top (might need to force it a bit). You just want to make sure the blade lands on the inside of the rim and it punctures the top. After than, drop the ha due and turn. Not sure why I read some reviews on it not working??? Cuz there’s really not much to it. It’s simple and it works. (Be sure to lift the handle before dropping it on the lid). Lifting the handle creates a small gap from the blade to casted body of opener. 5 Apr 2021 ## Frequently Bought Together - Edlund 11100 Old Reliable #1 Manual Can Opener with Plated Steel Base For Cans Up to 11” Tall - Edlund KT1100 Knife and Gear Replacement Kit for #1 Old Reliable Can Openers - Edlund K004SP Knife for #1 Can Opener --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/7106464-edlund-11100-old-reliable-1-manual-can-opener-with-plated](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/7106464-edlund-11100-old-reliable-1-manual-can-opener-with-plated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
