The Bottom Line: This can opener is great for any age. It is easy to use and easy to handle. I'd take my E-Series can opener over an electric can opener any day!

| vanrreed's Full Review: Tupperware E-Series Can Opener |
Part 4 of the Mighty Adventures of Bob
Not being able to wait any longer, Bob decided to call her. He picked up the phone and dialed. He couldn’t believe it when she said she’d be right over. Martha, a woman, was finally coming over! There was so much to do; so much to clean up. He had his work cut out for him.
Bob raced around the house picking up dirty laundry that was slung high, wide and fancy. He stuffed the clothes into the washer machine, swept all the dirt under the rugs and ran a cloth over the furniture. It was then that he saw his T-Fal Ultraglide Iron. He’d have to put it somewhere; somewhere she’d see it. She had to see it. Bob knocked everything off the coffee table and placed the iron in the middle. He then setup a ladder and angled the track lighting just right. The iron was now bathed in the glow of two 70-watt bulbs. She couldn’t miss it now.
Bob knew that the way to a women’s heart was to show her just how good a husband he could be. That and diamonds, but he didn’t have any diamonds lying around. So he had to show off his home economic skills. He’d cook for her! He’d prepare a gourmet feast that she could not resist.
Reaching into the pantry, Bob pulled out a can of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup. He placed the can on the counter and reached into his kitchen gadget drawer, from which he pulled the Tupperware E-Series Can Opener.
Once again, Bob couldn’t help but think that Tupperware had outdone themselves. The sleek, ergonomically designed can opener had no sharp parts. Nothing to hurt himself with; nothing to hurt any kids with (if he and Martha decided to have any). The beautifully curved, creamy white handles fit into his hand almost casually, familiarly. With its perfectly sized handles, he could use the E-Series in his old age and even if he was stricken with arthritis.
He attached the opener on the top of the can, sliding the roller-mechanism up onto the side of the can. Bob’s Tupperware E-Series Can Opener did not cut like most hand-held can openers. No, the E-Series cut into the side of the can’s lid. Just a few easy turns of the large handle and the can is open. He didn’t need 350 inch-pounds of torque to open this can. No, the Tupperware Can Opener was one of the easiest openers to use. It turned effortlessly and never hung up.
Bob marveled at the cut. It was precise and smooth. No sharp edges. He then used the opener’s patented lid gripper to remove the lid. He never had to use his fingers. Never would his delicate fingers be soiled by uncooked canned food. The lid just popped off and stayed attached to the lid gripper.
Bob poured the soup into a pot and tossed the lid and can into his recycle bin. He then walk to the counter and grabbed a cloth. The opener wiped clean in a matter of seconds. No sharp surfaces just smooth, molded metal and perfect, preformed plastic. Bob loved his can opener. Not as much as his T-Fal Ultraglide Iron, but he still had great affection for this Tupperware E-Series can opener.
Bob placed the seven inch long can-opener back into the drawer. It fit nicely into his drawer organizer. It was just the right size: not too big, and not one of those skinny metal can openers.
He then changed his mind. Wouldn’t Martha be impressed with his Tupperware E-Series can opener? Wouldn’t she be overwhelmed with its polished design and striking cream color? Wouldn’t she be awed to learn that Tupperware products are guaranteed against chipping, cracking, breaking or peeling under normal use for the lifetime of the product?
Bob placed the can opener on the counter, just as the door bell rang. He fixed his hair and checked his clothes as he dashed to the door. He opened it to find Martha standing there. He looked her over as she walked in. Her blue overalls were patched and grubby. Her hair a mess, her face without makeup. She headed directly for the kitchen passing the T-Fal Ultraglide Iron without even a glance.
The kitchen was still steamy from the soup boiling on the stove, but it did not bother Martha. Without a word she went straight to the sink.
Bob had checked every plumber in the Yellow Pages until he found a female. Martha was the only one he could find and he was hoping to make an impression on her. But instead she went right to work.
“Do you need any tools,” he asked. “I have the DeWalt 14.4 Volt Drill Kit if you need it.” She did not reply.
“Are you hungry? I cooked,” he added. She did not reply. He decided to leave her to her work. She was just like Jane: not interested.
Suddenly she spoke. Her voice was as beautiful as the singing birds. “Is that the Tupperware E-Series Can Opener?” she asked. She had noticed! She would fall in love with him because of his can opener. They would be married and have five kids. He’d buy each of their boys a can opener to take to college with them so that they too would meet a fine upstanding woman.
“My husband and I love ours,” she said as she returned to the drippy faucet.
Husband? No! No! No, it couldn’t be. The only female plumber in the book was married! Bob had struck out again. He gently placed his beloved $34 can opener into the drawer, then poured the cooked soup into one of his Tupperware Rock ‘N Serve Containers and walked out of the room.
He turned the track lighting off over the T-Fal Ultraglide Iron and dropped on the couch. “Maybe she has a sister,” he thought.
