CUTCO CUTLERY REVIEW

 

CUTCO CUTLERY

REVIEW

     We are going to be reviewing some CUTCO Cutlery. Some have referred to CUTCO as an MLM scam, but it is not. CUTCO sells their product line like Kirby Vacuum Cleaners does...via direct sale.

     Accordingly, their product line is expensive, but it is worth it? Without the guarantee, no: with the guarantee, yes. We purchased and tested a CUTCO manual can opener----their knives have been thoroughly reviewed and are generally considered to be the Rolls Royce of cutlery.

     The CUTCO warranty is a multi-generational lifetime warranty, which justifies their high up front cost. You can use the can opener until you die and pass it down to your kids and grandkids and the can opener, as will their other products, still be under warranty. ( CUTCO has been around since 1949)

     The can opener we purchased was a sturdy plastic composite. It was comfortable to use and some thought went into the design. 

     

     The gearing allows one to open a can with just a few turns of the handle. The mechanism appears to be a bit oversized and this is an indicator of quality. We have had no issues with it thus far, and if it breaks it is covered by the lifetime warranty.

     The handle is reinforced for sturdiness and we fully expect to get several decades of use out of it without any issues. The current cost of the can opener is just over $60.00. Without the warranty, I would pay a max of $30.00 for it but the less expensive hand can openers we have purchased in the past have not lasted more than two years. The multi-generational warranty on this product makes it a good value and the children who inherit CUTCO products will be getting an extremely good value.

     We can highly recommend this product.
