As you get older, it is surprising how the smallest things make life so much easier.<\/p>\n

Some of these can be small changes like putting the TV remote<\/a> on a lower shelf.<\/p>\n

Others are tools that make common tasks less frustrating. For instance an electric can opener, which we are going to talk about in this buying guide and help you pick the best one for your needs.<\/p>\n

An electric can opener makes opening cans and tins easier and safer for seniors with reduced strength and problems like arthritis.<\/p>\n

We are going to review the best electric can openers for seniors. We choose the top picks based on ease of use, versatility and how good they are at opening cans.<\/p>\n

But before we get to them, here are some tips for choosing the best can opener for yourself or an elderly family member.<\/p>\n

What to Consider When Buying an Electric Can Opener for a Senior<\/h2>\n

a. Ease of Use<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t buy a product that makes opening cans harder than using a manual can opener. Check customer reviews to see people\u2019s experience with the product.<\/p>\n

Does it work as advertised? Do you need to use a lot of force? Does it require a complicated setup?<\/p>\n

The best electric can openers have a simple one-touch operation. You put the can under the opener (or the opener over the can, depending on the design) and press a button or lever.<\/p>\n

It should be a completely hands-free operation. You shouldn\u2019t have to rotate or tightly hold the can.<\/p>\n

Also check that the can opener has anti-slip feet or a sturdy base. Otherwise, it\u2019s going to have a hard time staying still on the counter.<\/p>\n

b. Versatility<\/h3>\n

Does the can opener do more than just open cans?<\/p>\n

At the very least, it should also have a bottle opener. Others also include a mechanism for automatically unscrewing tight lids from bottles.<\/p>\n

Some also include a knife sharpener.<\/p>\n

When it comes to cans, the opener should be able to handle different sizes. Check the size and weight limit before ordering.<\/p>\n

Generally, the more versatile the can opener the better.<\/p>\n

But consider the price as well. If the can opener does five other things that you don\u2019t really need, it may not be worth the extra cost.<\/p>\n

c. Cleaning and Maintenance<\/h3>\n

Check how easy it is to take apart and clean the can opener. Ideally, the cleanable parts should be dishwasher-friendly.<\/p>\n

d. Portability<\/h3>\n

If you love travelling or spending time at the pack, consider buying a lightweight and compact electric can opener that you can carry in your pocket and use wherever you are.<\/p>\n

The can opener should be battery-powered.<\/p>\n
