Joseph Joseph Can Openers — Customer FAQ (New Zealand)
What makes Joseph Joseph can openers different from other can openers?
Joseph Joseph focuses on user-friendly details — ergonomic grips, smooth cutting wheels and compact profiles that store easily. The brand aims to remove small frustrations, like slipping handles and awkward leverage, so everyday tasks feel quicker and safer.
Will a Joseph Joseph can opener fit on all standard cans?
Most manual Joseph Joseph can openers are designed to work with the common can sizes found in New Zealand kitchens. If you regularly open unusually shaped tins or industrial-size cans, check the product description to confirm suitability.
Are these can openers easy for people with weak hands or arthritis?
Many models include wide, soft-touch handles and efficient gearing that reduce the effort needed to turn the opener. Look for ergonomic or low-force designs if hand strength is a concern.
Do Joseph Joseph can openers leave sharp edges on cans?
Many modern can openers are designed to reduce the risk of jagged rims by cutting the lid in a way that leaves a safer edge. While designs vary, Joseph Joseph aims to minimise sharp edges; still, handle the lid and can with care after opening.
How do I clean and care for my can opener?
Wipe the opener clean after each use and rinse any food residue away. For a deeper clean, follow the manufacturer’s care notes — most units are not dishwasher-friendly, so hand wash and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
Are Joseph Joseph can openers dishwasher safe?
Check the specific product page — some pieces have removable parts that tolerate the dishwasher, but many are recommended for hand washing to preserve gears and grips. The product description will state the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long should a Joseph Joseph can opener last?
With normal household use and basic care (cleaning and drying after use), a quality manual can opener can last for years. Longevity depends on frequency of use and maintenance — avoid leaving it wet or in contact with salty air for long periods.
Is there a difference between top-cut and side-cut openers in this range?
Top-cut openers remove the lid by cutting the upper rim, while side-cut (safety) openers cut along the side, often producing a smoother edge. Choose the style you prefer — many shoppers favour safety-style cutters for cleaner results.
Can these can openers be used by left-handed people?
Most manual can openers work equally well for left- and right-handed users, though comfort may vary with handle shape. If left-handed use is important, look for openers with symmetrical grips and straightforward turning mechanisms.
Do Joseph Joseph can openers have a warranty or guarantee?
Warranty terms vary by model and retailer. Check the product page on our store for specific warranty information and any registration steps required. If you have an issue, contact our customer support and we’ll guide you through the return or replacement process.
Can I store the can opener in a drawer without damaging it?
Yes — storing the opener dry in a drawer is fine. Avoid leaving it near damp sinks or where it can collect moisture. If your kitchen is humid, a hung position or a dry cupboard is a good option.
How do I know which model is best for heavy-duty use?
For frequent or heavy-duty use, choose can openers with strong metal gears, reinforced wheels and robust handles. Product descriptions will highlight “heavy-duty” or “commercial-style” features — compare those notes if you open many large tins often.
