How long is the electric wine opener going to be available for ordering? First I was told it was until the end of December then I was told to the end of February. Does anyone know for sure and where can I find this kind of information our in the consultants corner. I am new to PC and having...

So I am at a show. Used the electric wine opener for the first time (not a wine drinker). The cork will not come out. We followed the directions exactly and now the corkscrew is just turning and the cork is not coming off. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone! I had someone come up to me at a fundraiser who said they bought the Pampered Chef can opener a little less than a year ago and they loved it while it was working, but just recently it has stopped working. He said it just won't open the cans, it will leave a mark but not go through...

Hi, I'm located in the UK and bought a wine bottle opener before they were discontinued over here. My son is wanting one, SO I wondered whether anyone could help me out? It looks as if PC might be changing the design in the US next month? It was the #2157 item Thanks Natalie

Is there any way to sharpen the can opener? A customer is asking and it might be time for a new one.

Does anyone have this and is it simple to use? :)

Hi Ladies- I did my first show last night! I had a guest ask me about her smooth-edge can opener. She wanted to know if there was a way to sharpen the cutting blade as it is getting worn down. Do any of you know if you can do that? Thanks! Sarah

I hate it! It seems so flimsy--half the time I have to go around AGAIN to get it to cut through... last week I went to open a small can of diced green chiles for the salsa and I had to go around 4 TIMES! It was embarassing.I've sent 3 back to HO and they are all flimsy. Thoughts?

Hey All, I have a customer looking for the retired smooth edge can opener. Does anyone have a NIP one that you can ship to my customer and we'll send payment??? Thanks, Becky

So I had a housewarming party and I got 2 decent size orders from two of my Aunts' I was originally going to add them to a show I haven't closed yet. However, I then realized that I could submit those 2 orders and have enough for a show to put in my name and could attempt to collect some more...

I have a show tomorrow night with a lady that sings in the church choir with me. The church organist (who is my best guy friend) said he needs a can opener but can't come tomorrow. SO my question is has anyone used the new Can opener and is it a lot better than the current version (I haven't...

Just used this for the first time. I was a little disappointed when they announced they redesigned it. It's a really popular item to begin with, not like anything is wrong with it. It was - well - SMOOTH. I really liked how it attached and was easy to get going. It seemed a little harder to...

I just got an email from a customer: "That wine bottle opener broke while we were opening a bottle. What can I do? I fear that this is a problem with this type of opener and will happen again." I don't have this, but those of you that do - have you ever had any trouble with it? I know there...

I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know the answer to this question. You'd think after 8 years, I should know, but I don't. Is there a way to sharpen the can opener? I've wondered that myself, but never bothered to find out the answer --- not I have a customer wondering. Thanks!:confused:

Hey, I have a friend/customer whose can opener has become dull over time (longer than the 2 year warranty I'd imagine). She was told she would have to have the blades sharpened somewhere and this is probably going to cost her almost as much as a new can opener! Is there anything I can tell...

I had a customer contact me telling me she can't figuire out how to use the can opener, i dont have one to try and see if I can figure it out. is there a trick to it?

Is there are a little trick to sharpening the can opener? If that's even possible. I know about chopping aluminum foil with the food chopper to sharpen those blades and I thought I remembered hearing something similar with the can opener, but I tried it and I can't get it to go through. I...

I have a customer who said it now takes at least three turns around the can for the opener to finally get the lid off. She wants to know if there is a way to sharpen the opener.

My host just called to say she received her Smooth Edge Can Opener, and when she tried to use it the first time all it did was dent the can. I did say that it takes practice to get it right, but she said she had an older version so figured it should be no problem learning how to use this one...

Hi, I have a guest who purchased a can opener, several years ago. Does anyone know what the warranty is on this? Also, she told me that the part you turn, keeps coming off. Do we sell a replacement part for this? Thanks! Andrea

Hey...I can't my copy of the instructions on how to use the can opener in "inuendo" form...Could anybody direct me to a thread and/or actually post it? Thanks....

old style Wine Bottle Opener Rectangle Lid/Baker anyone?????

I have been wondering for a long time now if my can opener is working properly. I always have a hard time getting the lid to come off. Most times I have to go around 2 or more times. Then when it does come off, it always shows the black/brown/or grey glue in strings as I'm pulling it off. Is...

Someone contacted me via my Tasty Tidbits site and is looking for the old style that was discontinued. I'll be happy to pass him along to someone who can help him... he's not one of my personal customers.

:confused: Does anyone have the use and care card for the old wine bottle opener? I, of course, had a lady come up to me today and said she and her husband could not figure out the wine bottle opener she purchased. I tried the PC website but they have already switched to the new one. Any help...
