I was dying for the can opener attachment and finally got it two years ago when it was on sale for $28. It works great, but it's not very convenient. It's not like a normal can opener, where you just press down the handle to attach the can and open it. With this one, you need to first attach the can, then turn on the mixer to the lowest speed. It's not like it's a big deal, but it's just not as convenient as a normal can opener.
