Can opener that can't open the can?

Dosenöffner der die Dose nicht öffnen kann?

I bought a winged can opener for 4.50. because I couldn't open the Champignons de Paris M-Classic cans with my safety can opener.
Unfortunately, even with the M Budget wing can opener it is not possible to open the Migros Champignons M-Classic cans.
So I had to buy the more expensive Cucina&Tavola can opener for 9.80 just so that I could open the cans.
I like to eat a lot of mushrooms and bought 36 cans during a promotion.

It later turned out that the peas and ruebli cans were also affected.

Of course I also have a bag knife, but that's not the point of using a bag knife at home.

is the rim of the can too narrow for the gearwheel of the opener to grip?

The rim of the can is too narrow, but this only seems to be the case with M cans.

Hello@Yellow_Astra

I'm sorry that our cans have caused you so much trouble. I have forwarded your feedback to the product range managers so that they can understand and check the problem. I am glad that you have found a good alternative with the Cucina&Tavola opener.

Kind regards
Tanja

In the meantime, I'm sure there will be an answer from those responsible for the range. Although I can open the lids, I would also like to remove the base for disposal so that I can store the cans in a space-saving way until then. Unfortunately, this is not possible with 3 different can openers.

Hello @stillhet

Which cans can't you open? Also the ones from M-Classic? Thanks for your feedback. Best wishes and have a nice afternoon, Nicole

Hello Nicole
Yes, the M-Classic cans where the bottom rim is a little narrower so that the cans can be stacked. Many of them have a tab to open the can, couldn't this be attached to the narrow rim so that the counterpart can be removed later with the can opener?

@stillhet:Our tins are manufactured in accordance with a generally applicable standard. Compliance with this standard guarantees that the individual cans can be opened easily with standard can openers. However, some cans in Migros are made stackable, and if you want to open these cans at the bottom, this can actually be a little more difficult, but it is still possible. We are constantly reviewing this so that we can offer our customers optimum quality. We are happy to take your suggestion for a tab at the bottom of the can on board and will check this with the manufacturers.

In addition, more and more cans have a ring clip or so-called "easy to open" closure. This is currently being used on many cans - not only in Migros - and is intended to make it easier to open the can without a can opener. We hope that this will make it quicker and easier to use, so that you can take a can with you on the go, for example. However, with a little dexterity, these items can also be opened with a standard can opener.

Best regards, Tamara

Why do you have to remove the bottom to flatten the can? I do it quite simply by standing on it twice: Place the can on the bottom, stand on it and press it together. Now stand on the can again so that the base is pressed completely against the side of the can - and the thing is as flat as a plate.

I have the same problem. I can't open the bottom of the can of Mclassic (red kidney beans). Does anyone else have this problem?
