Judge 60W electric can opener with knife sharpener and bottle opener
A 60W electric can opener that opens tins up to 1.1kg with automatic shut-off, plus a built-in knife sharpener and bottle opener.
The Judge JEA48 is an electric can opener built to handle common tin sizes up to 1.1kg. A 60W motor drives the cutting wheel, and the opener shuts off automatically once the tin is fully cut, rather than needing to be watched and switched off by hand.
A magnet holds the cut lid away from the tin once it's open, so there's no fishing a sharp lid out from inside. Beyond opening tins, it also works as a knife sharpener and bottle opener, and the arm that grips the tin is removable for cleaning.
Ideal For
Handles common tin sizes up to 1.1kg automatically, useful for anyone who'd rather not wrestle with a stiff manual can opener at every single meal.
One motor does the cutting and stops itself once the tin is open, needing far less grip and effort than turning a manual opener by hand.
A can opener, knife sharpener and bottle opener combined into one single unit means fewer separate gadgets taking up precious space in a crowded drawer.
Key Features
Drives the cutting wheel around the tin automatically, rather than needing to be turned by hand from start to finish.
Handles all common tin sizes up to 1.1kg, covering most everyday tins in the cupboard without needing a separate manual opener.
Stops on its own once the tin is fully cut, rather than needing to be watched and switched off part way.
A magnet lifts the cut lid away from the tin, so there's no reaching in to pull out a sharp lid.
Two extra functions are built into the same unit, alongside the main can-opening mechanism, for noticeably less drawer clutter overall.
The arm that grips the tin lifts away from the main body, making it easier to clean thoroughly after use.
Three tools built into one body
Rather than a single-purpose gadget, the JEA48 combines a can opener with a knife sharpener and a bottle opener in one unit. It's a practical way to cut down on drawer clutter: instead of three separate tools, each doing one job, there's one appliance that covers all three. The core job, opening tins, still comes first, but the extra functions mean it earns its space for more than just that.
Automatic from start to finish
A 60W motor drives the cutting wheel around the tin on its own, and the opener stops itself once the cut is complete, rather than needing to be watched and switched off at the right moment. It's built to handle all common tin sizes up to 1.1kg, which covers most everyday tins without needing to check first whether a particular one will fit.
Small details that avoid sharp edges
Two details set the JEA48 apart from basic electric can openers. A magnet lifts the cut lid away from the tin as soon as it's open, so there's no need to reach in and pull out a sharp disc of metal by hand. The second is a removable arm, the part that grips the tin and touches food, which lifts away from the main body for cleaning rather than being wiped around in place. Together they take two fiddly, faintly risky parts of opening a tin and design them out.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | Judge Feature | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Opening everyday tins | 60W motor, automatic cut | The cutting wheel works its way around the tin on its own once started. |
| Avoiding a sharp lid | Magnetic lid holder | A magnet lifts the cut lid clear of the tin instead of leaving it to fish out by hand. |
| Knowing when it's done | Automatic shut-off | The opener stops itself once the tin is fully cut, rather than needing to be watched. |
| Keeping knives sharp | Built-in knife sharpener | A second function sharpens kitchen knives without needing a separate sharpening tool. |
| Opening bottles | Built-in bottle opener | A third function opens bottles, adding to the can opener and knife sharpener in the same unit. |
| Cleaning after use | Removable arm | The arm that grips the tin lifts away from the body for easier cleaning. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 60W motor opens tins automatically up to 1.1kg
- Automatic shut-off once the tin is fully cut
- Magnet lifts the cut lid away from the tin
- Built-in knife sharpener as a second function
- Built-in bottle opener as a third function
- Removable arm for easier cleaning
Considerations
- It's built for tins up to 1.1kg, so unusually large or oddly shaped tins may not fit the cutting arm properly.
- Judge doesn't state whether the removable arm is dishwasher safe, so it's worth washing it by hand unless stated otherwise.
- As a countertop appliance with a fixed cutting wheel, it needs its own spot on the counter rather than living in a drawer like a manual opener.
