An excellent product
Product replaces another identical letter opener which broke after many years of service. I am very pleased with the device. It is easy to use and requires battery replacement infrequently

automatic letter opener
This was without a doubt the worst purchase i've ever made for my home office.. Right out of the box it did not open the first letter or any letter for that matter. very disappointed and would not recommend it to anyone. I only gave a one star because it would not let me give zero stars.

Great letter opener
Awesome letter opener. After having it for a while now it continues to impress. Help tip: set opener on desk, insert mail and let the machine do the rest. Do not try to feed it. It will do it automatically.

Does what it should
I have arthritis in both hands so using a traditional letter opener was becoming increasingly difficult. This little guy here is inexpensive yet terribly convenient. It opens letters with ease, though you do have to guide it through the machine a bit. You can open letters on the long edge or the short edge, just make sure you tap them on your desk a few times first so t...

Pretty good little tool
I’ve been using it for a week now. It’s really light and easy to use. You want to tap the envelope on the desk first, to make sure the paper inside is positioned away from the edge you are cutting off, as it takes a slice about an eighth of an inch away. If you don’t hold the envelope with a little pressure all the way through, it will only cut part of it. Now I’m g...

Electronic envelope opener
Opens ladders continuously really fast it does take for double a batteries but it's worth it cuz it works really well and save your hands especially with you have a lot of mail to open like I did but I would definitely buy as well worth the money

lightweight
the unit was so lightweight that I frequently had to put the letter through twice. Had to get a rubber mat out so the unit would stay in one place long enough to send a letter through. I only have one hand, so I could not use the other hand to hold the unit down firmly, or I'm sure it would have worked better.

Loud and Distracting
It seemed to have worked fine but it's not quiet as described. Very loud and distracting. Returned to the store.

This my second one and it works great. My first one lasted several years of almost daily use. I would definately recommend it. It is very handy.

Poor performance
It only works about 20% of the time. Very disappointed. Obviously would not recommend it. Will return it to the store for a refund.

Great Gadget!
I have severe arthritis in my hands and this automatic letter opener is a whiz at neatly cutting open all my mail for my home and business. I would recommend it to anyone with lots of daily mail.

Martin Yale® Premier® Battery-operated Letter Opener
Works great but loud. My coworkers get startled when I open a piece of mail. If it weren't for the noise I'd rate it five stars.
