does it only work on cans that already have a pull top opener?

Opens all cans...Great opener!!!

is it suitable for elderly with arthritis

Yes, in my opinion. I am elderly-74 yrs.-although my arthritis is not too bad. I estimate that the necessary force to push down the activator switch is less than 2 pounds. Hope this helps.

What is "Frustration-Free Packaging" and why is it so much less expensive?

The phrase, “frustration free packaging”, is supposed to refer to packaging one can open without a scalpel or hatchet. In other words, the product isn't packaged in one of those stupid plastic heat-sealed enclosures that became popular some years ago. One prime example is batteries used to come in a box. Now they're imprisoned behind a plastic barrier that I have to use an industrial saw on. An example of this kind of packaging would be a nice plain paperboard box that one can open out flat and recycle in the bin.

how to rinse the blade after use

This type of can opener doesn’t actually have “blades”. I has some sort of “wedge” that simply separates the glue seal between the can and the lid of the can; hence, that is why there are no sharp edges. This is an awesome can opener, even though occasionally, on some larger cans, one might need to have the can “travel” around the opener two times in order to break the strong seal of these larger cans. I have used one of these openers in the past, and have just purchased another one having lost my first one due to a move.
