3 hours ago, Shelby said:I got this for Christmas and I really like it. Hands free, just place on the can and push the button.
Two caveats: I don't open a ton of cans, and I've only had it since December.
I love this style of can opener! I can't use any other kind now, especially since I am left-handed and traditional hand-held openers are torture for me to use.
I've tried a few different models over the years and most have been great, though I'm not sure if I've used @Shelby's model or not. My current one is made by Zyliss, I like it because it's more compact than some. It's about 5 inches long.
I see @DiggingDogFarm's preference is for traditional openers though, so I guess that rules out this type?
Edited to add: Maybe I shouldn't say most of these have been 'great', but they have been mostly decent. I did have one that went through batteries like crazy and one that was stupidly slow and ended up donating or returning those.
