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.
