    I don’t like electric can openers. I strongly prefer to just use a manual one. I just see an appliance that has but one use and requires electricity to be tremendous waste.

        Making things electric was the “adding AI” of 20 years ago. Make something that works more complex and difficult to use, but the future!

          More like 40 years!

          That said, I loved my electric opener from 92’.

          There was a knack to it, but I could be done opening a can before someone even started with a manual opener.

      Not to mention they’re kind of hard to clean! Electric can openers are the worst. When the top pops off, they often send the contents of the can all over, too.
