There's no electric can opener that can compete with Swing-A-Way.
Electrics get dirty quickly, are a PIA to clean, and of those I've
used get dull and leave a jagged edge. Even commercial kitchens use
manual can openers. If you find yourself opening too many cans buy
larger cans. Today many cans are going pull-tab. Professional cooks
open cans of liquids by whacking a 'v' in the lid with the back of a
chefs knife or use a church key and pour.
