Asking regulars.

No frills, just electric. Something that doesn't wow you, but something that
lasts. You know, not like some cool looking device that seems to work, you
show and tell every visitor, but a month later you throw it away.

The Chinese Communist Party is trying to destroy branding. But a brand name
device is what I'm looking for.

Thanks.

You didn't say which country.

In UK, I recommend kitchen appliances by Kenwood, was British, now
owned by De Longhi (Italy). Still manufacturing in China in a factory
previously owned by Kenwood, and still under the brand name Kenwood.

When my first Kenwood hand mixer died (almost 50) I was delighted to
find the same design still available and bought another. Simple,
elegant, very robust. They are still branded Kenwood because of the
excellent reputation.

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.

Are you sure you were in the Navy? You don't know much about restaurant
cooking either.

You snip my link to such a commercial an opener and insert your own link
to show you know more than me. Uh huh.

Was this your ship in the Navy?

Perhaps not, but perhaps the OP (assuming not a troll?) also has
physical issues that make using a manual can opener difficult?

I'm also on-board with a simple Swing-A-Way, but this electric is
a quality name brand.

Huawei is good. Their 5G can opener constantly monitors your
algorithms and know what can you want open - and when.
