<p>^^^ lol. I totally agree.</p>
<p>My mother was horrified when, as a newlywed in the 1970’s, I did not want an electric can opener. Unless you are opening dozens of cans per day, why would you need an electric? Why would you want it to take up space on your counter? Why would you want to use electricity for such an easy job?</p>
<p>There is a huge difference among the various ones you “throw in a drawer.” I’m with all of those who mentioned the [manual</a> swingaway](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Amco-Swing-407WH-Portable-Opener/dp/B0000505IZ/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1245539421&sr=1-16]manual”>http://www.amazon.com/Amco-Swing-407WH-Portable-Opener/dp/B0000505IZ/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1245539421&sr=1-16). Once I discovered the value of spending a few dollars more for that type of model vs. the uber-cheap not very reliable throwaway type ([butterfly</a> can opener](<a href=“Maintenance Page | Kitchen Aria)%5Dbutterfly”>Maintenance Page | Kitchen Aria))), I have never had to replace one.</p>
