We've been using an oxo for a few years w/o complaints. We also have one of these sitting in our junk draw. It still works great, but it gets forgotten about.

I have a cheapazz generic one I use in the barn kitchen. It opens cans without fail. Don't overthink it.

I've never went wrong with OXO . I have one that does the rim , no sharp edge . Not sure of the brand , but I like it .

Oh man I feel your pain.

Here is the one I got for the girlfriend recently and she raves about it! 4.4 stars of 1.9k reviews.
Also under $7 and sturdy.

. Not sure of the brand , but I like it .

Just went and looked . Pampered Chef . Cuts the side of the lid . Also has a bottle opener , " Tab flipper " and a set of " jaws " that grab the lid off the can .
No idea what it cost , but it works good .

I would have much better luck with that compared to the good housekeeping one I have now.

believe it or not, we use the one I bought at a discount store for my first apartment in the 90's, we have tried others (OXO included) and the cheap one is still better. It is branded "swingaway" and made in the USA.

Yep same one as I posted. We have 1 of them for each residence.
Forgot about the made in the USA and cheaper than the made in ? junk.

We have been using under counter can openers for years. I dumbly replaced ours with a new one a year and a half ago when we had our kitchen rebuilt. That one is already broken.

My wife just bought a Le Creuset manual which we will be using until I get a better quality under counter one again.

Edit: Added in a photo of can opener and teapot.

I need to get a manual backup for the electric the wife uses. Tag for ideas.

OXO.

And if you like the safety kind the Kuhn Rikon is a good one.
