Electric can opener

How many of you prefer an electric can opener over the Kuhn Rikon? Or do you use both? Or neither?

We use OXO can openers and wouldn't give counter space to an electric one.

I prefer an electric due to arthritis but can't seem to find one that works properly.

We prefer manual can openers.

I have a Cuisinart electric can opener. A little pricey but works very well.

I've never liked electric can openers - they're sort of an eye sore IMO, so I use a hand held opener that I've had for years. I have only minor arthritis problems in my right hand, so it hasn't been a problem. I like the KR brand, but don't see a reason for buying one since my old can opener works just fine. Many cans now have the pull tab, so it's not much of a problem.

I have a Hamiltom Beach , I believe from Amazon. It uncoils the lid, does not cut it. It's electric, didn't cost a lot, and is probably 9 inches high and base is propably 5 inches. Doesn't take up a lot of room, works great and I love it. Best can opener I ever had.

I need to use an electric can opener because of arthritis in my hands. But it doesn't sit out on the counter. I store it in a lower cabinet, right in the front. It's small and lightweight so no problem taking it out when I need it.

Sounds like the same one that arrived at my house from Amazon on Friday. It's the exact same model I needed to replace. Have loved it so much for many years is why I got that one again. Biggest plus feature for me is no jagged lid.
