    +1 another on the Oxo. Been using one for years. Works just fine.

    I'm sorry I can't help. I have my mother's electric can opener which was a wedding present, making it about 45 years old.

    We have a Kitchenaid that we like real well. It has a big wing nut to turn which gives good leverage. I think it came from Bed, Bath and Beyond.

    We also have the kind that separates the lid. Works well on some lids, no too well on others. We went back to the above.

    The one on my Swiss Army knife has performed well for the last 40 years. But, that said, haven't had much call to use it in recent decades. All pull-tabs now.
