We just cannot find a decent manual can-opener.Have an electric one,but such a pain in the # to get out all the time.(next garage sale.)Have bought different styles of cheapish ones,but all short-lived.What's a good brand!I'll bet cookessentials will help! Thanks.

I've got a Swing-away, and it's excellent.It's a wall one, manual, with a magnet to hold the lid once cut, and I've had it for years so can't remember where I got it.

Also have a tupperware can opener and it is great. Had it for about 8 years and it is as good as the day I got it.

We have the culinare magican now for approx 10 yrs, still going strong, and not overly expensive, from memory.

I have a Swing-A-Way which is the best of my 3 can openers

I have struggled with my tupperware can opener.Had it nearly one year.True, when it does open the tin, there are no sharp edges, and the lid will go back on the can if necessary.But I struggle often to get the opener to open the can.Any hints would be thankfully received.

Same as daisyk - it may be the way I am holding it!(It started off really great, but recently I have had some difficulties.)

Sheesh I used to go through so many and was so frustrated. Finally I bought a $1.95 cheapo from the Warehouse. Six years later and its still going strong and never been a problem.

The Orbi ones are also great. I like the Kuhn Rikon or Zyliss because they cut the top off the can and roll the edge of the can and the lid meaning no sharp edges.
