Electric can openers stopped being the greatest of things years ago. The first ones that I bought I loved but later on they seemed to go dull and not open almost as fast as you opened them. I went to the hand operated ones that have the large handles on them. I've had mine for over 5yrs (way over) and when my daughter moved out she wanted it because it did such a great job. I gave it to her and got another one. The ones with the large handles are made from Oxo and Kitchen Aid and I'm sure others but these I know work great. I wouldn't buy another electric one for anything. I rather use the old punch ones before I got an electric one. Good luck on your search. If you haven't tried one with the large hand grips you might want to one they run under $10.
