I don’t like electric can openers. I strongly prefer to just use a manual one. I just see an appliance that has but one use and requires electricity to be tremendous waste.
Im going to disagree but its a bit situational for me. I used manual but I have a dog that requires this prescription canned dog food and when its that often the electric makes a difference. Its funny because the cans have pull tabe but it leaves a lip and I like to get the whole mass out like the crappy jello like cranberry sauce.
I like leaving the last 2 or so cm of lid attached so the can and lid stay together. Can’t do that automatically (well, I could, but that juice isn’t worth the squeeze).
3000% honesty, you are right. It is a waste, using a good manual can opener is far more satisfying. Like the electricity needed for the electric one is miniscule at best but its still wasted since it rakes 10 seconds to open one with a manual. I get people who are differently abled and need these, but the average person gets no real value from an electric one.
Not to mention they’re kind of hard to clean! Electric can openers are the worst. When the top pops off, they often send the contents of the can all over, too.

Wow I have never had an electric can opener, are they common in home kitchens?

I love my P-38 can opener. It was made 80 years ago and it’s still opening cans like tin foil.
Came here to rep the P38. What a boss of a can opener.

I didn’t even know electric can openers were a thing
Never seen back to the future? One in the opening scene.
Lol I must have forgotten about the can opener in the opener
Making things electric was the “adding AI” of 20 years ago. Make something that works more complex and difficult to use, but the future!
More like 40 years!
That said, I loved my electric opener from 92’.
There was a knack to it, but I could be done opening a can before someone even started with a manual opener.
