The Pampered Chef can opener is hands down the best.

Zyliss is the best I have found. It pops the top so there's no sharp edge. I've had mine for at least 10 years with no issues & I believe it was made in Switzerland.

'course you could always get a commercial Ellund.

This.

If you can get a USA made Swingaway, it’s second best.

I did not know that this is a problem. I will soon be decanting the Bush's Homestyle Beans to accompany the Kingsford ribs in a motel room in Ely Nv. It will be a struggle equal to uncorking a bottle of wine w/ a manual cork puller but easier. Would this qualify as a 1st world problem?

Pampered Chef. It’s the best manual can opener ever. It’s just great.

The problem with can openers today is that just like anything else, they're made in chiner. Anything made in chiner is of significantly lower quality than those items manufactured in the US, Germany, Switzerland, etc.

You may say, but I don't want to spend X amount on a can opener and opt instead for for a cheap chiner one. Well, that's fine, just expect it to break within a week, if not immediately.

Yup.
The skinny ones with a church key on one leg are good too. But more apt to get buried in the drawer.
Avoid ones with a plastic handle to turn the advancer gear.

You might try one of the ones listed here:

"Best" can opener review

Best part is the top two are made in the USA.

We've had a Kitchen Aid for several years that works great, but I don't know if their current version is same.

I had a Kitchen Aid and it lasted for two years, good while it lasted. The wheel that did the cutting got dull.
