Faberware makes a good can opener. I’ve gone through a lot of can openers but this one has held up better than the other brands that I’ve used. My wife bought it. I liked it well enough to take it in the divorce.

Yup. Oxo makes a good one, too. And you can reuse the lid as a lid.

Zyliss, I have an older model, but this one works the same way. The other ones some folks have mentioned work on the same principal, they cut through the seam.



My wife likes the old Swing A Way better, but she's always worried about the sharp edges. Like........Duh

I’ve been using a cutco can opener for more than twenty years. It rips through with ease

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.


This summer I bought a cheap can opener for the RV, just to use a few times a year. It broke on the first can.

I can risk the sharp can lids for one that actually functions.

Thanks for the help guys...still not sure what to do. The Chinese swing away is garbage like all Chinese crap...the pampered chef one looks plasticy and fragile. US swing aways on eBay may be worn out...That big boobed brunette looks about perfect but with COVID lockdowns and all and all I doubt I can afford it.

Just make the rounds of the Salvation Army and Goodwill stores. They get all that kitchen stuff from estates. When Gma dies it goes.

Just get the Zyliss. They work great, are made in Switzerland and mine has lasted over 10 years.

Funny a P38 to open and a butter knife handle to shove the cork down and keep it open to pour
