I hate the electric ones too. My mom's hangs under a cabinet and we've learned that I'm not allowed to use it. LOL I always end up dropping the can on the counter below... making a huge mess... and then treking off to the store for a new can of whatever I just wasted.

I use a hand held Pampered Chef one...I love it because it makes a smooth edge and that way you dont get cut!

I hate electric can openers; I find them to be a waste of time and counter space as well. I have always prefered hand-held ones.

I like electric canopeners..there is a new one they advertise on the tv.. that you just put onto the can and it moves itself..have you heard of this one?

just a plain old handheld for me. The electric ones are just a waste to me..they don't fit in a drawer and take up precious cabinet space.

I did finally break down and get one with a comfy handle instead of the cheap-o all metal one.
