I have a hate affair with can openers. They always mess up until I bought this Oxo can opener. I got it at a mall I think, but then I gave first one and then a second to my sons when they moved out. They had crappy can openers, so I gave them mine each time. The second time I could not find the Oxo in town, so I came to Amazon. Yay. They have it. So, if I find anyone else who is tired of can openers that do not work well, I know where to get a great one.
