I first considered going with a cheap electric, but from what I’ve seen those are poorly made, relatively bulky, and won’t provide much in the way of a speed advantage. I wanted something well-made and traditional, but easy and quick.
This product was just what I was looking for. High capacity, quick speed, and an easy mechanism since it uses the leverage of a large handle. It is more expensive (about double the above-linked model), but the price difference was worth it to me. I’ve been using for about six months, and it’s working great. It feels sturdy and well made, and opens cans very quickly (even faster than most automatics).
As with all things, it’s not perfect and there are some drawbacks with this design. First, it’s larger and heavier than a “standard” can opener due to the large handle. I don’t think there’s any way they could avoid this with this design keep the quality feel. It’s worth noting that there are two versions of this can opener: this one, where the handle folds (saving about an inch of space in a tight cabinet), and another where it is fixed. The fixed handle version is slightly cheaper, but I’d recommend going with this one unless you have a massive kitchen or have developed some kind of fourth dimensional storage system and truly don’t need to worry about space.
The second major drawback is that it’s not as maneuverable on small cans since the handle is fairly long. If you’re opening, say, a can of tuna , you have to use the edge of the counter or the handle won’t be able to make a full revolution. Again, I don’t see any way this could be avoided without decreasing the effectiveness, or increasing the price and failure chance by adding extra fold points.
The third drawback is price. While this can opener is only around $12 USD as of this writing, it’s double the price of a “standard” design. If you don’t mind the standard can opener, it’s probably not worth the price jump to getting this one. Again, you can save a dollar or two by getting the non-folding version which will work just as well, if you can afford the space, but that’s probably not worth it to most people.
Overall, the speed and ease of use outweigh the bulkiness and increased price for me. I haven’t run into any quality issues after six months of use and it feels like this will last a decade, although I don’t use it every day. This opener meets my needs perfectly so I’m giving it five stars, if I were going to hold it back I would say it’s due to the relatively high price. I’m banking on it lasting me a long time so that it will be worth the investment, and if you care enough about your can opener to read a 500+ word review, I’d say this one is probably worth it to you.
I saw this Swing-A-Way model and thought the crank handle would make using it easier for my wife who has arthritis, and I remembered how well the old Swing-A-Way performed. The crank handle does indeed make cutting a lid easier even if it makes the opener clunky looking. But here's the major problem: in over a month of ownership, this opener has yet to cut off a lid completely, exactly the same issue that motivated me to purchase a new opener. I intend to return it, and if the replacement works as it should I'll amend this review.
Update: The replacement performs a fair bit better though it occasionally fails to cut 100%, so I've upgraded my rating. Just one more observation: though the large crank does make turning the cutter wheel easier, because it sticks out from the handles the twisting motion requires a stronger grip on those handles. Easier in one aspect but more difficult in another.
The only downside is that it’s a little bulky, but honestly that’s a small price to pay for a good, durable can opener. If you have someone in your life who may be a little weaker in the hands, this is perfect!!

It should be hand washed and not put in the dishwasher. I have bought two as gifts, and they are very sturdy and durable. I would recommend to anyone for ease and convenience.
This is exactly how you are hoping it is. It does everything you want. Buy it. Buy it now. It's BETTER than most electric openers.
