    Electric can openers seem like peak capitalism. A can opener is such a simple thing that requires very little effort, but what if it was 10x the price, had a bunch more things that could break, and is useless in a power outage?

          if you're going through high volume you can open up large cans way faster with the table-mounted crank kind than you can with an electric opener

        There are situations where they are useful but I cannot understand why an able-bodied adult would get an electric can-opener for their home.

      And you can get them in fun bougie colors like my teal with gold flakes can opener that a friend gave me from Anthropologie
