I eat lot's of canned food and I love the stuff like canned tuna for example. What are some of the high tech can openers out there, even if money is no object. Any state of the art products?

This one impressed me the other day I was at a Target shopping for clothes: http://www.blackanddeckerappliances.com/product-27.html

nuff said. Every electric or "new design" of a can opener I've found either breaks down or takes longer to open a can then an inexpensive regular opener. Honestly, what's wrong with the tried and true design?

The difference between a good manual can opener and a crappy one is also astounding.

It's about reaching new horizens

I've used those silver hand crank (commercial) ones. They last forever, but the blade needs to be resharpened quite a bit if you open more than a few dozen cans a day.

X2, after various attempts I always return to this.

All my cans have pull tabs.

There are these, which cuts below the rim, and thus does not leave a sharp edged lid:

Yes, like the original [no joke]: hammer and chisel.

I like the modern manual models that cut from the side instead from the top. Ikea over here sells perfectly fine ones for cheap: http://www.ikea.com/de/de/catalog/products/10083486
