My old one bit the dust. It was so useful that I bought another Sunbeam can opener. So easier than a manual can opener.

I have fond memories of our cute cats little faces racing over to the kitchen! As soon as they heard the can opener, they knew it was time for dinner!

Mine is a Kenwood and is still in use. Dogs and cats do love the sound!
